fantastic view of the Escalante Grand Staircase and the surrounding area. Was neat until we reached a very steep and rocky ascent
near the top that promised views of the Petroglyphs and a cave entrance but I planted myself down to rest until the others returned.
Too risky and the elevation made it hard to breathe. Sound like an old person, I know, but preferred to spare the others having to
call in the medics. Ha. Brian and I enjoyed the view and the sun on our faces just taking in the scenery and the quiet.
Jen will be posting pics to her blog.
Since I have been here I have been enjoying Monday night "Tapping and Yoga classes" with Jennifer and her friend Char. They teach
back to back classes at the library. Would you believe that Char and her husband lived in Kalispell for a few years until the cold and long
winters got to them. She was a California girl so she was longing for sun and warm after Montana. She loved it but.................
Also, yesterday there was an additional passenger on our trek to the outback. Her name is Mary Burk (maiden name). A cute blond
that wowed us all. She was/is from St. Louis, her Dad was corporate lawyer for Union Electric. Anyway, we shared memories of favorite
restaurants and schools. Would you believe she went to St. Justin, the Martyr in Afton and used to play against the Seven Holy FLOUNDERS
as she recalled. Ha. Who knew the had a Volleyball team after we left. She was/is from Webster Groves and went to Cor Jesu Academy.
Had many friends at Ursuline Academy.
Anyway, nice gal who used to work for the St. Louis Zoo and now has been turning her attention to Best Friends. We really enjoyed meeting
her and having her along.
By the way, Best Friends got to ring the bell at the NYSE on the 23rd I think. The honor was bestowed on them as "Thought Leaders"as they
are opening an office in NYC this coming month. Daron will be making a few trips to the big city to get them set up as he is the Network
Engineer for Best Friends. Again, watch for the link on Jen's blog.
Well, the Andrews household has been busy listening to the sights and sounds of Addy's new XBOX, gifted to her by her Mom and Dad.
Last night Addy informed us that she was going to give her eyes a rest from MindCraft and the Lego game but this morning she relented and agonized over why she ever mentioned that she was giving it up for a day. Ha.
Take care everyone. Hope all your wishes are satisfied over the holiday.
Hugs,
Mary and the gang
