Dear Family, Tomorrow is Lauren’s 22nd Birthday
Janell has been in Brazil all week visiting Ana, her friend from our Antarctica Cruise. Janell’s letter s have gotten shorter and shorter. Her last one was two sentences:
“Today, Ana and I went to the beach again. Then we meet one of Ana's friends and we went to find a turtle that I could buy but at that time there wasn't a band so the stores did not open so went home,”
I did figure out how to chat online with her one day for over an hour but haven’t remembered my password since. Old age.
I guess I will be filled in when she returns late Thursday night.
I took 6 cub scouts to Bridal veil falls where we walked on the paved walking trail picking up garbage. Each boy had a grocery bag and disposable gloves on the way up and their trail mix on the way down. They each had to bring 1 cup of something to add to a bowl to make the shared trail mix. It seems the M&M’s were the highlight and the rest went the way of all disgusting looking mixtures, in their home garbage cans. The highlight was using the 3 GPS’s. They liked sprinting, seeing how fast they were running for 20 seconds. I was very impressed with their sprints of 11 miles per hour. They ended the trip by wading in the shallow pools at the base of the waterfall and we went home. My threat kept the group together. “If I can’t see you, you will have to hold my hand for 5 minutes” brilliant success.
When Caleb was here he put a fender and collapsible baskets on my bike. I had to promise to ride it so I took my maiden voyage today. I dropped off cub scout books to my scouts and dropped a package to UPS. It was fun. I kept thinking of the witch on the “Wizard of OZ” riding her bike and hoping I didn’t look too much like her. Da-dum da dum da da dum. Love, Janae
