Monday August 27/12 update

I found out at midnight that I may be a great-grandpa sometime soon.  Todd’s daughter Heather is expecting.  It is hard for me to fathom that my son is about to be a grandfather too.   I guess this had to happen sooner or later as she is 20 years old already.  Congratulations to her and Trevor.

I am pretty certain that I am the first in our family to hit this milestone.   Since I should have another 40 years or so to go yet, there is a good chance I could hit Great-great0great grandfather status before the big red bus hits me.

Note that there will be no blogs likely for the next two days as I will be on the road trying to get hopefully striking photographs of the active volcano Tungurahua.  Apparently it has quieted down a little over the last few days and we are also at the mercy of the weather which is supposed to be rainy today.   Hopefully it will clear up by tomorrow night.  I doubt that a $15 hotel is going to have wi-fi, plus we will be up half the night trying to get night shots, so I am not going to bother dragging the laptop along.

Tuesday August 28/12 update

We are up early and the Boys are very clingy.   They seem to know when we are packed up for a trip.   I have fed them once and will feed them again before I leave.

I just read the latest updates and the volcano seems to be showing more activity since last night which could be good or bad, depending on how you want to look at it.   It is drizzly here this morning but hopefully this will clear up as we head north.

That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.
