A Day in the Life of A City

I'm sorry I deserted you all.

But I had a marvelous time.

What I did for that long period of time where I wasn't at home, and I wasn't musing over what to write here, I was up at a retreat. Besides having wonderful oportunities to council a few girls, I did experience many other wonderful things. The coolest one of all, literally, was a trip to Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, as you might have guessed, has some water located in it, in the form of a river. The river is pretty cool, temperature wise and look wise. What is really fun is wading in it. The water will come up pretty high, depending on were you wade. I skirt the outside of it so that it wouldn't get much higher than my waist. Trying to cross a river without getting much deaper is kinda hard.

But I succeeded.

In the process, I banged up my toes and bruised my feet, to the point that it was painful to walk later that evening. But it was worth it.In the middle of the river is a huge rock. We found this most valuable for sitting on and drying off on if you got your clothes wet. It was also fun to try to climb on the rocks without falling into the water.

I am proud of myself. I kept my clothes pretty dry and I did NOT fall in.

Others did. I didn't.

Thanks to all of you that made that trip special, for wading across the river, slicing apples and bringing that yummy carmel-ish stuff we dipped the apples in.
