I spent the last couple of days getting myself re-situated at mom‘s house. Got out for a couple of long walks, it’s been nice to not have to use my car. It’s also been wonderful not having any kind of specific timeline or places I need to be. After a long walk through the neighborhood…

I slept so well last night, back in my own bed, having spent the evening catching up with my mom. I got up early because it was family day at my son Kieran’s company, Holt. I treated myself to a Philz coffee on my way-I missed drinking Philz during my trip! It was great to…

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…

After breakfast I went for a hike that had views of the nearby reservoir, seems like the leaves are changing color even more in the two days I’ve been here. After lunch Wendy and I went for a hike to the local Girl Scout camp with her daughter Adie and Adie’s dog Remy. It was…

I woke up this morning to see the sky just starting to lighten, and realized I was going to be able to see the sunrise from my room. I totally spoiled myself by turning on the fireplace, sitting in the leather swivel chair, sipping an espresso and watching the world wake up. I could get…

On my final walk with Javi on the trail I saw an old guy wearing a faded sweatshirt standing by his back door smoking, reminded me of my dad.  Today was a big driving day, but before we took off we went to the King Mountain resort and rode the Cowboy Coaster! It was an…

Today was my last full day in Jackson. I spent the morning catching up on my blog and packing up, then went for a walk in the rain to the grocery store for last minute supplies. Afterwards I headed out to the sculpture trail at the Museum of Wildlife Art – I love seeing art…
