We’re two months into spring, and I’m feeling pretty good about the progress I’m making on my Spring Bucket List. Health and fitness 1. Train for and complete the Utah Valley 10k. Training is ongoing. My regular readers have seen the weekly updates as part of Friday Favorites. I have also secured a hotel room…
May means Mother’s Day and year-end activities at the grandchildren’s schools, which equals lots of opportunities for family fun time. Keaton played his final high school soccer game and was honored, along with his teammates, during Senior Night. I could not be more proud of this young man. He graduates with honors and very nearly…
When was the last time you had a really great massage? And what is your definition of a great massage—one that is light and relaxing or one that works the knots out in a that-hurts-so-good sort of way? When I get a massage, I’m generally looking for a chance to de-stress and just relax, but…
Finally a full week of warm weather! It’s so much easier to feel grateful when the sun is shining. And it didn’t hurt that we had several family events this week. First was a barbecue at the elementary school, where I got to see three of my granddaughters. Then, of course, another weekend at Hawkes…
I’ve recently had the “pleasure” of going through a website audit and migration to a new host. The next step is a transition to https. I am using the very capable services of MaAnna at BlogAid, and I quite literally could not do it without her. I started my blog because I wanted to write…
Happy Friday! Looking back over my week, it was clear today’s Friday Favorites would be all about our home away from home. Hawkes Landing is open for the season! This is the view that greeted us. It never gets old! I am so grateful for our cabin in this quaint little city, for Mother Nature’s…
Happy Friday! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Actually, it’s been a beautiful week around here–weatherwise and otherwise! 🙂 I hope yours was the same. Saturday was perfect football weather (yes, you can find football in the spring if you know where to look). These girls are 12 years old and fierce! I couldn’t…
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together … all things connect.” —Chief Seattle Did you know that last Sunday was Earth Day, celebrated in more than 190 countries around the world? To…
My how time flies! Apparently–according to the calendar, at least–we are one month into spring. I’m not sure Old Man Winter got the message. Nevertheless, I am moving full-speed ahead (or slightly below the speed limit) on my Spring Bucket List. Health and fitness 1. Train for and complete the Utah Valley 10k. I started…
This Friday finds me full of gratitude, even more than usual. I am grateful for the ability to travel–paid vacation from my employer, disposable income to spend on airfare and accommodations, the technology that makes it possible to travel 1,500 miles in four hours. I am grateful for friends around the world–friends I’ve met in…
