I love your idea for a post listing all of your memories and related posts. It’s a great way for new readers like me to catch up on what you’ve been up to. You’ve done some amazing stuff.

Congratulations for 3 years on the road!! Three candles. I remember when you had 3 candles on a birthday cake, a photo some where will verify that.

Mom and I could not hold up our candles for our 50th as we would probably need the local fire department here for protection. How did we stand each other for so long?? I think that we both decided independently and without saying it to each other that: we would NOT let NOT getting along be an option. Here we are at this time and still have that plan.

That’s too bad about Kilimanjaro. I would have to substitute my decision not to try for Annapurna Base Camp due to “exhaustion” and while not quite so high, it took a long time for me to get over that experience (and not deeming it a “failure” to be specific). Good learning experience!
