Sonora, my little girl, is a lovely little princess. As most people know I’m not into pink that much, so this is a stretch for me, but I dig her looking pretty for me!
We’ve put her into gymnastics and she loves to go. I went to watch her one time and I could tell she was having a blast. But something irked me a little. On the one bar where she had to hang with her hands and reach up with her heals to touch the bar, she barely lifted her feet and then said, “I can’t.” Katie, her patient and helpful instructor, was helping another child and so couldn’t come back to help Sonora.

Topping the news lately has been the tremendous ash cloud covering Europe. Brewing underneath the icy cold climate of Iceland is a hot volcano. This volcano has spewed it’s contents into the atmosphere impacting millions of people.
I am fascinated with volcanoes. They stir up in me all kinds of emotions. Adventure, awe, fear and curiosity all come to mind when thinking about the amazing power of volcanoes.
When a volcano erupts it influences a huge area around it. The more people there are nearby, the more news it makes. I remember hearing that if this volcano erupted over 100 years ago the news would’ve been very small only affecting the people living in Iceland. Today, however it affects millions. Why? Because of airplanes. Amazing.
