Flying...

My DH is a paragliding addict and has participated in the sport since around the time it was invented. I am glad that it has helped him to make friends here in my hometown and due to this H was able to have an incredible flight with our friend Honza on the eve of his birthday

This is a great photo from their flight. It scares me to death but how can you not admit that the scenery during the flight must be spectacular.

Honza is a great pilot that does commercial tandem rides here in Sun Valley in the summertime. He participated in the X-Alps race last summer which is a race sponsored by Red Bull where the athletes cross the Alps by either Paragliding or on foot and ends up in Monaco. Honza came in 9th last year and hopes to better his record next year.

In Memory of my Father

My father passed away on July 23rd peacefully at nine in the morning. I knew it was going to be soon but it still has shocked me. You can never be totally ready for this kind of thing.

This picture was taken almost exactly 2 years ago when we were all in Sun Valley for my son's birthday:


Unfortunately, it was H's birthday that day too so somehow it just didn't seem as festive as usual. We will all miss him but are glad that he isn't suffering any longer.
