Austyn called last evening...

and he and Mom and Dad are back home, resting, settling in as he called it last evening.... He was happy to be home and he said he was a new Junior Ranger... we will hear more from them on this later, I bet. I am really looking forward to hearing about it. Phil and I went to Estes to stay with Lawson Smith and his wife when Phil was only two or three... and he and Lawson's son played in the spring fed creek below the cabin where we fished for trout... Lawson's dad was Minister at the Methodist Church in Stillwater for many years... and Lawson and Melinda were friends of ours... Last we knew, Lawson was head of the art dept at Sycaruse University... he loved kinitic art in those days and made a lot of cool art, as I remember... sigh... age is working it's magic... haha...
