New World Record—Four Dog Hike!

Yesterday, Kinky decided to start a new health regimen. It is pretty simple—eat healthier and exercise more! So this morning, after Tony and I drank our super healthy smoothies, I made smoothies for Will, Kinky and Ben. The ingredients I used were: ginger, almonds, orange juice, pomegranate juice, kale, banana, apple, carrot, radish, flax seeds, barley grass powder, honey, blue berries and strawberries. Here is a picture before I pulverized it in Jaws, my mighty Vita-Mix machine.

Tony and I took my concoction over to the Lodge. They drank it and loved it. Then T. and I came home. Tony went outside to work and I stayed inside to workout. We're talkin' six miles, again!

At twelve-thirty, the phone rang—it was Kinky. "Nance, I've got blog material for you. Call me." I picked up the phone and called him, then I went over to the Lodge!

After saying hello to Ben, Will and Dylan Ferrero, Kinky walked into the kitchen. "Nance, the four of us just climbed Echo Hill, with four dogs, Brownie, Penny, Chumley and Mr. Magoo! We have set a new world record! Dylan and I are the eldest human beings to ever climb Echo Hill! Dylan is sixty-six, and I am almost sixty-five! Ben and Will were our Sherpas, and I am sure that in over sixty years or maybe longer, no man our age, has ever climbed to the summit!"

"Wow! I said. "What's a Sherpa?"

Kinky spelled it, and then quickly explained it to me. Then I suggested that we go outside so I could shoot them. After I shot them, I asked Kinky to do a video for me and I have posted it on the sidebar under favorite video clips. And, Kinky was great in it! Here are three pictures, that Ben Welch took on their expedition and the last picture I took of the four brave men, who made history today at Echo Hill Ranch!





Here's the video clip of the Four Dog Hike!

Y'all have a great evening!

...and I've just GOT to get one of those Vita-Mix machines! I don't think I could get thru the day without my morning (and evening) smoothies! p.s. I heard that cinnamon lowers cholesterol, so I add about a tablespoon to my smoothies - hope it really works :) My mailman tried it and swears it lowered his...
