I hope this fits here, cuz this is SO typical Joseph that I have to write his caption for this photo: "And the pensive fog slowly poured over the tops of the mountains only to then cascade gently into the canyon - filling it, as it were, with that same austerity one feels on a cold, brisk dawn in March journeying toward that which only the mind can hinder from achieving."  :)

Joseph with another Alta buddy, Dhane Taylor (not sure where his is going?)

This is the combined food from packages all four Elders received.  Can you see why he told me to STOP sending so much food?!!!

Thanks everyone who sent letters to Joseph for Valentines Day!!
