Wordless Wednesday & Watery Wednesday

Forty Years Ago ( age 24/25 ) in Miami and Lake Tahoe - October 27, 2010

I'm participating in Wordless Wednesday

Bundled warm and cozy,

We braved the cold and snow,

To join the ranks of skiers,

At magnificent Lake Tahoe.

After several lessons,

I bravely caught a lift,

And thanked my lucky stars,

When fate gave me a gift!

I hurtled down the mountain,

One ski left behind,

Until I crashed into you,

But you didn’t seem to mind.

We checked for broken bones,

Laughing all the while,

Even decked with snow,

You had a lovely smile.

We made it down the mountain,

And shared a nice mulled wine,

That was the beginning,

Of a winter romance divine.

As spring buds began to open,

Our feelings blossomed, too,

A romance that ignited in winter,

Grew and grew and grew.

In the warmth and heat of summer,

Under a brilliant moon,

On the blue shores of Lake Tahoe,

We exchanged our vows in June.
