Hello Family,
It's been quite a time since I've written anything here, all to spare you from more junk.
Anyway, it's been an unbelievable first half of 2018....skiing in Aspen and Winter Park of course, couple of trips back to Kansas including the reunion with Addie, successful turkey hunt with my cousins, Jim Shepherd bought his little winter home on a nice golf course here in Tucson, a wonderful summer week in Winter Park, a fun week in Carlsbad CA with Ash/Erica-Jeff and kids, and some time at the ranch.
A "best vacation ever" was had with Inger in France when Lynn and I met up with Inger in Paris, drove down to Blois (on the beautiful Loire River) and took a week long horse ride down the Loire Valley sampling crazy good food, great wines, great horses, and of course the chateaus along the way. The next week was spent in Paris and what a fun time that was.
Had that little incident with the Bonanza in late May but it's all good again and we are back in the air gaining more confidence every flight!
Anyway, Lynn and I tomorrow leave for an adventure in Panama.....we will be in the city of Panama for a day or two, then we leave for an adventure in the jungle in a little jungle village, then back to Panama City, then to a private yacht for several days sailing out among the San Blas Islands. We'll be with a bunch of Los Charros friends, one who's uncle owns the yacht (he is a past president of Panama...). Sounds like fun, eh? We'll have a good crew and cooking staff too.
We will out of contact of all wi-fi and cell when in the back country and at sea so if anyone is looking for us and we can't get back to you, that's where we are. We will be back in contact around the 9th of September.
Bon voyage,
Love to all, Dad/UR
