About Those Friends (October 9 - 15)

Dear Family and Friends,

Sunday morning was a great hike for Bear and me with Sandy, Jeff and their dog, Emma. Roger was in Wichita, Kansas, at his high school reunion. Sandy, Jeff and I drove to Mount Lemmon and hiked from Molino Basin to Prison Camp (yes, there was a prison there at one time). Tucson has had a wet September, so things really look green for a low desert area. While on the trail we had several off road cyclists pass us. Bear and Emma had so much fun hiking this trail, as did the human parents.

Bear and I picked Roger up from the airport on Sunday afternoon and got to hear all about his 45th high school reunion. The principal gave the attendees a tour of the school and then did a question, answer session. Roger was amazed to see the changes at East High. He had a great time seeing old friends.


Roger left for work on Monday morning. As mentioned in previous blogs, we are in Tucson so that he can fulfill his commitment to Michael in quarterly reviews for their business.

Sandy, Annette and I did an early morning bike ride around Sahuaro Park East on Monday morning.. We love being off of the streets and riding in such a beautiful area. Again, everything looks so green because of the wet September. This is so unusual for October. We rode again on Thursday out to Pistol Hill. The ride was a 40 miler for me, by the time I got back to the base.

This is a very short blog. Please know that Roger has been working hard while I have been playing hard. Thank you for reading the blog and I will post again next week.
