Mt Hood

This past Friday we had the awesome opportunity to summit Mt Hood which stands a bit over 11,000 feet in Oregon. It was a challenging but wonderful climb that we did with two other couples. All the husbands are mountaineers and we are greatful for the love and belief they had in us wives to make it to the summit! I had an injury the Tues. before and didn't realize that the metal object that had driven itself into my big toe while getting up from a chair was a needle. Well, part of the needle was still in my toe during the climb! Ouch! A TON of Ibuprofen is given credit to help me endure to the end! I told Jeff he can no longer say I am a "not tough" about things. I ended up at the ER on Sun. night having it removed. Just one more thing I must overcome before my swim from Alcatraz.
