Janet takes the picture. They head to the bunny slope to get Bette warmed up before trying one of the bigger hills. Bette does a few maneuvers at the base to get her legs back then they hop the lift to the top of the bunny hill. Once she starts skiing it all comes back to her.

Jen: How long has it been since you’ve been on skis?

Bette: Maybe 5 or 6 years?

Janet: Wow that was amazing. I don’t move like that and we ski every winter.

Bette: Well, we’ll see how I do as the day goes along. Pick a slope, I’m ready now.

They head to an intermediate slope and all have a great time coming down. Bette really was a good skier and having a great time on the slopes. They ski for a few hours and decide its time for a break, hot chocolate and some lunch in the Lodge. Jen sends a text to Brent he indicates they are in the bar watching an NFL game. Janet suggests they just leave them be and the girls get a table in the restaurant for lunch. She sends Tom a text indicating they are having a girls lunch. He sends back a smiley with a wide grin.

Janet: Ladies it seems our guys are fine watching the game, drinking beer and no doubt slamming burgers. So we can have a more refined meal.

Bette: Well I think I need a hot chocolate, no alcohol if we are heading back out there.

Jen: I’m a lightweight too, no way can I have a drink and ski again too.

Janet: Hot chocolate works for me too.

Bette: How is the chili here?

Jen: Fabulous as is the chowder.

Bette: Oh I wasn’t even thinking chowder in New England, thanks.

Janet: I like the chowder and half sandwich combo. Think I’ll get the turkey sandwich.

Bette: I want a bowl of chowder, Jen do you want to split a sandwich with me?

Jen: Sure, I want a bowl of chowder too. What sandwich are you thinking.

Bette: The veggie?

Jen: Perfect as I was going to get a side salad anyway.

Janet: It is perfect ‘cause the sandwich comes with fries and fries are community property.
