Return from Mt Rainier. Sunrise camping

Our latest Rainier trip. It was sensational. As usual. We had long talks to make up for a few days apart. Altho the years have been good to us. Even though Mike’s injuries have been substantial we have managed to go places and  experience a lot of enjoyable travels. I tok care of him after surgeries etc but I made sure he didn’t get ahead of himself. He died pretty much the same for me. 

Soon he’ll start back at the Gym and we will do more hiking and backpacking. 

 

Michael and I, together 4 ever..

         Snohomish years, The farm on 5 acres where we lived for years but were hardly ever there. Once Mike came home and found me siting in the pasture with May, the new pony sitting in my lap. He couldn't believe it. and we did it all the time, May just curled up in my lap. One day he said she would hurt me she was getting too big and he chased her away, and she never sat in my lap again.

               The Elwha where I made a moss bed to lie on..Favorite Places:::
Elwha, Lake Crescent Lodge, Lake Quinault Lodge, Mt. Baker, Mt.Rainier, so many places, we have been everywhere here 2 dozen times at least. Favorite beaches , mountains.. so many hikes and back pack trips.. he is such a loving and faithful partner. I still feel he's as smitten as first day we met....
