Dear Grandma,

I am happy to hear that your surgery went well and that you are feeling better, I'm sure you will be up and about in no time.  The snowboard trip went great!  Thank you for your help with the lift tickets it allow us to stay up there an extra day and the conditions were perfect and you can see for yourself.

I may have gotten slightly lost in the woods on a later run, but it was a lot of fun boarding through the wooded areas.

I did meet up with the rest of the group at the top of the next run.  Even though I now knew a safe way down I couldn't convince them to try my hidden forest path.

The drive home was long and my brother keep playing "music" by Wesley Willis but at least we had some good views as we were going home.

Now I know you missed the orchid show this year so I thought you might like this.

I'll see you next month when I'm in town, and get ready to party because someone told me it might be someones birthday on the 15th!

Love, Matthew
