A Winter Hike

Well, here it is - my first ever blog.

I am totally intimidated by all those really great blogs out there in cyberspace. However, I thought it might help me record memories, otherwise being left to chance since I can't seem to get them down on paper in a journal or into a scrapbook - even though I have MANY supplies. I also thought it might be a fun way to share our lives with family and friends who might be interested - or at least pretend to be:) But even if no one else ever reads any of these blogs, it will make me feel better just knowing I have done SOMETHING in the way of preserving these times that are special to us.



Big Dave - KING of the mountain!

Saturday was a great day for a hike on Rainbow Mountain - a cool, sunny, winter day. It's hard to believe we have this hiking trail right here in Madison. Someone had the great idea to bring our dog, Nike, along, which WOULD have been a great idea if only he hadn't gotten car sick - on the way there AND back!! It might have been understandable if it had been more than, say, 3 MILES round trip! AND we found out - you can lead a dog(???) to water but you can't make him drink.....
