Ski Hill (Chardon, Ohio) Comments

'Clouds of warmth billowed up from our bellies as we marched, dragging wood and metal in our wake.' Love that! With most of my extended family in OH and a good many years in New England, I knew exactly where you were heading. Your description of the day is enviable. So, too, is the glee embedded in this piece. You leave me aware that I've often missed the joy of that 'dazzling white ocean' for suffering a frustration upon having been, so often, surrounded by it when I'd rather be elsewhere... Christine

Your vocabulary is so descriptive, I could almost taste the hot cocoa. Excellent literary piece. A 10+............
