Norm & Gus/ armbike ride with Steve

we had a family weekend with sister Michelle and my nephew scott in town and my brother Norm...I wish I got pictures of michelle and scott but it was so quick our time together. short but sweet......Got the camera out this afternoon with Norm and his buddy Gus... Gus has a hard time resisting beer. (they have a lot in common).. Steve and I finally got out for an armbike ride. It was cool and windy but seemed as beautiful as ever..... said good bye to Norm after a beer downtown.....Thanks for all your hard work Norm.....look forward to the whole Kinscher clan getting together in WI in July.....

good life

moving forward. Steve continues to improve - in strength- ready to start our life adventures- hanging out at home today trying to be mello and recover from getting my tubes tied... It is hard for me to sit still... feeling quiet well this evening.. I could learn a thing or two from our critters on how to relax in the middle of the afternoon......

no wind - went boating

what a beautiful saturday.....not one bite, but a perfect day for kayaking. We sure like our boat............saw some big Ospreys and their nests. saw a few people fishing but mainly just enjoyed the peace. I have been also getting some great mt bike rides in when I can here in Flag. weany walk and upper brook band trails were perfect before this last storm.... get it while you can......off for an early morning ride and a shift in the ER for sunday....

enjoying beautiful weather

old friends came to visit for the day. great to see one of my best friends from college - Kristan and her family. such a good day. no matter how much time passes , true friends never loose a beat when reconnected. I am lucky to have those relationships in my life.

cont' from previous post - what a great trip only 2 hours away

there is something about RED DIRT/ROCK

what a great.........trip. started off with a great night at the cliff dwellers lodge - excellent food/beer. met 3 nice folks from Tucson talked through our delicious food and beer. woke up in the morning to good weather. headed to Lees Ferry to put our kayak together with camping gear. Wow that is hard work paddling up stream against the mighty colorado river- OUCH...... a couple of times in two different areas we got spit back down stream and had to really look at the river for the possible route we could do. Gosh it was hard work and soooooooo much fun. we then got to 6 mile camp and we were ready to take a rest. steve did great manuvering out of the boat through rocks and up to camp....... it was summer weather just beautiful......I tried fishing for a few hours no luck. then a easy beautiful float down stream back to the car the next day. a successfull first camp/kayaking trip for us. Loved it.......thanks to our good friends for watching our critters/home so we can do these adventures.......
