Connection

do you know what i struggle with?

connecting. connecting with people. i used to be able to connect with people. and was good at it. i could laugh, talk, entertain, enjoyed meeting new people, etc. you know connect. i could go deep, i could stay shallow. i could connect.

i can't anymore. am i too busy? selfish? tired? too old? uninteresting?

who knows?

it's too important though, to stop trying to connect with people. we need each other.

Jackson Hole

Our visit to Jackson Hole, WY was wonderful! We had so much fun getting away from it all. Elizabeth Anne had a blast and was so good. I got to see my brother who is living out there now - that was good. Went whitewater rafting down the Snake River, horseback riding up a mountain that overlooked Jackson, and drifted on an all day fly fishing trip down the South Fork where I caught 7 TROUT!! How about that for a vacation.

Here are some pics - I can't wait to go out again!

Marilyn's property that backs up to the national park.




Lauran and I on the horse trail - a 2 1/2 hour ride up the mountain.



Elizabeth Anne get's into the spirit of things..



Dinner at Snake River Grill - someone is loudly banging a fork on the table..



Elizabeth Anne hiking by Jenny Lake and the Tetons




Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera on my fishing trip. You will have to trust me on that. I really did catch those fish - I PROMISE! Our guide was with Jack Dennis Outfitters. The funny thing is that he was an AUB. Can you believe it? They are everywhere!

Can't wait to go back...
