Questing Parson

This Cannot Be

Yesterday she was five years old and she and I were on our first Excellent Alaskan Adventure:

Today a professional photographer sent me this photo and insisted it's the same granddaughter.

OMG!

On The Way Home

The parson and his granddaughter are on their way home from their Amazing Alaska Adventure. Here's some pics of their adventures.

Exploring Denali National Park - this picture taken about fifty miles from any road.

We saw lots of moose

Looking for whales

There's one.

At Polychrome Pass in Denali National Park.

The eagle first landed on the driftwood she's holding. Then, seeing her hopped down to stand behind her for a good three or four minutes.

The Parson and Granddaughter at the summit of Mount Healy. She did it!!!

 
Sweet dreams.

Blogging resumes on the 20th.

 

 

 

We Make Do

Down here in the South we don't have snow sleds. But we do have 2x4s, plywood, and duct tape.

How I Celebrated My Birthday

Along with my faithful canine companion I headed to the very Northwest corner of Georgia wearing my hiking shoes and ready to test the legs now a year older. Our destination was Cloudland Canyon State Park.  (By the way Mark Winter of One Man Show the Deer Protector Lady said "Hello.")

  

Standing on the rim, looking northeast toward Chattanooga.

The little white mark near the center of the picture above is our destination.  

Halfway down the little white mark is a bit bigger.

Looking up toward where second picture was taken.

Almost at the bottom of the canyon.

Charlie Brown, faithful canine companion, ready to head to the top.  

What's Wrong With This Picture?

In the background is Independence Hall

where the Declaration of Independence

and the United States Constitution were

conceived and signed.

On the bench are two homeless men.

MY NEW GRANDDAUGHTER

Kylee Marie was born at 2:56 a.m. EST.
She weighed in at 7lbs, 5 oz.

Faith was overcome with joy as she watched the birth of her sister.







Hello, world, I'm Kylee. Move over.







Oh, wow! I've got a big sister!







Oh, double wow! I've got two big sisters!
