Glenn -- Good Morning and Greetings from central Indiana!!! Greg here, and just stopping by to say HELLO (& gld I did). One of my short term goals is to visit as many of the SparkPages of members of the different teams that I am on. I try to visit one page per team per day (and, yes, I'm keeping track of the pages I visit; 100+ pages in the first month or so). You are my "Backpackers" visit for today (as well as SparkMen & Rescuers-R-Us).
Great job on your SparkPage. Where was the background shot taken? I really like the SparkPages, and think setting one up is an important step; you have to think about what you want to present, and be willing to put it out there for the world to see/read.
I love your Philmont pictures. I'm the oldest of 4 boys, and counting my dad, all 5 of us were Eagle Scouts. While on vacation in the southwest during summer of 1970, we visited the main base camp, but never had a chance to go as a hiker/treker. Each one of us had 2 daughters, and while involved some in Girls Scouts, never got back to to Scouting.
Best of luck on the rest of your weight loss journey, and may God bless you and your family. -- Greg 4919 days ago

Thank you for your kind comment on my Spark Page! I have really enjoyed your pictures. What a wonderful family and I've also been really enjoying the background!
The mountains are beautiful! I live in the mountains and I love them! Somehow, I feel closer to God with clean air surrounded by pine trees! Theyput everything in the proper perspective and let us know they were here long before us and will be here long after we are gone.
MY GD is a fire fighter with BLM simply because she loves the mountains and all the hidden treasures they contain.

Hellooo hereami! Enjoyed you Spark Page. Yo have a beautiful family. Those mountains almost look like my Great Smoky Mountains here in Tennessee. You all should hike them sometime - my brother and I use to hike alot in our younger days. We especially liked "Charlie's Bunion" - "The Drop Off" - "Cades Cove (11 miles)" - "Rainbow Falls" - "Laural Falls" - "Mt. LeConte" Soooo many more! I see you're a Scout Leader maybe? Congratulations on your retirement as a firefighter. BRAVE, BRAVE job. My father-in-law helped start our Volunteer Fire Department over 35 years ago and it is something now to be proud of. I can remember riding "shotgun" on the back of an old used firetruck given to us when we first began. I used to go to all the fires (day & night) and report about them ...making sure folks would read about the volunteers so they would appreciate where their donations were headed. I would string for the local TV station as well and send reports to them - other areas took notice soon and word of mouth gained us the title of the "little town that could." Before we had a fire Department - the closest one was over 35 miles away from our small community. My fafther-in-law died in 1993 and would be proud of how it has continued to develope - we now have 5 more branch locations in other areas of our community. We still strife for funds, but recently received a $71,000 grant from FEMA. Also our county commission keeps the department in the budget every year - but mostly our support is by donations and drives and lots of prayer.
Thanks for your nice comments on the marriage life site. Chat soon! Magnolia Blossom ? :-)
