Yep, Josee and I took off on another adventure. This time down the Boardman River, one of my favorite paddles. Well, I can say, I’ve had better ideas. Out on a lake, she’s calm and looks around, sometimes gets excited if she sees a bird. But on the river–yikes!–whenever there was a rock or branch poking up, she had to investigate. If a bird flew by, oh my! Then there were the mallards that swam in front of us for at least a half mile. I thought she was going to dump us for sure. Alas, I made it to the end with dry clothes. I want to say it was due to my expert paddling skills, but honestly, it was pure luck!

Someone asked recently, what would you like on your tombstone? In other words, what is your legacy? I immediately answered: She helped the animals of this world. Since I was a young child, I’ve loved all critters. My eyes would light with delight whenever we saw wildlife. My mom even describes my life in terms of animal phases. My bedroom was redecorated many times. I’ll never forget the giant frog she sewed to my bedspread. Then there was the giraffe stage. Dolphins and bears still remain at the top of the list for me. There is something so special about them.
