The other morning I went on a hike at a state park. It feels so good to be in an expanse of nature and yet so close to town. Towards the end of my hike I took notice of my boots. They are very comfortable and scuffed. I bought these hiking boots in 2000 before I went on the Grand Canyon trip. My first opportunity to view the canyon and I was able to totally experience it by hiking all the way to the bottom, camping for a few nights, hearing the raging Colorado River, and hiking to the top. It was a physically stretching journey, but exhilarating.

Today as I was zipping around town I spotted a vintage truck for sale. My eyes are drawn to old trucks and old VW bug's. They don't need to be spotlessly refurbished, just in decent shape. I wonder if a pickup truck will be in my future? Someday we hope to live in the country, out amidst farm fields. Maybe I'll need to get a pickup to handle some of the chores...

Rachel is 40 today! To mark this special year we did a small overnight trip in Manito- woc. Rach loves to ride bikes, so we planned to do some leisurely biking together (6 of us). The weather was drizzling and cold the first day, but that wouldn't stop a diehard like Rachel...she and Dad zoomed off for 45 minutes in the rain. She's already done many week-long biking trips in her life, and now a new road bike will give her some extra speed for those long endurance days.
Rachel is a good friend. Because she was my older sister, I couldn't help but look up to her, and she was a wonderful example for me. We have many things in common, and that's a good start to having a great pal! She actively listens and cares about what you're saying. She is kind-hearted and patient. God uses those skills in her job as a High School counselor.
A big round of applause for my lovely sister! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!
