twice in 1 week!


To foster inner awareness, introspection, and reasoning is more efficient than meditation and prayer. -Dalai Lama



well yesterday i had another great day. after work i had invited Marsha to go with me to the Petroglyphs on the westside of town.... i'm taking our hike group there next weekend....anyways, Marsha has us meet Diana so we can pick up Madison on the way. twice in a matter of a few days i have seen her. what a blast! well after picking up Sugar Plum, we headed to the Open Space visitor center where we saw this tree pictured here. it is all carved into many different critters. only a few photos here of it with Madison (&Marsha) photographed too. the tree is absolutely beautiful. there are a few more trees carved down the road a bit by the bosque. we didn't have time to go by there for Madison wore us out after we went to the Piedras Marcadas petroglyphs. i have sum photos of them too, but will post them in the next entry. that was a great visit there too with a concentrated area of the petroglyphs. i didn't even know that particular area existed, but Jim took us there after he got off work....so anyways, we hked awhile, then climb sum rocks-Madison too. she followed me up to where i could get photos. she's not afraid of anything. she just climbs her little heart out wherever we go. i carried her there which to my surprise with my achin' back, relieved a lot of the pain afterwards. i came home last night and noticed i just had a pinch of back pain and nothing more. a little sore this morn, but it feels like when you do a workout, not the previous pain. i feel great after spending more time with Madison. it was a wonderful day with a little football afterwards. now i'm ready to go sum more....
