We are in yosemite now. Flyguy is doing the cable route up half dome today. It’s a 12 hour roundtrip hike with the last 475 feet holding on to cables because the rock face is so steep. It’s a charity climb. He started at 3:30 this morning. I’m proud of him. We hiked a few trails as a family yesterday. LL and I will explore yosemite while flyguy is conquring the rock.

A few days ago we were in San francisco. I spent time with an old friend. She’s the keeper of my secrets from way back when. She met LL for the first time and it completed something for me. It was hard to say goodbye, so we said “see you soon.” Sometimes, when the past and present collide, the future seems bigger with the addition of Past. Twice this summer I’ve gotten to see and hug two dear friends from the past. We live too far away to meet for coffee, but I take them with me where ever I go.
