Beneath the Wings: Every Stone and Mosquito

Every Stone and Mosquito

Ricki has been a grudging participant up to now in our hikes. I suspect that Ricki considers every stone in the pathway and every mosquito that has bit her as personally being "out to get" her. She oinly sees the difficulty of the climb, and doesn't see (or desire to see) the health benefits. She DOES enjoy the grand views, but she has already declared that she is ready to "go home" and "no climbing tomarrow".

Anonymous said...: It's good that she enjoys the views. A lot of young people wouldn't appreciate that. Now that I rarely travel, I wish I had the opportunity to see those views. When we were returning from a day trip last summer, I insisted that we stop at the "scenic overlook." And that's just New Jersey; I doubt it can compare to the Rockies.; August 14, 2009 at 6:11 AM

A description of this blog

This blog is basically a diary, journal, and notes of observations. In the past it dealt mostly with the topics of special needs, especially a real view of what life is like with (and for) a teen with Down syndrome. However, since Ricki's death in August 2012, at age 17, the amount of blogging on the subject of "special needs" has decreased. Additional topics are interpersonal relationships, life in Israel, and dieting. (I have lost 75 kilos...)(And no, I did NOT have weight-loss surgery....) Also an occasional get-on-a-soapbox-and-tell-it-like-it-is personal opinion.
