INSPIRATION





Wednesday of this past week the girls and I went on another adventure up to the mountains. While we were getting ready, putting all the stuff on that you need to keep warm (this time we needed it all) we saw some older woman. They were all putting on the stuff that you need to keep warm and we didn't think much of it. We went on our way. We were at Solitude and got to start at the bottom this time...the road that is always groomed to the cross country skiers was the only thing to walk on, I was so excited, big road...walking side by side, talking so that you could hear everyone this was the life. Betty and Patty both have had foot surgery last month so we were taking it easy so they didn't do to much their first time back. All of a sudden these woman all in a row came up behind us...we looked at them...they were all over 60 years old...one of them was 80 and had just had some heart surgery!!! Well we went on our way because they had to go back on check on Nancy who was the 80 year old. On our way back we ran into them again...all was well with Nancy. Well we had the feet girls and they were getting tired so turned back and headed down the mountain. They said, did you make it all the way to Brighton? We said, No we needed to head back because of Betty and Patty's feet were sore and we didn't want them to do too much. They looked at us like we were nuts! They told us that they did this 2 times a week and hiked in the summer, road bikes out by Salt Air...now we all know that if we stick together we will be them one day.Well I asked if I could take their picture and here you have it. After we got down all of us brought food and had a yummy lunch, freezing out on the tables that were at one of the restaurant at Solitude. Than we went to Betty's house and sat in her hot tub to warm up. I am so thankful for these woman who have got me out of my box.
