Regardless of your political affiliation, recent months have been filled with crucial conversations where opinions vary, stakes are high, and emotions run strong. The authors of the best-selling book, Crucial Conversations, tell us that during such times, we are often at our worst. We feel under pressure, stumped, and tend to act in self-defeating ways. […]
The Snowy Range Mountain Scenic Byway
Our cooler weather with windy conditions makes me think back to a trip we made to Wyoming when we lived in Northern Colorado. Have you ever been to Wyoming…the land of wide-open spaces? The entire state has less people than Phoenix, Arizona (579,315 as of 2017) and is known for its expansive blue skies. We […]
Trekking through Tramonto with Kuma
Oh, happy days! We are having a nice fall with cooler temperatures. This means me and my family can stay local, and we did just that this weekend. We decided trekking through Tramonto was in order. Tramonto is a neighborhood on the very north edge of Phoenix. In fact, we are just shy of […]
Kuma’s Rental RV Experience at the Maroon Bells in Colorado
If you have been following my adventures, you know me and my family got a camper a couple of years ago . lorrainebosse-smith.com/kuma-goes-first-camper-adventure/ We’ve been enjoying exploring and adventuring ever since!

Kuma hikes at Dreamy Draw Park for the first time
Ah. Fall temps are here! I love the crisp mornings and cool evenings. Milder temperatures mean we can explore more local hiking options rather than heading to higher ground to avoid the heat. This past weekend, we drove down to Dreamy Draw Park located at 2421 E Northern Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85020 (off the 51 […]
Kuma’s birthday celebration – Plan A
As you know, I just turned 11 years old. Personally, I don’t feel any different! Anyway, our plans were changed due to the weather, but we did get to Plan A: Lynx Lake. Does my mom know me or what? Lynx Lake is one of my all-time favorites! It is an easy drive up the […]
Happy 11th Birthday Kuma!
I love fall not just because the temperatures cool down but because it is my birthday! Mom says I was born on September 26 in 2008 so I am 11 years old. Numbers don’t stick with me, but I’ll take all the celebrating I can get! We woke up and had our normal breakfast, and […]
Kuma camps at Powell Springs
When my mom took me to the park on a Thursday, I knew something was up. We usually go on a Friday, so that meant one thing: adventure! Dad got the camper and when he was getting it ready, he noticed a connection to the propane gas line was broken. I’ve been smelling propane and […]
Kuma 4 wheels to Horsethief Lake
Man, is it me or has this been a hot and humid summer? Ugh. My folks were sick of the sticky weather and decided last minute to head to the hills. We weren’t sure we’d find cooler temps, but we brought a picnic and would at least have a change of scenery. I was game! […]
Kuma’s Labor Day Weekend
My mom sure works hard keeping her business going. I don’t know or understand all she does, but I sure appreciate her assistance with my blogs and articles. She also helps people stay healthy by teaching fitness classes, and lately she has been teaching extra ones. She takes care of me and my brother: water, […]
