Life before 2008 17 Mar 2007 07:15 pm
2 miles of stairs.
We had a birthday party today; a gorgeous hike that involved a trail that was pretty much climbing stairs for 1000 feet for 2 miles and then 2 miles back joyously pounding down the trail. It was COLD but exhilarating. We munched on sub sandwiches, chips, and chocolate angel food cake; I think we would have happily devoured anything in site. But note to self: next year, if there is similar weather, plan a hot menu. It was a fabulous party-on-a-TMM-shoestring and while we’re deliriously tired, we’re also fantastically happy and invigorated. What is it about good friends, a beautiful day, and fresh air that can do that?

Andrew, I’m sorry I forgot to remember to say Happy Birthday this morning.
Anyway, may God grant you many many more blessed happy healthy years, and I hope I’ll be around to help you celebrate for at least a few of them!

Tia, I wanted to mention how sorry we were we didn’t make it to Andew’s party. I know he had specifically invited Joseph. We all had a stomach virus that was pretty vicious. (I ended up one day away from my doctors threat of the hospital) But we do have a little present for him.
Hugs to all of you and yours.
