:-)







I understand now, that boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention, if only one can first conceive of doing so. Moments like this, I can feel your heart beating as clearly as I feel my own, and I know that separation is an illusion. My life extends far beyond the limitations of me.

Had to put this down. This story made me feel so much happier about life.

Another Boat Trip ~

Woke up this morning to a text of "wanna go boating in an hour?"


....of course!

Pineview



Liz likes to keep warm.





Awesomeness.



The brooding sisters...hatching a plot of some sort of sabotaging nature.





Lesson #1 in the Hendricks family...Always keep your eye on Sid. He'll either pop out and scare you, or tip you over a boats edge into the water.






I'm flying Jack!!!

Hiking, house, Pop's Day, Grandma's yard....phew.

Lots of stuff. the photos of our yard are already out of date.



These are the before and after shots of when all the cement was piled up...and a few days later.



Now Mom and Dad are going through various bids on the driveway.

This photo is out of date. We had all but 6-7 logs chopped and put away. The next morning our neighbor surprised us by chopping the rest for us. How nice!


Great mulch job pop!  This is the north side of the garage. This is out of date too. we have some cardboard boxes piled here at the moment.


Planted these a 1 1/2 weeks ago. fast!

Pop, Jack and I mulched this bit.


No...more...room for ....wood.

Mom and I went on a hike. twas lovely.



At one point I went scaling a cliff, and my head got within 3 feet of a rattler before it started rattling like crazy. I had a jolt go through my body as I screamed and started scaling down quite quickly. iiiiiiieeeeeewwwwwwww.... That area is not featured in these photos.

Wild bamboo in the hills of Utah.

Blueberry Pie for Pop on Father's Day.


Sarah baked some delicious banana bread for the grandpas.


Jack is.....SO GOOD.....at being a creeper in photos. CREEPY CHILD!



Dad loved all of his gifts.  This one was hillarious. Tasha sent a gift card and a really cute card with stickers and such. At one point on the written card she wrote, "this card can be used anywhere".  Dad got this confused look on his face, and looked at the sticker card. "I can use this card anywhere?" he said.  Maybe a second later he figured she was talking about the gift card ha ha ha ha!


Took some photos of one of my favorite childhood playgrounds.















Hillary's card was a hoot.


And as usual, I had to remind Grandma of her dwindling days. What a lovely child I must have been.


I love this painting!
