Just got back from a regional TE meeting here in Salt Lake. Lise is in the city for a work-related conference and of course! we had to get together since it seemed like we already knew so much about one another!
What a great time we had. I can now personally vouch for Lise's fabulous character.We had an early lunch at a "gourmet" deli close to my home, and then went for a walk in City Creek Canyon. It is a clear, sunny day with pleasant temps in the mid 60s.
It was so nice to meet up with another TE-er. Here is a picture that my hubby took before I had to redeposit Lise at her hotel. That's Lise on the left, me on the right, and the famous Yellow dog, Pika, in the front.

I was thinking it was such a bummer that Lise wasn't in SLC next weekend.

It's all true! And I just snuck out of our annual business meeting because I cannot sit still that long! Officially, I'm "in the bathroom" (shhhhhh!)
We had a great time. I was telling my pal Martha (the one we waved at out the window of yellow's SUV) about our lunch and hike, and about LRRH. I said, "Man, how I wish I could do it with them!" Martha said, "Ride 100 miles. In altitude. Next week.
?" Riiiiiightt..... Yeah! I could do it! (I'd be gasping by the side of the road. You could throw gatorade from your bikes to try to revive me. ) I do wish I could meet all of you. It was so fun getting together. It's like having cousins all over the world! I could've petted Pika for about 6 more hours (those of you who are dog-deprived, as I am, understand). This part of the country is so beautiful...hard to go back to Chicago.
Thank you again, yellow, for your hospitality and friendship. Husband, beasts, and home were all welcoming. They have the greatest hiking trail here for dogs and their people along a beautiful rushing creek. I loved the 14 or 15 rules posted at the trailhead, including something about puppies under 4 months probably shouldn't be on the trail. Awwwwwwwwww...that's right! They should be in snugglies!
OK, y'all, back to the business of midwifery! Looking forward to many more TE inter-regional meetings in the future! L.
ps: Notice how the flamingo got in the picture, too?

I was just pondering. Did Lise get to taste the chocolate before anyone else?
