High School Football

Last night we watched our grandson play varsity football. He started for the first time and it was awesome to watch his enthusiasm. It was a very close game that came down to the last drive.

Apple Orchard

Today we made our annual pilgrimage to the apple orchard. I love Honeycrisp apples and this orchard has the best. They even let you sample them as you are picking.

Suspension Bridges

While trekking in Nepal we frequently had to cross suspension bridges. I confess that I did not like walking across these bridges. Most were carefully constructed and structurally sound, at least by my nonscientific evaluation. That didn’t matter, I still didn’t want to walk on them. I remember one bridge, in particular.
