Tomorrow at this time it will be the 1st of August
Summer is running away from us. I can barely breathe. I think the oxygen supply is running out. The earth is starting to rotate back out into the galaxy, further away from the sun, making our days shorten. Soon there will be a change in the season. I might completely fall apart, or simply combust.
there are not many more days to sail,
or [...]
Griswold Family Bear Lake Trip
This barn has had a smiley face on it since I was nine years old. I love it because it means you are almost to Bear Lake.
We don’t take the scenic route to Bear Lake. Nope, that scenic route is much too beautiful. Especially the part when you reach the top of the canyon and the bright turquoise lake is revealed in all it’s [...]
Bear Lake
Ever since I was a very young girl I have spent a lot of time at Bear Lake. Over the past ten years there have been many changes at my Lake. As more and more people come to the lake they are purchasing property and building homes on the hills and lake side. Many of these changes have [...]
Horses and watermelon
You wanna know what frustrates me? SEEDLESS WATERMELON. It’s frustrating as Hell. If Hell is a frustrating place, and I have been told it is, then seedless watermelon is FRUSTRATING AS HELL! I don’t think seedless watermelon should be called seedless, it should be called colorless seeded watermelon. Or is that not politically correct? Never mind the politics I am in no mood to involve [...]

My heart always fills up with pride when I witness my children doing something they enjoy. While I watch Sessy on the court I [...]
May I gloat?
It is really hard to not talk about skating this time of year. Even though it’s a balmy 95 degrees outside, the figure skating season is in full swing and we are spending many mornings at the rink. Sass had her first competition of the season a couple weeks ago. Three days after she competed we jumped on [...]
Crypto
It is swim season. Time to relax by the pool. Usually I am pool side nearly everyday, but thanks to a certain parasite called cryptosporidium, my pool side adventures have been scarce this year. Perhaps it is because every time I see a pool the theme from Jaws starts to play at an ear piercing volume (funny how nobody else can hear it). Or perhaps it is because of this commercial that [...]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
I love summer, I live for it. After the long grim winter we had this year, I honestly thought we may never make it to July. But we did and here we are baskin’ in the glory of it all.
The fourth of July is my favorite holiday and for that it should be yours [...]
