I had a good work day and I managed to spend some good time with my family. Today is Diane and my 23rd wedding anniversary.. Hard to\u00a0 believe it&#8217;s been that long.. but we&#8217;re both very grateful. I&#8217;m so happy to have Diane as the love of my life.. We took a nice short hike up robbins as a late lunch break during my work day today.. the dogs were with us.. It was great being out in hte woods. The blackberry&#8217;s were ripe and abundent as was the sunshine. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug3109\/aug3109015.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug3109\/aug3109002.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug3109\/aug3109005.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Totally coincidentally, we ran into our friend dan in the woods on Robins mountain. .. he&#8217;s working on\u00a0 some completely natural sourdough bread starter. He was up to check his yeast &#8216;traps&#8217; <\/p>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug3109\/aug3109006.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Dan was kind enough to take this picture of us on our anniversary walk. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug3109\/aug3109009.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">We took a short break on the cliffs overlooking our valley, placed a SamStone and headed home. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug3109\/aug3109010.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug3109\/aug3109012.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">After work.

It&#8217;s a very cool story that sprung out of some &#8216;imaginary<br \/>\u00a0conversations that Tim&#8217;s daughter Marie was having with invisible friends when she was a baby. I really like the story.. check it out.. it&#8217;s available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmFtYXpvbi5jb20vRGVtaWVzLVRpbS1LZW5uZXkvZHAvMTQ0MjE0NTkxOS9yZWY9c3JfMV8xP2llPVVURjgmcz1ib29rcyZxaWQ9MTI1MTc4MTkwNyZzcj04LTE=\">Amazon<\/a>. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug3109\/demies.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">After the round church, Diane, Gabe and I stipped by the middle school to visit the end of summer picnic that Gabe&#8217;s new teachers were having.. they seem cool.. then we visited Pine Ridge, the place where Diane and I had our wedding party. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/aug3109\/aug3109026.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Here&#8217;s a picture from that day in 1986..
