Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) e.e.cummings


     Yesterday was our 40th wedding anniversary.  40 years....it boggles the mind where the time has gone.  We both agree that we still feel about 18, which age we were when we met. 
     We went out to a really nice vegan restaurant, compliments of our daughter, Kate.  In August we will celebrate with all of our kids and grandkids when Dean's chemo is well past, plus plan to take a trip together later this year.  Meanwhile, I am enjoying the four beautiful red roses from Dean.
       Dean did have another high fever of 104 on Sat. night;  the medical community still hasn't been able to determine the cause of these sporadic fevers of unknown origin, so it is probably chemo related.  It is hard to plan celebrations around them, though.  But he felt well again yesterday, so we took the opportunity to hike in nearby Roxborough State Park.
     Since moving to Colorado we have always loved to hike....our hobby.  We just haven't done enough of it the past couple of years, and hope to rectify that situation starting this year.

     By the time we thought of getting a picture of us together, we couldn't find any passers-by to take one.  We will next time.

"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous,  leading to the most amazing view.  May your mountains rise into and above the clouds."
