Facing That Mic

That moment when a few of your singers can’t show up to rehearsal (due to unforseen circumstances) so you put a mic in front of your face and do your best to sing the parts of three people. The last time I really did any singing into a microphone was for the song “Redeemed” which […]

Another Concert

I am planning another concert and tonight was our first rehearsal. (The last time I put on a concert was May of 2022, so it was time.) I am so grateful for this group. They are spending hours practicing music for little old me. How blessed am I? This concert will be at 7:00 p.m. […]

Miranda

My uncle from Indiana called me yesterday. “Hey, Marie, your Aunt Geri and I are really enjoying your music, but you know which one is my favorite? Livin’ Outside the Box. I listen to it over and over. Why haven’t you reached out to Miranda Lambert to have her sing it? It would be such […]

Singing In The Car

I wrote a short note to Katrien—she has sung three of my songs now—on Facebook, “Hey, I wanted to let you know that I sang my little heart out to the master of “Got My Life Back” in the car this morning on the way home from the chiropractor. You took the lead vocal. I […]

Time of My Life

Wearing one of my new shirts, breaking in my new hiking boots, enjoying my new Smartwool socks, trying out my new Bana, and most of all, having the time of my life on this trip to Yellowstone. And, I didn’t have a heart attack. That’s always a plus.😉

Hiking to Upper Falls

Speaking of flowers and rocks, I’m sure I looked like a complete dork trying to get good shots of these on our hike to and from the Upper Falls, but I didn’t care. My main goal was to a) be able to get back up off the ground, b) not have a heart attack (because […]

Brink of the Lower Falls

Hiked the 600-foot—elevation—gain trail to the Brink of the Lower Falls today which might not sound like much to you, but to this old lady (completely out of shape), it was quite the accomplishment. I kept having to stop on the way back up because I was so winded. I took those opportunities to take […]

Canyon Visitor Education Center

My husband and I were up at 6:30 this morning, thankful for some cooler, rainy weather. We ended up at the Canyon Visitor Education Center, mainly because I had to pee. We toured the place, watched a movie, saw some beautiful artwork, bought a Bana because I forgot mine at home, and finally found some […]

Breaking In The Hiking Boots

Here are my new hiking boots for the three of you who care. And remember when I said I didn’t need to buy any more shirts until my next trip? Well, we walked around town last night and I found that red shirt (and another super comfortable one) for buy-one-get-one-free. As to that look on […]

Paintpots

My husband and I had to run to town to buy me a pair of hiking boots and Smartwool socks this morning before we headed into the park because my feet (in Chacos) aren’t liking all the dust around here. Once we came to Artists Paintpots, we had to drive around the parking lot circle […]
