Cowgirl Mishele


My friend Mishele is very awesome. Check out her sweet cowgirl gear. She is also my accountability partner. I can always count on her to be honest and truthful with me. Together we keep each other in line. The last time we met we went on a horse ride. This works nicely since her and her husband, Mio, are in charge of the Horse Program here at Echo Ranch. We were able to sneak upon a deer drinking water. As we were riding home a curious porcupine almost came nose to nose with the horse. This would have been a bit painful the the horse. It is always amazing to see the creatures God made in God's awesome creation.

Today I will get to go on yet another horse ride. But this time it will be with my parents and my brother. It would be amazing to see a nice bear!! It should be a great ride since it is not RAINING. This summer has been very, very rainy. Sunshine on your face is an amazing experience. Today is not what I could call sunny, but it is not raining, which is highly unusual! I'll take whatever weather I can get that has the absence of rain. But living in a rain forest, I should expect it to rain.

Dad & Mom are HERE!


My parents are up visiting from Ohio. So we have had a bit of fun here and there. My dad has been helping with various maintenance projects....including checking my car over. He has also spent some time woring on tractors. My mom has kept busy in the kitchen making yummy food for all of us to enjoy. Tasty. Today she made some chocolate cake. My mom has also been helping me make some sweet pillows for decoration. Way cool. Check out the picture of my mom & me. Some say I look like my Mom, while others say I look like my Dad. What do you think.

Dad and Mom are flying home with Caleb to the land of Ohio. We hope to get into the big town of Juneau and hike Perseverance Trail, check out the Mendenhall Glacier and just chill out together. It should be good fun exploring the state capital of Alaska.
