Hike at Paradise on August 1, 2011

Had a wonderful day with Bronka, Elaine and Carol on our hike at Paradise. I feel so blessed to have met so many of Bronka's wonderful friends and to go on hikes with them. Monday was such an exceptional day. The weather was so wonderful. We hiked up about a mile and decided just to sit and have lunch on some rocks and just visit. We visited with people who were hiking on the trail. There were many visitors from other countries, like Germany, Austria, as well as out of state.

Elaine volunteers for the park and she looked great in her uniform. It was fun visiting with her and Carol. They are fun to be with and all of us love Bronka's stories.

Bronka ran into her friends, Craig Van Hoy of Go Trek & Expeditions and Bonny. Craig was coming down with a group he had taken up on the mountain and summated. I think he said this was over his 200th summit climb. Wow!!! They guys Criag guided, looked a little tired and hungry, so that was what they were heading for, food! I remember every time we summated, we looked forward to a nice big meal.

Our day was great. After our hike we came back to Bronka's home. Her friend, Jim, had mowed her lawn and it looked great! Bronka's flowers are starting to bloom and her yard looks wonderful. She works so hard in it.

She has a bird house that swallows live in and it is so cute to see the two baby birds that live in it. They stick their little heads out waiting for mom and dad to bring them some food. Bronka said she loves to sit at her kitchen and watch them. She said that, that was their second family.
