In order to keep up with the theme of “outdoor adventure in the Sierra Mountains” Greg picked up a book in Yosemite that we both ended up reading. Thirst, by Heather Anderson, is the story of the woman who set out to break the FKT (fastest known time) hiking the Pacific Creat Trail – Mexico … More Good Reads
We made it to paradise on our Summer of the Sierras adventure and I was thrilled. Yosemite holds such a special place in my heart because it was where I went every summer as a kid and I have so many fond memories of that place. Tay had never been to the valley and camping … More RV Adventures- Yosemite
Between the reservations we had at Kings Canyon and Yosemite, we had a two day lull. Not wanting to drive all the way home just to turn around and head back to the Sierras, Greg found us a spot at the Sequoia RV Ranch in Three Rivers (just outside of Visalia.) While this was not … More RV Adventure- Sequoia RV Ranch
We didn’t think we’d get out on a grand RV adventure this summer with COVID standing in our way…but we did! Reservations that we thought were cancelled in Yosemite ended up still being in place, so Greg quickly created an adventure around the existing reservation to make a full-fledged trip! Basically, we were going to … More RV Adventures- Kings Canyon
It’s Friday! And if the picture of these two super bougie, super adorable pups doesn’t warm your heart…well, I’m not sure we can be friends!!! I jumped on the whipped coffee bandwagon (along with the rest of the quarantined world!) and I found it to be really fun…and really good! It was fun to make … More TGIF- fun finds
It’s grilling season! One thing that I love about summer are the warm evenings, cold beer, and grilling. When we went vegetarian a few years ago- I was afraid that grilling would be a thing of the past. I was so wrong… Trader Joe’s had some beautiful artichokes for sale- so I had to buy … More Grilled Artichokes
We did it- another week in the books! Take a moment and realize that you did it! And (hopefully!) found a moment or two to thrive this week, too! On one of our countless walks recently, Tay found the tiniest, itty-bitty newborn California Kangaroo Rat who had been displaced and was all alone. He was … More TGIF- fun finds
Friday is here once again (as if it’s different from any other day!) and we have now ended six weeks of quarantine. Honestly- I don’t find it to be too bad. The slower pace has changed my life completely, and there are times where I am really bored- but it’s a sacrifice that I know … More TGIF- fun finds
Another week is in the books! I’m happy to report I have still NOT put on a pair of “real” pants, I have, though, continued to shower each day (!), and everyone in my house is still alive and functioning. I consider those all little victories! Speaking of pants…I have found my new favorite pants! … More TGIF- fun finds
Well- it has been three weeks now of a constant uniform of sweats and leggings, and I can’t say I’m upset about it! Why are sweats not a socially acceptable work uniform? Honestly, after this whole quarantine thing, we- as a society- need to reassess our priorities when it comes to pants! Our orange tree … More TGIF- fun finds
right turn ahead
