final ascent...

...to mt. everest

betty sue has been training for months on end...

this is the last ascent in her regimen of training climbs - before she heads out on the long flight across many miles... and begins the trek to the top of the world - the big mt. everest... she's always wanted to do this climb... understands it's dangerous... not many lady bugs have been successful - but she's ready for the challenge - is also ready for sherpas to help with carrying essential gear... she's hoping one of them will be cute - maybe there will be a connection between them... ooh la la... ya never know what could happen - there might be danger there as well... she's prepared... has planned for every eventuality - taking risks is part of life... stepping into the unknown - shaking things up a bit - it all makes for...

a

happy day.....
