Zipling in North Carolina 2011

Sorry, I have been lax in posting recently, but time flies by without realizing how long it has been since updating.

Don and I had the opportunity to try our hand at ziplining in October. If you have never done it, I would highly recommend getting out there and let 'er rip, I mean ZIP. We actually used a company that has received reviews of being one of the top ziplines in the country, as a matter of fact, in the top ten.

Don joined me on a conference and we had a day to do some recreational team activities, the group we joined was a great bunch of folks from up and down the eastern coast.

Here is a preview at some of the great times we had. Our longest zip was 800 yards, highest above ground 120', YIKES!

And did I mention the great swinging bridges and waterfall, it was absolutely beautiful, 8 different zips in all. Enjoy!

Christmas 2011

Another great Christmas has come and gone. I always love spending time with family and friends, while giving thought about those no longer here to help celebrate. I am very thankful for all of these joys in my life. Hope you enjoy some of my greatest treasures, including the end of the day, almost dark of the moon sunset, with my BFF, Papa Don and a nice glass of vino.

Somehow, our oldest son, Nathan, avoided the shutter this Christmas. I will do much better next year at getting him from behind the camera and out in front. And kids, you can thank me later for the flattering photos.
