Catching Up. Part 1

Did I fail to mention that we have our Internet back?  Oh yes we do.  After a “more than” a week long process, which involved a couple of annoyed – angry calls to the “Spirit of Service” Quest folk, we finally got our service restored.  Now if we can only get the couple of “why in the heck did you charge me for this” charges removed we will be happy once again with our service.

Life here on the “Ranch” has been moving and shaking.  White water rafting season is basically over for us, one more trip in the middle of September to go and we can give our wetsuits a final cleaning and put them away for the winter.  We had a great season of rafting, lots of odd and crazy adventures.  I had my “personal best” when I nearly pinned my raft against a very dangerous bridge pillar, instead I got it stuck on some rocks and had to have the paddlers step out on to shore until the raft was light enough to break free.  Trust me, exciting, scary and a lot of fun.  The whole season could be summed up with a phrase that one of our fellow rafting guides told me, “Wisdom comes from experience, and experience comes from bad choices.”

We had a wonderful time camping in Pacific City, Or.  Ryan is a camping man now.  He loves the tent.  He even took a couple of naps in it!  My brother-in-Law gave me my first Cast Iron Dutch Oven.  Yeah!  I will have loads of fun cooking stuff in this thing.
