My mom just got done reading Following Atticus by Tom Ryan. This is an older book but is definitely worth the read. It is categorized as a memoir, but it is full of adventures big and small. It is warm, transparent, real, funny, and offers the reader wonderful reminders of the importance of relationships: human […]
Kuma tours Southern Colorado
My folks packed up their suitcases, and I was eager to discover where we were headed. These weren’t the small camping bags; these were the traveling and hoteling kind of bags. What great adventure lied before me? What yummy human food would I get to eat? I patiently waited for my travel leash, but they […]

YOUR HEALTH Inflammation continues to rise to the top of the list for causing diseases. When in balance, inflammation is an essential immune response within the human body. Its role is to limit physical damage from illness or injury by responding to invaders like viruses, bacterial infections, toxins, and something as simple as a splinter. […]
Press on
I shared recently about a challenging hill I am running up and down to exercise because I can (see Not Today blog). Well, the temperatures continue to rise here in Phoenix and that hill feels steeper every day but I press on. The crazy thing is that I am not out there alone. Other people […]
Mountain lion attack in Tramonto
Being on the north end of Phoenix certainly has its advantages. We tend to be a little cooler than downtown, and we don’t usually get the haboobs or dust storms. We have lots of wonderful open space—although mom says that will be changing as the state is selling off massive amounts to pay teachers—and […]
Where are your manners?
Our local news channel 3 has a segment called “Caught Misbehaving Badly” where a reporter films people doing, well, bad things! One show highlighted people running through stop signs and another was people not slowing down for pedestrians as they crossed the street. What I find frustrating about the premise is that he never corrects […]
The Secret Lives of Pets I & II – Movie Review
My mom was pretty excited when The Secret Lives of Pets #2 came out recently. Before I share my take on it, I better back up and give you a quick overview of #1. The Secret Lives of Pets #1 came out in 2016 and follows the quiet life of a terrier named Max until […]
Kuma goes canoeing on Clear Creek, League City TX
I certainly don’t miss the humidity or bugs of Texas, but I do miss the water, especially when it is hot and dry here in Phoenix. We lived in an awesome neighborhood in League City that had a park just four houses away, and it not only had a lake but river access. We could […]
Kuma in Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Ugh. June is proving to be a hot month here in Phoenix. We are only a couple weeks into it, and I already hurt my paw. I keep forgetting rock here isn’t friendly. It’s not smooth like Colorado; it is rough and scratches you up something fierce. This past weekend I was nursing a sore […]
June 2019
YOUR HEALTH When I was younger, I was addicted to cardio classes. I loved the adrenaline rush and burn. The harder the class, the more fun. As I got older, however, I learned the importance of weight-bearing exercise. Like many women, I was afraid I would bulk out and that wasn’t the look I […]
