The Dog Who Took Me Up a Mountain
Author: Rick CrandallPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0757322697
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The uplifting story of two unlikely mountaineers: a man in late middle age and a fearless pint-sized pup who, together, scale Colorado's highest peaks. By the time life had finished hitting Rick Crandall from all sides, he was at the lowest point of his life, both personally and professionally. Depressed to find himself facing a mid-late-life age crisis and watching his finances crumble as the tech industry bubble burst, he hopes his future isn't headed downhill. It was at this critical juncture in their new marriage that his wife Pamela made an astute and life-changing suggestion: "Let's get a dog." So begins the story of Emme, a 200-pound Saint Bernard trapped in the body of 5-pound Australian terrier puppy. Soon, Emme and Rick hit the hiking trails around Aspen, Colorado. While she is groomed to be a show dog, it's soon obvious that her heart is in the hills and with Rick, who decides to add more challenging hikes to the mix. Before long, they are scaling Colorado's "fourteeners," peaks with altitudes of over 14,000 feet. On one magical day, Emme climbs to the top of four "fourteeners," a quarter of the sixteen such peaks she will complete during her life without once being carried on a trail or on the rocks on the way to a summit. In mountaineering Rick realizes he has found—in his late sixties—his life's new passion. This is where Emme has led him—out of the abyss and to the top of the mountain. She was never really walking behind: she was nudging him along until he found his stride. Even after Rick understood the glory of climbing, it was Emme still doing the leading, until Rick learned how to lead himself.

Book Description
Turn simple paper strips into super paper art In 2006, we introduced a book on the venerable art of quilling. Being Klutz, we gave the topic a fresh, friendly spin, with plenty of kid-appealing projects and bright, juicy color. But, even so, we were a little concerned about the response such an old-fashioned craft would receive. We shouldn't have worried. More than 400,000 copies later, Twirled Paper is still going strong. Turns out kids (and -- surprise! -- grown-ups) love creating quirky, curly artwork out of strips of colored paper. So now we're thrilled to introduce a whole new generation to the craft. We've updated the package to our sturdy new easy-to-wrap, easy-to-stack, open-flat box. Along with plenty of space to store all the paper strips, glue, googly eyes and custom twirling wand, we've added a new built-in pinboard work surface. Of course, the book itself is still a cornucopia of ideas for using these supplies to make aliens, alphabets, bugs, birds, cats, cows, flowers, frogs, food, moons, monkeys, and more. Enough to make a whole twirled world!
