Me, if I had said that, it'd become one of the bitch-most blogs I've ever done...so I don't even GO THERE on the "losing ones self" somewhere in 36 feet of water line. For a girl my size (and being fiesty to boot, you'd think that was nearly impossible)...but my point WAS...that yes, you had a good life before, you'll bring so much to the re-entry of life now and you will...I know, just thrive. AND I have to say, you always handled the boat and being on the boat and everything that entails (and it entails a lot, especially with kids) with such grace and always with a smile. You're good attitude shines and is something I fondly remember about you. As for Michael, so he doesn't feel left out, when I want to smile, I just recall him pool side in La Cruz with that last-minute read How To Save Your Ass At Sea and he was alas, napping with the book on his bare belly. Priceless. You both are.

Glad you are enjoying each and ...So well said Barb. Glad you are enjoying each and every moment out there - the hiking looks amazing - and here is some good news for you - California has the most amazing hiking opportunities! We have kept up with our love of hiking since returning, which is something we never did much of before we left. We are heading to Big Sur for the holidays even - to hike...The re-entry, for me, was like seeing things for the first time again - priceless! There is so much beauty - right here - as you will see soon! <br />Stay in touch - love to you all - the former crew of SantoshaPatrick, Tammy & Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778599134232480575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620301312037642296.post-6410272075829329942011-12-16T14:50:13.792-08:002011-12-16T14:50:13.792-08:00Oh!!

But will be excited to see you guys when you return. Can't wait to say 'hi' in person.Ken Oestreichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530514227192850735noreply@blogger.com
