Repeat hike

 What I find when I reach the top

 Pushing the boundaries of ledge sitting

 "We could kill a vampire with this."

Nick meets his first John Deere logging equipment

Three years and we chose to hike Chinidere again. It takes 2 hours to get to the trailhead but it is a beautiful Gorge drive and we went on the Express trail this time. It is steep climbing the entire time. After an hour of heavy breathing we both agree we like the blood pumping . . . until we don't. I say nice things to myself as Nick walks ahead of me and I get solo time. No one was on the top when we arrived. That never happens and I loved it.

He is playing games with Men Friends for the first time in a few months. I wax, do laundry, bake cookies, have Buffy "Hush" queued up to watch. I love today. And as I learned in my devotion this morning, God loves it with me.
