Nice, eh? I grabbed this photo from Luann’s Flickr site. It’s me on a boogie board, she took the photo when I was out to visit her in San Diego last August. I’m going to Chicago this week, but then I think it’s time for me to head to the sunshine and warmth of Los [...]
Yesterday I had a detoxifying and relaxing soak in the Boulder Hot Springs, only a half an hour from Helena. It was so so so nice and so very sweaty! They only charged me seven bucks for the afternoon. I spent time in the one hundred and six degree mineral bath, the steam room, the [...]
I know, it seems that the whole US is getting hit this winter especially Chicago. But I left Chicago to get away from cold and snow and it followed me. I can’t remember the last time I had snow boots . . . and I had to buy them this year. Well worth the purchase [...]
I was in a coffee shop this morning, what’s new? Well, now I’m in Helena, MT. I know, a little crazy. Seattle wasn’t working out for me at this point, so I decided to take a road trip to visit my mom. She’s consulting at a hospital in Helena. It’s a cute mountain town with [...]
That’s all they’re talking about out here. It’s still snowing. I drove to Vancouver, WA (near Portland) from Seattle on Saturday and had to drive about 40 mph the last half of the trip because the roads were snowy and slick. The normal almost 3 hr trip took 4.5 hrs. It reminded me of driving [...]
Yikes – look at Chicago a couple of days ago (compliments of Stacy). She shot these photos from windows in our apartment. The red tree is in our backyard. It looks so pleasant and beautiful. I’m just glad to be looking at them through photos and not from the window – hehe!
On the trip from Chicago to Seattle, my dad and I stopped in Moorhead, MN (near Fargo, ND) to visit my grandma for a couple of days. She has recently been in declining health and moved from her apartment into a nursing home. It was difficult to visit her, not only to see her dependent [...]
This was at a rest stop at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. Clean up after your dogs AND horses! I left my horse at home. The valley is rugged like the Bad Lands – it’s pretty in a desolate sort of way. No where to hide if someone had a gun. Maybe [...]
I know it’s not right, but I love my car. From Chicago all the way to Seattle, the trip only cost about $120 – wow! It’s a Prius and gets about 45 miles per gallon, but I have to say that I got lucky because the price of gas went down right before my dad [...]
I was just looking a few blogs below which triggered a campfire memory. The day we were headed from Seattle to Lakebay, we stopped at the grocery store to pick up s’more fixn’s. I told Brian (Jodi was with us, too – we had gone to Pike Place Market that morning) that I wanted to [...]
