Girls Rock

This is why my hair's turning gray.

That's my college girl "bouldering," as she calls it. But, let me tell you. That is not a boulder. Ok. Not a boulder. It is a freakin' cliff.

She's out on an archeological dig now, camping rough, so I can talk about her, and she'll never know.

After this particular climb, she apologized for scaring me, even though I hadn't said a word. I guess you have to be a parent, maybe a Mom, to understand how a human heart can hold an equal measure of panic and pride.

Girls Rock.

  1. They call that "bouldering?!" Eek! Shouldn't they be attached to ropes or something?

  2. Are those all your daughter -- a collage of some sort?

    Since I'm afraid of heights, I will go quietly away and have nightmares now.

    Candace,

    Ropes and a net would not be amiss, if you ask me. She's arranged for someone to teach her climbing with ropes. A couple of boys who say, "Dude," a lot. :\

    Pooks,

    It's a collage I made with Picture It. I love making those. Most of the pictures this day were out of focus, for some strange reason.
