It's a Snow Day!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Last night a blustery wind tore through Southern Colorado, leaving in its wake slick streets and snowy sidewalks. When I taught school, I loved these days. I still get a 10 a.m. start, but I love the snow for a new reason...sledding.

Near our house we have a park that is excellent sledding ground. A couple of weeks ago, a storm dumped about a foot or so on the region. This was the first sledding trip with my kids.

I cherish those memories, and when I'm looking for writing fodder, these are what I'll conjure up and write about. Think back through your memory. What are some special events with your family that you could write about?
