The Amoses and the Three Bears (minus one)




Hello there. We are in Hanover, NH which is right on the VT/NH border. We are excited about leaving NH and hiking in a different state tomorrow. We have just finished 110 miles in 8 days, pretty good for us. As the title tells, we saw a couple black bears on our hike, two little black bear cubs up in the trees. One id pictured above. We never did see momma; however, we didn't stick around to wait on her either. So our animal count is two bears, two moose, three snowshoe rabbits, toads, snakes, partridge, mosquitoes, etc. Our trip has been enjoyable. The picture above is of a shelter that we stayed in, the Hexacuba. Also, you have have heard about the Old Man in the Mountain in New Hampshire -- his nose has fallen off in the past few years. But Heath and I found and took a picture of his son, if you notice in the picture above! :) That is it for now. God bless.
P.S. We went to church at the little church in Glencliff, NH (11 members) and were blessed to be invited to the minister's home for a fantastic roast chicken dinner!! Yummy.

Dear Rebecca and Heath,
I enjoyed reading about your trip so far. Sounds like you guys are really communing with nature. Sounds great! Wish I were as brave as the two of you. Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.
Love, Delma
P.S. Was the partridge in a pear tree?

Heath & Rebecca

I finally have the chance to write. We miss you all here in Lubbock. The bear pics are really neat! What exciting things you are doing & seeing! Annabelle is getting more alert everyday, and getting bigger. She is a great baby! Liv has reached a milestone in her little life...pigtails! Little ones on top of her head, she loves them! Soren has been a huge help to mommy, she LOVES being the biggest sister. We have been watching Little House on the Prairie, she puts on her bonnet and 'plays' prairie days.

Soren says "be careful on the mountains!"

Love you both! Missy

Thanks for thoughtfully sharing a few highlights for those of us who love you both so much. Come to think of it, you're sharing this with all living humanity. Suddenly I don't feel like such a special friend of you two. Oh well. May God speak to you his livng words through the beautiful creation and your many unique experiences. And may God speak to us as you selectively relate them to all of us.
