Note from Stacey

It looks like I’m making progress in climbing. Thursday I worked my way to the top of two 5.11a’s, almost doing one without resting. It was a good feeling because it’s the best climbing I’ve done since before the transplant. Today, I went to Waterdog Lake with Eva. It is a great wilderness path right in the town of Belmont. The sunset was really gorgeous, bright blue with pink streaks. It was a short uphill hike to the lake. I was glad that it didn’t seem too hard. When we got to the lake, we saw Eva’s neighbor with his dog, a golden lab. The dog was having a grand time playing fetch; he swam out into the lake to get the ball even though it was really cold. I was impressed. Stacey, from Belmont
