[Njagdu] Snowshoeing

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Lynn.
I'm not really into winter either, but I think I might enjoy it more if I
could get outside and get some exercise.  Walking is not that much fun
with all the snow and ice.  I did some cross-country skiing when I was a
teenager, and I remember enjoying it.
I'd really like to find more outdoor activities.  Walking and gardening
are great in the summer, but it would be great to get out in the country
or the woods.

Ain't it funny, how dogs have to climb a snowdrift to do their stuff?
Tracy
