sheri - Sounds wonderful P. Wish I could join you for a glass of Pinot Grigio! Hey — off topic, but — I discovered this wonderful place on-line that I’ll assume you know because they have several locations in Michigan and (Illinois). Moosejaw is my new favorite place to go shopping! I just bot all my gear there at a 20% discount sale and saved nearly $200. They had everything on my pre-determined list! Tent, footprint, sleeping bag, pad, pack and rain cover. I already had my jetboil and steripen. I’m getting there! (Sorry to go on about me — I shoulda shot ya a private email!) Anyway, I’m still following you! You always inspire! Oh and — Happy 3rd summit anniversary!! (on Oct. 6th or 7th right?!) GA-ME!

Liz & Stephen – Wedding, Willow Harbor Vineyard (Part II)

Though it was clear to me that Liz and Stephen were special from the first time I met them, I knew it was even beyond what I had thought as I listened to them being toasted by friends and family. The people most special to them talked about what a great team they would make,...
