We are the Walkie Talkies, a group of women ranging in age from our 60's to 90's, who have been walking together for over 30 years. We walk and share stories and opinions that stretch for generations. It is "inner jogging" to us because of the belly laughs we enjoy. We feel it leads to good health for all. We have cried with and supported each other through widowhood, divorce, deaths, members moving away and Alzheimer's. We have good days and "challenging" days, but not "bad" days!

Nation's Largest High School Ski Event
The local school hosted a Cross Country Invitational Ski Meet yesterday, the largest high school nordic ski meet in the nation. Out of 58 teams, our local team came in 14th. Several of the local skiers finished in the top 100, including Lorraine's granddaughter.
The weather was perfect--perhaps even a little too warm for these high-energy events--mid 20's, which is still a great deal better than any below zero weather.
Events such as this and just the general business that the ski area brings to our communities make us realize what a gem we have nearby. They help to focus on all that the area offers, including many loyal volunteers who helped to make the event run smoothly.
