While Annie was climbing Mount Rainier yesterday, I was keeping my ear close to the phone and my finger on the camera. We picked berries, walked through the woods, initiated new folks into the Lodgepole Society and enjoyed a generally good time of visiting.
Later, as we began to dine at the Blue Heron Cafe aka Samuels Store (highly recommended, by the way), my cell phone finally rang and Annie's name popped into the window.
She was driving down the freeway, headed for a geocaching event south of Portland. We couldn't talk long because of her cell phone range, but she sounded like she was floating, now being a veteran of Mount Rainier's summit. We didn't learn a lot, except that all went exceptionally well, and she was thrilled.
That news made the day of impatient waiting worth it all.
