Tilt your head to the left


It was a very popular ski resort,Tredbo---seemed very rich-------the shops sold Prada ( how stupid is that?). Our lodge the RAN (Royal Australian Navy) Ski , was in a fantastic location close to the village of bakeries and restaurants, but was modest in accomodations( but how i know? really? how many ski lodges have I EVER experienced? 0) We had a huge kitchen area with 5 sinks, 6 frig's, 6 stoves and 6 microwaves then a big area full of tables just like 4H camp! Everyone brought food and cooked in a communal (sp?) setting.

We all had rooms, with single beds like a convent and a toilet/shower section of 8 individual cubicles.

My favorite room was the big fireplace with lots of leather furniture and a bar for all of the alcohol we had all brought with us.

So wholesome!!!! Played games, read every book I had brought. Met some precious people.

Sweet Kids


Since the weather was rough, I had plenty of company in the lodge( I do not ski). These two are Alex and Abby. I taught them to play poker, with spoons and match sticks, 1 match = 2 spoons.

Snow in August

All last week we were in Tredbo, a ski resort. This is Stevie and his best friend Ian, at the lodge. Notice Stevie's sun block. The wind was high and they could only ski 2 of the 4 days.

Rainy day


Today is the first time I have seriously worked at this blog site with my camera. Goodness it is very slow! I need to post about 10 pictues so I can get the pattern of how to do it in my mind.
