Hi Sades!! It's Molls! I'm sure you know that from the subject line. How is the climb going?! I can't believe you're doing this all again! How exciting and also cold. I imagine its very cold there on the mountain. I hope you're keeping track of all the funny stories (EASY BIG PHILLY!) so you can tell me at our lunch date when you get back! I love you and I miss you! Can't wait to see you!! Keep climbing and smiling!

Heart,
Molls

P.S. I don't like having these one sided conversations with you.

Another one for Sadie

Headed to Shira 2

kdavidson — Thu, 02/18/2010 - 02:10

Jambo Alex,
Gonna give You an insider tip for Shira 2 (shhh!)...Beautiful Bathrooms, NOT WESTERN STYLE, BUT go all the way to the right in Women's half and there, Praise Kili, ia a handicap accessible toilet, ( read that as "Western Style "...). Put Your headlamp on, sneak in there around 10:00 PM and savor the moment becuase it's gonna be some time before You see another one! All well back here!Again: BE IN THE MOMENT!" My Best to all of YOU! Keith d. ;-)

Sadie and Bridget

Kellstar — Thu, 02/18/2010 - 02:16

Hi lovely ladies!!
I am thinking about you and I know you are staying strong and doing an awsome job!! Its likely you are both "mambo-ing" or "cha- cha- ing" up the mountain:) I'm sure you are probably saying to yourselves- " I like to be in America- okay by me in America!" right about now!! But hang in there and play it "cool" - real cool. Be safe and have fun!
Love,
Anita

Beautiful Sadie

PhilipSzrama — Thu, 02/18/2010 - 03:54

I love you and know your loving every moment, is it weird that Rick keeps saying I love you?

Hey Sadie and Nicole

lauriealice — Fri, 02/19/2010 - 22:37

I think about you guys every day and wonder what you are seeing as you climb that mountain ... I'm sure every turn brings a beautiful new view. Your efforts mean so much to so many ... I'm in awe. Keep smiling and know that we're all behind you ... love you guys!

MEOW gram For Bridget

drenfer — Sat, 02/20/2010 - 00:03

Orson, Ottis and Scruffy are sending all their energy they saved up by taking extra cat naps. I'm sure this will help make for a purr-fect effort. Best to all.

Congrats to you all. I'm so proud of you. God I'd love to be there too! You'll never be the same. You'll never be able to say the words, "I can't" to yourself again in moments of lazy-weakness. You can do anything from here on in. Your life will never be quite the same.
Lots O Love,
Bonnie
