The American Alps

Hwy 20 is a gem ! But it is good to be home!

Giddy-Up Giddy-up on the trail!

Actually, a little late in posting.... We went horseback riding and had a blast... Wiggy, Marvin and Apache were our escorts. The area here is full of fall color and being on the horses in the midst of it all was so awesome! Course, today, our joints at that end of our body are a little sore. Was way fun and a great way to see the scenery up close. We got off, and you see the results!

What a spectacular morning! Look at the Bucks!

7:45 this morning.... up and walking for pictures.... It's spectacular here.... so clear, crisp and colors.... even the deers.... I spent about 30 minutes with them.... froze my butt (and fingers off)

The Sisters are on their way to Sun Mountain Lodge

Well, we are off.... This morning the rain is quite steady here in Tacoma so we'll have a soggy journey across the North Cascades Highway.... Hopefully as the day progresses it will calm down. Will fill you in on the trip as possible....

We have arrived..... great trip through the pass.... even had it snowing at the top. The resort is beautiful.... got here late in the afternoon; can't wait to see it tomorrow... spose to be a really clear day... we shall see. Oh, btw, we saw lots and lots of deer once we got to Winthrop (for you hunters, sorry, we saw no bucks!)

later

What happen to the Edina Mill Bridge?

Well, we've been to Costco... Life is complete... H spent over $250 on supplies and stuff... And we didn't even get everything on her list! Earlier Saturday morning, Jer and I attended the GLC Parents meeting. Sure is nice to be with folks who have the same situations with their young adults.... It's the old "walk a mile in my shoes."

As for what's going on today, well, we went to church at CPC and on the way passed the Edina Mill Bridge... That's one of the bridges in the pictures to the right. They're doing some kind of construction on it. It's now shut down, blocked and looks to be shored up. I think after 35W collasped, all the bridges in Minneapolis have been given the once over. They have alot being rebuilt, fixed or ? Pretty interesting.

This evening we see Phil and Tina for dinner. We've always enjoyed having them along! Lots of laughing. I'm off now... lots to do....

Fall in Minneapolis

Some color is coming in the leaves of the trees.... Great, clear sunny day, temp about 60-65 and brisk breeze.... Gee I sound like a weather report. Jer had his board meeting today and I did some window shopping and finished my Stephanie Plum book.

This evening Halley and Dan brought two new GLC members along for dinner at Macaroni Grill... Ann and Carey.... Very nice young ladies..... Asked Dan how he felt about all the estrogen hanging around him.... he laughed and said it was rough! Of course I love Ann, she said I didn't look my age at all when Jerry told her how old I was.... I'm not posting my age, so don't look for it here....

Parasailing on the Puget Sound

What a way to spend a Saturday Afternoon on the Puget Sound.... Megan and I didn't go up, but Jillian and her dad did and it looked fun!!!!
