The train was a half an hour late, while we were waiting I struck up a conversation with a fellow passenger who was taking the train to Reno for his daughters wedding in Tahoe. Luckily the weather was very mild so I was comfortable in my shorts and Teva‘s. The train arrived and I was…

On my final morning walk in Park City I saw a deer family running by, heard and then saw a huge flock of birds, and later a beautiful sunrise.  After a gorgeous drive to Provo, I spent the afternoon mostly walking around BYU – loved strolling the border of campus on a shady path next…

Saw a shooting star last night, and this morning a little cottontail bunny ran past the door.  Wendy and I went for a walking on the McLeod creek trail, a wonderful area with many spots to sit by the creek and relax, even a place to set your phone so you can listen to the…

I woke up early and went sat out on the couch, and listen to owls calling back-and-forth. Took it easy this morning, I am at a point in my audiobook that I just want to keep listening to it, so I sat and listened while looking at the dramatic morning skies. Once I had a…
