CAROLE, behind her camera

KATHY and LAURELEE

CRYSTAL and LINDA

LISA (and Tim O'Brien).  We had to make him an honorary (temporary) Ladeze man so he could guide us down the Rogue.  He said "thanks anyway" to the offer of lipstick!

WOODY (and the rest of the river rats reflected!)

You haven't lived until you've done 360's on the Rogue with WOODY at the helm!

CRYSTAL, our Figurehead and Pirate Spotter!

Back on Land...

Between her two-part presentation of "THE CHASSIS, THE ENGINE AND THE BOX: WHAT TO DO AND WHEN TO DO IT," JOAN never really stopped sharing her RVing expertise.

The only males allowed in the "clubhouse" are the canine variety...

Meet male canine extraordinaire, BLACKIE, and ...

LAURELEE, we know it's you under there ... your badge was a dead give-away!

Good food, great company...

BE STILL MY HEART!!

For me, these dynamic, enlightened women enrich my personal Lazy Daze LADEZE experience, this year held on the banks of the Rogue River, Oregon.  It has been a privilege to absorb their energy and imagination, and their enthusiastic participation is infectious. These women make it all worthwhile, and I am so very grateful for their  friendship and generous contributions.  Thank you.
