Twenty Years Ago

Mark, Me and Jason - Bark Lake, Ontario, Canada - August 1991

Twenty years ago this month, I attended Bark Lake Outdoor Leadership Camp. I had a great time, I learned so much about myself, others and life in general. The above image is of myself with two of my camp mates, Mark on the left and Jason on the right. Jason was and is an incredible individual, he and I met and became friends at camp and have never seen each other face to face since. The great thing is, he and I have kept in touch over the years through letter writing and it is something that continues to amaze me and I look at as a true gift. These past few months we have corresponded a bit more than usual because of this milestone. It is always such a treat to find a letter in the mailbox from Jason, the familiarity of his handwriting on the envelope and then the words written or typed on the pages, they continue our ongoing conversation. Letter writing is rare these days and I myself don't write as often as I would like, letters are a captured instance in one's life. I was reminded of this when Jason sent a card last month wishing Scott and I a happy anniversary, along with a copy of a letter I had written eight years ago to tell Jason about the wedding. It was as though I was transported back in time, what a treasure, like a snapshot in words of my life at that particular moment in time.
Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy the journey.

Rain!!!

It finally rained - Georgetown, Texas - 14 August 2011

It finally rained yesterday late in the day!!! What a relief it was and the rain felt so good, we stood out and were nearly soaked before we headed back in the house. We need more but are so thankful for the down pour yesterday.  This past week Scott had an unexpected break from work, so we spent some time together, what a joy it was. Today he has his first day with EA - Electronic Arts, he is pretty excited about it and I am so proud of him. Wishing each of you a wonder filled week. Enjoy the journey.
