Thanks to Rick, I now have a photo fo all of us on top of Minnas Ridge – all except Abby who was tied to a tree because we were having lunch and, as anyone who knows Abby is aware, if she were left loose, we would have lost every bit of lunch.

Aren’t we a lovely looking bunch?

And yes, it was indy and chilly at the top – but a lovely day and warm everywhere else.

Now – as for real life – I had a fight with a dear friend today. And I have very mixed feelings about it. I stand by the reason I am angry. At the same time, I certainly don’t want to lose this relationship over one argument. I sent an email expressing my feelings. I hope it is received in the spirit it was intended. At least I am at peace knowing that I have done what I feel is right.

Although I certainly was upset at the time. Its’ interesting how rare it is for me to have confrontations – I mean, very, very rare. I suppose that comes from living alone and for caring very much about peace and harmony.
