A beautiful day in Phoenix. We opted to take a hike on a small mountain. Calvin chose to walk up “Dodge Ball Canyon”, our son’s nickname for the more difficult of the two paths up Thunderbird Mountain. Oh well, if Rosemary and I don’t survive, at least we had a couple of good days with the family.
The temperature was ideal, the upper 70’s. The first portion was quite steep with loose rocks. Emmett and I brought up the rear. After a quarter of the way up he couldn’t climb any more. Soo, I carried him. At one point I didn’t think I had to worry about seeing the calendar flip to the 70 year mark. But, I made it up by handing off my precious package to his dad for the last few feet.
We tromped to the top while being spurred on by Calvin. The sky was bright blue, the air was clean, the view exhilarating, and the company wonderful. After that trek I think I’ll make it to the magic 70.
Later that day our oldest son, Uncle Walt, had to go home. At least we were given an extra piece of candy – the sight of him with his two nephews.
Today’s candy was not only enjoyable, being with the family, it was healthy.
Ciao
