I soon\u00a0 became lost in memories of times long past, when taking a body shot had little more effect than perhaps a slightly bruised ego. It didn&#8217;t take long to be on my feet, staring at and trash talkin&#8217; the non-existent crack I clumsily tripped over, and a quick glance to see if there were any witnesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7331 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_1_0122-271x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"271\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_1_0122-271x300.jpeg 271w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_1_0122.jpeg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px\" \/>Pride recovered, I&#8217;d just shake off the snow, and get on with the quest. Getting wet was remarkably similar to a wet dog smiling as he shook off the snow once he had found his way out of the snowbank after attempting a personal best, as he led with the determination of an athlete &#8230; how far could he fly and how deep would he sink (as if from a high dive, taking a perfectly choreographed dive from the top step, sinking in the deep snowbank. Dogs and kids goofing around in the snow &#8230; BEST TIMES.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">To this day I have an appreciation for the snow angels made by my black lab Sarge. Winter was like that growing up here in the Driftless Area. We had endless energy, and I only recall it being cold once. School was even canceled due to the temperature being -35\u00b0 with a -50\u00b0 wind chill. You would think the &#8220;glacial&#8221; ice that had missed the Driftless region had arrived the way the people were acting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7333\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_3_0122.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_3_0122.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_3_0122-300x201.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/>You knew the &#8220;True Natives&#8221; of the town. They were the folks saying &#8220;Ah Bull, wind chill doesn&#8217;t count for anything! Only the actual temperature gets recorded in the Farmer&#8217;s Almanac&#8221;! And everyone needed to &#8220;Tuffin Up&#8221;. That was the conversation from the barstool holders at dad&#8217;s regular stop after work, I was his gofer that day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">There weren&#8217;t a lot of holdouts. The regulars of any of the bars of our small Wisconsin town always ventured out regardless. They hadn&#8217;t taken the day off. Surely they weren&#8217;t going to forego a beer with the guys and swap stories of that bitter cold day. My dad had the best, being he was in the heating business. They&#8217;re tough as nails those guys &#8230; respect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Ah, a smile just showed up, (instantaneous and automatic with recall of another winter&#8217;s day), displayed itself widely on face and heart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Winter fun when young &#8230; a memory of freshly plowed mountains of snow that had been made just for us at the corners of the driveway. Ski hills!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7329\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_FeatImg_0122-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_FeatImg_0122-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_FeatImg_0122-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_FeatImg_0122-465x261.jpeg 465w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_FeatImg_0122-695x391.jpeg 695w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_FeatImg_0122.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/>Off we went to find grandfather&#8217;s skies that had come with his father from Germany. They were wood, with half inch wide leather straps and a buckle. All of 2 1\/2 inches wide, and 8 feet long.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">There we were, at the top of our mountain, strapping on the skies, ready-only to find the tips of the skies, well, they were at the bottom. We were determined we were SKIING down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Determination failure! There may have been several ways down, but it wasn&#8217;t going to be with the skies on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Moving on to what we might discover next, it wasn&#8217;t long before we found our mischief, No, I mean our Everest. A bit of creativity, some ingenuity, and strength, and there we were, summiting our own mountain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">We were on the roof of our two story house. The snow had drifted perfectly in a wave up to the roof and hardened in the cold. With a foot of snow base, it offered up great conditions for our first experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Can you imagine a better ski hill for some kids on 100 year old German skies? Pure bliss. Enough to keep us out of mom&#8217;s way for hours (until dad came home and put an immediate end to such shenanigans). Mom had no idea we enjoyed ourselves so much while staying outdoors all day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">As the years passed we moved on to the bigger hills. One thing for certain, here in the Driftless Area, we had a multitude of incredibly different terrain options to choose from, we just had to decide how &#8220;much&#8221; fun we were up for, and how many days we had to recover.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">You probably have surmised by now \u2026 we just accepted that pain was an inevitable part of fun, all things being relative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-7334 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_4_0122.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_4_0122.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/willowwinter_4_0122-300x264.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/>We tired quickly of the experiences mastered, thus advancing in both idea and skill (illusion perhaps, but you know what I mean, you did it too). I am pretty sure if you grew up in Wisconsin you weren&#8217;t a wimp of a girl. We lived for the moment &#8230; what consequences? It just didn&#8217;t come to mind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">So with a toboggan as the days vehicle of choice, we sought out larger-steeper challenges. The more moguls the better, and the higher the hill, well that&#8217;s a given! Sure I could steer my sled and passengers safely to the bottom, no, I promise I won&#8217;t go near the tree&#8217;s, I don&#8217;t want to break up my ride. Physical injury? Way too far off the radar! A thought like that only crept in when &#8220;Arthur&#8221; showed up decades later. Live for the day!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Like yesterday, when a young man crossing the street hurries to my aid to help me get my sprawled body off the sidewalk when I really would like to just lay there for a bit longer. But he helps me up just the same. Inquisitive dude. He was all about if I was okay &#8230; Did you break anything? &#8220;Just my arm and hand, I&#8217;m alright, thank you for the assist.&#8221; My pride? Didn&#8217;t even think to check. With pride cometh the fall! They have it backwards, but I am too far down the road to even remember I once had some.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Yes. It was yesterday that I realized I had crossed the line. I had become &#8220;A woman of a certain age &#8220;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Take the subtlety from me being schooled. What you don&#8217;t care about hurtin\u2019 while you recklessly enjoy your youth, will indeed take you limping down memory lane!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Of the many, many, many exhilarating adventures had, with complete abandon here among the Driftless, Don&#8217;t miss a moment, it is heaven on earth!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Willow &#8211; My mind wandered, as it will when unfocused.
