Since it’s April I better get my booty in gear and get our “2024 Snapshot” published! I like to do this at the beginning of each year so I can freeze that “moment” in time. I want to remember how it felt right here and now when I’m looking back some day. Let’s start with…
…and your sisters love you too:) And you all love hiking. And service. And talking. Oh, and eating, of course. When my sisters asked how they could help celebrate my birthday of course the answer was sisters hiking. Because that’s what we do as we discuss the whole wide world. And there were some good…
Remember those days when your kids would say, “You’re not the boss of me!” and you would smile because really, you kind of were the boss of them? I mean, who else was going to help tuck them in bed on time and make sure they were fed and snuggled and taught their manners? It…

How in heaven’s name have I lived here in the desert for almost twenty years and have never spent time in Sedona? (just a little over two hours away). I always like to ask for hikes for my birthday. It seems like a good ploy to hit my family up for that kind of gift…

Well, today marks the first day of official on-line school here in the desert. Everyone at this moment is nestled in front of their chrome books and laptops (college kids), working hard, trying to figure out this strange new mode of life. Every once in a while I stop in my tracks and the heaviness…
The beginning of September found us situating these girls here in Hawaii. Yes, it was a tough job, but SOMEONE has to do it! Loved watching Elle take that little sis of hers under her wing. Their relationship has grown so much over there as college girls, and I love watching it. Our last night…
