Reunited
Hello! It has been quite the few days since we last chatted. A lot of fun with family and unfortunately, a not-so-fun summer cold that began last Wednesday and is still lingering this morning. I can’t remember the last time I was sick when it’s hot outside – it’s such a strange feeling. Fortunately, I’ve […]

Bull Riding, Line Dancing + Trail Hiking
…oh my! The final two days of our Arizona adventure brought us to the Buffalo Chip Saloon for some Friday night, “Southwestern style” adventures. You know you are in the right place when you see ten-gallon hats everywhere you look and a bull riding arena in the back of the bar. And so we bought […]
Fabulous Fourth-some
Hey there! Long time, no chat. I’m back into my groove after an excellent looong weekend with family and friends. When I last left you, I was reconnecting with my best friend Sam. The morning of Fourth of July, we woke up bright and early (thanks, time zones) and got the party started with some […]
