Getting ready to hike Pt Bridget


Pt Bridget is a favorite trail of ours - the end reward is so spectaculor. This trip we are hiking out to Blue Mussell Cabin for the night. It's cloudy out, and a bit chilly, but the rain has stopped and we are heading out soon. As I am getting ready this morning a few thoughts come to mind:
- Who doesn' like Smartwool socks? They are a bit pricey, but so worth it.
- It is always important to have a full belly before hitting the trail. This morning it is pancakes
and sausage and hold onto your socks, I am cooking! I know, it's not rocket science, but it's
still me.
- Steven visiting has been good for us in so many ways. One of them is that we are getting out
and enjoying the beautiful cabins that AK State Parks offers. It has been wonderful.
- If you haven't been here yet, you should come. Bob and I love to show this place off. It has so
much to offer if you love God's canvas.
- Getting ready for little trips like this is bittersweet - I am reminded of all the joys of camping
with family and friends - it is so hard to be way from all of you. Our hearts are so full of love
for each and everyone.
- I am grateful to my mom that is rarely ever let us sleep in. I enjoy my mornings. The
peacefulness of it and how productive I can be. She is a wise women.
- My Camelback still taste like iodine - I think it's time for a new one and this one can just be
for "those kind" of hikes!
- I am looking forward to spending time with the "The Time Traveler's Wife".
Time to print our confirmation and head out. MJ

That's the book right - the movie isn't out yet - but saw the preview for it. Tell me how you like the book!

SmartWool rocks - but you haven't tried a pair of my socks yet either!

Molly cooks *passes out*

Has the invite been sent for a visit??? Mine must have gotten lost in the mail.... :)

Okay Sass-Ass - You know who you are - I have never tried a pair of your socks or one of your quilts - sounds like a winter project for you. Pass out is right - but sometimes it just has to be done. I have sent you many an invitation you always decline!
Book is so fantastic - am seeing the movie once Tristan has read the book. Just gave her my copy today.
