Ahhhh! The sun came out, and the great outdoors lured me outside and away from the claustrophopia of being pent up indoors for too many rainy days! I grabbed the mutt, hopped in the Explorer, and headed for the Rockerfeller State Park for a hike in the redwoods... brought my camera too, just in case new mushrooms were up to take photos of. After 35 minutes of driving, off we went into the forest. It seemed so dark and soggy in there, but the sun was out. It just wasn't getting down to the forest floor, so on and on we went looking for any spots of sunlight shafting through that might make for cool photography. After 2 and 1/2 miles, we got nothing! We turned around and headed back. That's when my nasty heelspur acted up, and it turned my hike into a tortuous ordeal the last 2 miles of walking! Dammitall!!! I just hate it when the spirit and the body decide to war! I look forward to getting that sucker surgically removed... then I'll be back in action again! Leaving you here with some funny truths. (I personally like ..5!) GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED: 1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree. 2) Wrinkles don't hurt. 3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts. 4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. 5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside. 6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
