A Quiet 24th

Jim and I decided to have a quiet 24th of July. We fixed a chicken pasta salad the day before. (It has to be the day before so that the red onions can begin to work.) Then that morning we took a hike to Donut Falls. Now I know that many would think, "What a woosy hike!" Not for me. I was grateful for the bottles of water and my dried bananas. Anyway, it was wonderful to be outside. There were still some wildflowers around. Jim was remembering Fathers and Sons campouts where Brad and his friends would make the hike from the Spruces 2-3 or more times in a day. Brad's comment on the memory was, "Wish I had the energy that I did when we were doing that!" Jim and I took our camera, but forgot to take any pictures so here is one from the internet.
