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 […]

Speaking of Wildflowers

During our hike back from Lone Star Geyser, this wildflower stopped me dead in my tracks: I thought it was so pretty. It was no easy feat to kneel down in the dirt to get this picture just right.

Wildflowers

So many times when my husband and I are hiking, like the trail we did to the Lone Star Geyser, we need to add on ten minutes to take pictures of wildflowers. Ken loves it when I take extra time to get just the right picture of the flower in question and even more time for him […]

Lone Star Geyser Trail

We hiked to the Lone Star Geyser today. Unlike Old Faithful where there were hundreds and hundreds of tourists (so you end up taking 20 photos of the back of some random guy’s head trying to capture the eruption ), this geyser had eight people waiting. This is probably because it was two and a […]
