After the incredible sunset with the East and West Mittens, we finished getting Vinny ready, hooked up the Jeep and began our travel day to Moab. Before getting out of the area we had to make the stop for the classic Forrest Gump shot. We were a bit limited where we could pull over, but… Continue reading Leaving Monument Valley

9-14-19 Verde Valley TT
We left Araby Acres Encore Park in Yuma at 8:15 am. on Friday the 13th. I drove today. It took us 4 hours 45 minutes to get to Verde Valley TT (no stops). The last 7 miles had 7 roundabouts!! I think that has to be a record for us! The park is spread out… Continue reading 9-14-19 Verde Valley TT
Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Abby & Richard & Oak Harbor friends
Special time with Abby! We went to Oak Harbor the first weekend of August. We met Becky (Ogren) Miller and Adelia at City Beach Park. Oh, my! How that place has changed!! I love it! It is so much more inviting and useable for people of all ages. Although, there aren’t any pickleball court put… Continue reading Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Abby & Richard & Oak Harbor friends
Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Anacortes
Saturday morning, August 17, Barry and I headed up to Anacortes to spend a couple nights with Renee and Tom. What a wonderful, relaxing time!

Barry and I had the entire… Continue reading Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Anacortes
Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – EM time
Another happy hour dinner at Azul Restaurant in Mill Creek, but tonight I spent time with triathlon friends from our Experience Momentum (EM) Multi-Sport Team including our beloved Coach Karen!

Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Middle school colleagues
Elona Loewen was gracious enough to allow me to stay with her for 5 nights. Elona and I used to go for walks together fairly regularly when we lived a few blocks from each other. We both have missed our long talking walks! It was great staying up late talking and trying to watch a… Continue reading Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Middle school colleagues
Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Fab Four
I’m so glad these three lovely ladies made time for us to get together for dinner! If it weren’t for these three, I probably would never have completed a single half marathon, let alone about 25 half marathons, 7 marathons, numerous 5 & 10 K’s, a couple 12K’s and a couple 15K’s! We all joined… Continue reading Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Fab Four
Aug ’19 Visit to Washington – Time with Grandma Nancy
The day Barry was going to take me to Abby’s apartment, we planned a day with Barry’s stepmom- Nancy Patrick. She is always a delight to visit.
6-10-19 Silver Strand State Beach for Barry’s birthday week.
Six months ago I was able to get online and book a full week at the Silver Strand State Beach in the premium front row for us to celebrate Barry’s birthday at the beach! These run about $15 more than the other rows, but makes it worth it having a Class A motorhome so we… Continue reading 6-10-19 Silver Strand State Beach for Barry’s birthday week.

When we sold our Everett house to live and travel full time in our motorhome, our neighbors, Lance and Karolin Windon shared that they had just bought a lot in Oro Valley, AZ. They were having… Continue reading 4-10-19 Reconnecting in Tucson
