Beautiful

Your pictures are beautiful, Mema. Makes me miss the mountains at home--all that grey limestone, the Ponderosas...lots of memories of camping and hiking trips.

Speaking of hiking: How was Bryce Canyon, Mema? Who came? Did you get some good pictures?

And speaking of camping: Good land, Mother-of-mine! Camping is SO MUCH WORK for the mommy of the family. We went camping on Friday (down at Goblin Valley), and I spent probably four-five hours on Friday getting everything ready. And then the aftermath of putting everything away, dealing with overtired children, dirt EVERYWHERE...wow. I take my hat off to you, for taking us camping as often as you did.

We did have a wonderful time, though. I'm pretty sure it was worth it.
