Isn't it crazy how something like that will haunt you for a while? The times I've had something like that happen, I have such a hard time getting my thoughts to drift AWAY from the event! I'm glad you're on level ground again! :) Wow- what a frightening trip! Isn’t it crazy how something like that will haunt you for a while?

I was JUST thinking about you because I'm making your super-easy strawberry cake---it's baking as I type. And I! know! about us being in Maine at the same time---so funny! I loved reading your Twitter updates because I was cruising around the state at the same time. I hope you'll be posting about it (and everywhere else you went)? Can't wait to read about it! Hey!

I wish we would have had more time for a hike. Sounds amazing! Too funny we were there at the same time!

The line was long, and I was hungry, so I voted for Jeannie's, but my brother wanted 2 Cats, and now with your further endorsement, I'm sorry we listened to me! (Although those blueberry pancakes were great!) Lan, I've been thinking a lot about whether I would do this again, and maybe. But I'd want to bring supplies and I'd want to be mentally prepared ahead of time for what we are going to do. I'm heading to Colorado next month with some friends, and I already told them the easy paths are the way to go. You can call me chicken. Antonietta, Thank you! It's funny how far you'll stretch yourself when YOU HAVE NO CHOICE! Ha! Jacqui, That may be the sweetest comment I've ever gotten here. Thank you, friend. I love that you just get it, you know? Always. Thank you. Jennifer, You are so kind. It's nice to look back at this event, a week later, but at the time I was anything but courageous, I promise! PS - my palms still sweat when I remember the hike! Emily, I have never tried that! Is there anything that isn't good fried? I submit not. Caitlin, Looking back is fantastic, no doubt about it. Looking ahead? so scary I cannot even talk about it. Did you make the corn fritters!? I'd love to hear what you think! Kim, Fun! I love new recipe ideas. And I love baking, but that goes without saying. So now I need to cook with goat cheese - that's the next step! Carolyn, That's incredible that you were in the same place! Now I want tea and popovers from Jordan Pond! Is this a restaurant? Something in Acadia? So sorry to have missed it! Kristilyn, My brother and I talked about it later, post-climb, and he said when I started crying, he was just thinking he had to get me to calm down because there's was no way he could carry me or help me, really. It was the craziest feeling to know there was no way out but the scariest one. I still can't believe we did it. TJ, I know, it was so sad! I guess 20 or so people got swept away by the wave, which is so insane to even imagine - and so humbling, yes. JessieV, You're welcome, and I hope you try them! Alicia, You're sweet. And tell your mom, See, she reads it! (even if it's read to her, that counts) Glad to know you have the same thoughts and glad to know you because of it. Really.

First of all, I was totally cracking up (sorry) picturing this whole scenario. You really are a great writer! I even read my mom some parts, showed her the pics, and then said I wanted to go to Maine. Second, everything you said about nature is exactly what I say all the time! I love love love nature so much, and it's because no human created it and it's so much bigger than we are. People are so revolved in their own lives, but it's so true that we're such a small part of this world! It made me so happy to hear someone else say the things that I feel.
