How many times has Kara come along to B-ridge on skis?
ReplyDeleteKara has been there quite a often, but not so much recently. She is blessed with a ton of natural endurance which is a blessing and a curse. It comes so easily that she is quickly bored, whereas with me I have to work for everything so somehow it holds my attentions longer.
