Pamela Zave reported that she spend most of February  in New Zealand (her second visit to the most beautiful place in the world). The highlight of the visit was a hike Tongariro Alpine Crossing, North Island which she felt is one of the greatest day hikes in the world.  the hike was a really brutal 13 miles with an altitude between 3000 and 3500 feet. She climbed up one side of a mountain,  down the other side.  Most of the time was spent walking right around  Mount Ngauruhoe, that was Mount Zoom in the Lord of the Rings. She felt it changed a little bit her sense of what I what her body was capable of.

Mark Schaffer spent a long weekend in Denver with their four-year-old and one-year-old grandsons and had a great time. Robin did a studio recording of her Ukraine song, and that was just a lot of fun. 

Sam Edelston  has been having a blast and such an educational time the past couple of months, going into the recording studio and working on his first album, and it's gonna be some really cool music.

Elizabeth Lachowicz found a big tree on a farm with a swing, which she enjoyed.
