When I was a kid, Memorial Day weekend always
meant one thing: the first camping trip of the year. Sure, it could snow up
there in the mountains—and did, sometimes—but still, it was the unofficial
kick-off of summer.
I haven’t been a kid for a long time, but I still
had fun in the mountains today. I met up with son Zach’s girlfriend, Anna, for a snow-free hike and picnic. Due to the holiday weekend and gorgeous weather, the trail traffic was somewhat congested. I didn't count how many people and dogs we saw, but I do know that everyone looked quite happy to be there!
Zach was absent because he’s spending the
summer in Yemen, of all places, participating in a college- and state-sponsored
anthropology project. I e-mailed him this photo of his girlfriend and dog, just
in case he isn’t homesick!

prisoners with singing….” –PSALM 68:6
