Beautiful views
Utah’s beauty this time of year is exceptional! Though my husband is in the hospital due to a knee replacement revision, we have both enjoyed nature’s changing weather and colors. Here are a few photos from my husband’s hospital room on the 6th floor: They view from my hotel room:

Bad Day, Good Day
I woke up late this morning, rolled slowly out of the king-sized bed in my 4th-floor hotel room, and took my time getting ready for the day. It was a slow stroll down to the restaurant for the breakfast buffet, which I was looking forward to eating before heading over to the hospital to spend…

Shortcut – How did that work out? 😳
It is a good thing Google Maps took us a shorter way to get to the hotel tonight. It usually directs us to get off at exit 304 and meander our way through town until we finally arrive at the hotel up on the hill around the corner and several blocks away from the hospital.…

My love for driving began long before I was legally allowed behind the wheel. It all started with a memorable experience in my grandpa’s pickup truck, where I got my first…

Today is Mother’s Day. I spent the afternoon with my 80-year-old mom and my 83-year-old dad, yesterday, to celebrate my mom. We had a good afternoon visiting, eating dinner, then playing pinochle. We already played Friday night, but since we were there Saturday and there was time after dinner, my dad offered the opportunity for…

The Campfire
Camping is one of my favorite childhood memories. My mind remembers the sounds, smells and feeling of warmth from the campfire. It was so calming, just sitting around the campfire with my family, listening to stories, mesmerized by the dancing flames of the fire at night. Memories of roasting marshmallows and the ooey gooey-ness of…
