Devil's Staircase

Phil finally won out and got me on a hike and I must admit it was beautiful. Halfway up the trail, I sat down and said I refused to go any further so he tried to coax me by saying that it would be so beautiful up there and that I would love it once I got there. So, knowing psychology how I do, I yelled at him and said that I knew he was using psychology on me and that I wouldn't go another step. After all, on the steeper parts I could actually hear my heart pounding and thought I would perish any second.

But, after resting a little, I got up and pressed on with him. He was so right! It was absolutely gorgeous at the top and I'm so glad I went. When I got home, I had lost 3 lbs. Can you believe it? Here are some pictures of the big event. Thank you, Phil. You're awesome!

We've Entered the Blogging World

Hi, Everyone! Phil and I are new at this but have found it a great way to keep in touch with family and friends...so, here goes nothin'!

We have just welcomed a new little grandbaby into the family. Rachel Elizabeth Fossum entered the world all robust and healthy weighing in at 9 lbs. 7 oz. She is a beauty and lets herself be known when she wants something. In her dad John's words, "She has the loudest cry in the nursery."
