The wife was disappointed when she decided that at 72 she was just too old to go sledding. I pointed out a hill with a gentle slope and lots of run out but she declined. Then yesterday late afternoon I pulled up in front of the house. There was a big snow ball in the front yard. She was busy. I asked her what was up? She said she was making a snowman. So now we have Frosty the Snowman in our yard. Too old to go sledding but still young enough to build a snowman. I guess I am lucky she didn't want to have a snowball fight.

WOW 72 and building a snowman. I love it. We build sand castles over here in California. We have a warm spell moving through the area for the next week. Mid temps at 75 degrees
 
The wife has a sled that was left here by the former owners. When the snow gets too deep to push a wheelbarrow from the wood shed to the house we use the sled to carry wood. Walking the dogs up on the hill she picked a spot to go sledding. Yesterday late afternoon she took the wood sled up the hill. She told me if she wasn't back by dark to send a ST Bernard with the jug of brandy strapped under its chin. I should have gone along with the camera but she didn't want photographic evidence. She said it was fun but would have been more fun if she had some kids for company. Her first spot was not steep enough and too slow. Second spot was steep enough to get up some speed. Then she found a burnt off sage brush stump which tipped her over. Then her third spot was steep enough to get up speed and not so long that it was a big hike back to the top. Next year she will have to get some kids to come join her.
