sorry...

it's been absolutely forever since i wrote on here. so much has been going on!

last post i was training for the avon walk: 39 miles in 2 days. well...turns out that i didn't raise enough cashola to actually participate in the walk. i needed to raise $1,800 & i fell short (way short - no reference to my height here people).

i didn't get to do the "official" walk but since i trained then i thought i would do some of it. june 23 i laced up my shoes & walked 22 miles on trails here in the Springs. that same day the Waldo Canyon Fire broke out - i had considered walking trails in the canyon, thankful now that i didn't.

here is a pic from a few days after it started. the most destructive fire colorado has ever seen and it took 2 weeks to put it out.







hmmm...what else? lots of fun summery type things. camping, swimming, playing, you know...the usual :-)

all in all we are well & enjoying the last bit of summer - get out & enjoy yours too!
