Funny How Life Works

Allow me to introduce the newest member of the family.
This little monster is Sean!
Almost one year old and you could not find more proud Grandparents.
We were not ready for this at 51 and 49 years old but we are having more fun than should be legal!

This last year has  brought many trials and changes.

Sean has been the consistant bright spot. Always wth a smile , always with a laugh or the discovery of something new.

I can't wait to see what comes next.

Waffle House is the Bomb

If we ran the Fed Gov/Stae Gov like this we would be in High Cotton.

Just do a Google search for Waffle House and Hurricane.




You will be amazed.

John Muir Trail

Once again Miss Mari simply amazes me.

The intrepid Swiss Girl started from Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite on the 17th of August.
Solo.
101 miles later having endured massive swarms of mosquitoes, nightly bears in camp in search of easy goodies,
( Nothing here for you Ursidae, move along.)
A night where a strange dude left her with her knife taped to her hand all night and a host of other adventures there is absolutely no sign of quit in this girl.

I had gone to Vermillion Resort at Edison Lake to resupply her with food at the apx. half way point fully prepared to salve her wounds and offer polite condolences.


"I know its a little harder than it looks on the map. I've quit more than once because I was in over my head. There is no disgrace in just doing half." etc.....


Not a chance.

This girl showed Friday eve , a little scrapped up, sunburned and smiling from ear to ear.

I should have known better.

This is singly one of the toughest humans I have ever met.

I know stronger people .

I know faster people.

I know people with more knowledge.

I don't know anyone with such a single minded determination .


No Bullshit here folks, give me the choice of who I want in the foxhole with me and the choice is obvious.

I really wish I was with her.......

Investing

This will be short.

Silver@ $46.77.

Have a great Easter.

Neglect

Over two months .
A great holiday season complete with all the trimmings.
I need to pull a more concise recap together.
Later.
