Isn’t she beautiful?

This is Abby on the way to the trail – are we there yet mom?

Nah – more likely, “Do we have to do this?”

So we thought the trail would be snow free – it wasn’t – but we had fun and we shopped in Nakusp and then played silly games on the way home and then made some tough decisions with the help of our realtor.

We have to get this house up to occupancy. We can’t cut the corners. So, no trip to the island next month. We can’t spend that money. We have to put everything into this house so that we can get it sold and get our money back.

Tough decisions – but I think wise ones.

Whew!

I need to get out hiking.

And I need to finish the story I wrote today.

And that’s it right there – the answer for everything: hiking.

Oh yeah – and writing.
