I don’t know about you, but I am wondering where the cooler temperatures went. What happened? They appeared briefly then disappeared. Ugh! Warmer weather limits the length of our hikes, and since we didn’t have the time to drive north this weekend, we opted for a flat, local option: The Apache Wash trail. Oh, I […]
We Get What We Expect
The Lost Art of Conversation
This past weekend, I didn’t leave the house. I was overdue for a relaxing, restful weekend at home. Besides baking pumpkin bread, making homemade soup, painting, and wrapping Christmas gifts, I watched some movies. It has been a long time since I saw Fried Green Tomatoes, which originally released in 1991, but I settled in […]
Adventures at Home
I’ve said it before: adventures come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, adventures are in your own backyard! This past weekend, we didn’t leave the house. Mom and Dad decided that just being home together was the adventure we needed. This year has involved a lot of stress due to COVID along with tons of […]
Hiking the Bear Sign Trail in Sedona
What did you do for Halloween this year? My family took me up to Sedona for a hike. We got up super early to try and beat the traffic because lately it has been so congested that it takes over an hour to get to Rock Springs Café, which should be only 18 minutes away […]
Camping at Enchanted Rock in Texas
I can’t believe we have lived in Phoenix six years now. Wow – how time flies! Since moving here, we got a camper trailer. Mom loves having a frig with ice and a human bathroom. Dad appreciates not having to sleep on the ground, which we used to do. In fact, while living in […]
Hiking Grey Rock in Northern Colorado
Before I jump into my blog, I want to say thank you to all the fire fighters nationwide who face enormous danger to save property, people and pets. This year has been riddled with horrific fires in states like Arizona, Colorado, California and Oregon. It breaks my Shiba heart to know beautiful places have burned […]
Breakfast at the Dog House Diner in Anthem, AZ
Wow! My birthday was the end of September, but the celebrations continue! After our usual morning hike, mom drove us up to Anthem. I knew it wasn’t park day and wondered what we would be doing: breakfast! We arrived at 3434 W. Anthem Way, #146 at the Dog House Diner. How cool is that? […]
Caution About Compliance
Your Kid Has Style!
I’ve been a huge fan of DISC for 30 years and have been teaching its principles for more than 20. The insights gained build bridges, not walls, and help people be the best version of themselves. I wish someone would have given me this insight when I was in grade school. It would have saved […]
