Back from "The Valley"

We got back from our trip to Death Valley on Sunday and have been busy with family, Girl Scouts, PTA newsletter, etc. I’ve posted the latest e-mails by Airasa, Linda and Graham. I’m encouraged on Graham’s progress. I’m glad he is getting to know other patients at Pinderfields. We are hoping and praying for you ol’ comrade and your recovery!

I’ll post some pictures of our family trip. We had a wonderful time visiting the Valley. It was raining and slow getting out of Orange County. The freeway was dreadful. Once we passed the Cajon Pass the traffic was light. We had rain on and off until we drove down into Death Valley. Badwater (elevation –292 feet below sea level) had some water and looked much like a lake. There was some snow on Telescope Peak (elevation 11,000 feet above sea level!). We drove to Ashford Mill, an abandoned gold mill. The wildflowers were fantastic! The girls ran around and had a blast visiting the ruins.

The latest from Cassini is Saturn's rings have ice water! The latest on Mars is out of 250 scientists, 75% believed there was life on Mars, the other 25% believe life is there right now! ESA wants to send antoher probe to Mars next year to collect samples. Power to them!

SITP!
