July 7, 2010, Georgetown, CO; elev. 8600’
12:03:20, hours MDT
...continued hiker’s journal…
Cloudiness in and out…seems unsettled out here. If my mom’s mom were alive; today is her birthday and she would be 117 y.o.
Usual walk w/ Ellie up to High Gate and over to Lebanon mine and back. Clear Creek is slowing way down…threw the stick in three places for her… She loves the water!
Received the following via email, enjoy!
The conductor of the orchestra is Andre Rieu from Holland. The young lady, her trumpet and her rendition of TAPS makes your hair stand on end.Many of you may never have heard taps played in its entirety, for all of the men & women that have died for you to have the freedom you have in America. This is an opportunity you won't want to miss and I guarantee you'll never forget. Amazingly beautiful.
Melissa Venema, age 13, is the trumpet soloist. Here is Taps played in its entirety. The Original version of Taps was called Last Post, and was written by Daniel Butterfield in 1801. It was rather lengthy and formal, as you will hear in this clip, so in 1862 it was shortened to 24 notes and re-named Taps on a trumpet whereby the original was played on a bugle. Enjoy!

Raining now and guess what? The wildflowers are changing guard w/ the passing of this brief high altitude summer. Thundering too… oh how I love the elements at this elevation.
Oh, and remember to Enjoy your-self. After all the shopping and coffee sipping and driving and cell-phone yakking it is really all you have left to do…is not the self…your-self worthwhile enough to enjoy? Who inhabits your-real-self under the skin? Enjoy yourself…Remember Rule 62―>> don’t take yourself so seriously… Smiles to you and yours.
