Kuma enjoys a Snow Day in Flagstaff

Lava Cave in Flagstaff

One of my favorite things about this time of year is heading up north to play in the snow. Every year right before Christmas, we go on an SOS mission: search of snow. This year was a challenge because we have been quite dry. In fact, we’ve only had 15 days of measurable rain in […]

Kuma Explores Taos, New Mexico

Kuma at Taos Ski resort

Hello! I hope you’ve had a good week. As promised, I will share about the second half of my birthday trip to New Mexico. Mom’s only experience with Taos was in the 90s, and dad and I have never been, so off to Taos we went. The road to Taos from Angel Fire is super […]

Kuma Celebrates His Birthday in Angel Fire, New Mexico

Driving the Enchanted Circle

  When mom and dad got the suitcases out, I was hopeful that it meant a road trip with me and not an airplane ride without me. Mom told me we were going to celebrate our birthdays, so I got very excited! My birthday is September 26, and my mom’s is October 1. Our tradition […]

Kuma’s Weekend Adventures

Kuma with flowers

Woof! I kind of like this quarantine stuff. Mom is home even more than normal and can let me outside and inside, inside and outside of the house…all day long! Yes, I could get used to her being at my beckon call. We have been taking advantage of the cool spring temperatures knowing that the […]

A picnic at Bartlett Lake

Kuma and his mom

             Spring is here in the desert! The yellow flowers are everywhere…except where my mom wanted to see them. Doh! We went for a flower hike on Friday near our house, and the flowers were beautiful. Thanks to all the Forever FIT folks who joined us! On Saturday, we thought we’d head to Bartlett Lake […]

Winter at the Snowy Range Mountains in WY

Kuma loves snow

Across the country, we are experiencing what my mom calls weather whiplash. What’s weather whiplash, you ask? It’s when one day it is like summer and the next winter returns with a vengeance causing you crazy head turns! Although ours won’t be as severe as some here in Phoenix, I thought I would offer a […]

Need to reduce your stress? Read this.

Life is Grand

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

Kuma at the Snowy Range

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 […]

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

Storm cloud

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! […]
