  1. hey Caleb and Luke, it's me....your other mama! I am finally joining the world and learning to blog, etc....Just in time to catch your stories and photos. LOVE the photos!!Except for the snake! I am most impressed with your dedication to this goal. What great memories. No big news here in M'ton. Oh, I did see a ghost from your past a couple of weeks ago. Forgot to tell Martin about it. Bumped into Nita Hughes,(sp) your middle school math teacher. She has retired and looks great. OK cuties, just wanted to say hello and send you a cyber hug. Hope to see you later in the summer.

  2. Haha, Luke I thought you were a gentleman, but threatening to punch a doe? I'm glad you're protecting our "man world" from those in "nature world." And Caleb, you had me trembling, you are fierce.
