Waterfall #2: Skogafoss  The path to Skogafoss was dry as a bone With a staircase that went to the top We climbed all 370 steps And the view almost made our hearts stop   The day was so clear, the sun shone off the…

Our dead of winter Iceland trip was kind of a spur of the moment decision. Travelzoo had a smokin’ deal that included non-stop flights from Denver, five nights’ hotel, and an excursion to Laugarvatn Fontana, a geothermal bath with a buffet dinner and northern…

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

It’s a blog party over at Empty Nest Adventures! Link in bio. If you write a blog and are interested in sharing your work, meeting other like-minded people and making new friends, come stop by. I’ve met so many cool people through blog parties hosted by others, I thought I’d have one of my own. One of my favorites is 73 year old Barbara at Sunshine, Sheep and Shambles. She is such an inspiration! Recently widowed after 41 years of marriage, she took a month-long solo road trip through Australia and had some amazing adventures along the way, and she’s hilarious! She is my hero. 💗 #blogparty * * * #meetnewpeople #blogger #makingfriends #genuine #blogs #writer #stories #inspireothers #livelife
If you’re in Big Sur, California don’t miss the short hike in to see McWay Waterfall. It flows year round right onto the beach. #bigsur * * * #hike #waterfall #beach #coast #cali #travel #roadtrip
I’m really frustrated. We have had an MnM/Skittles machine at a local pool since 2009 and use the money to donate to Make-a-Wish. We’ve given over $1,500. The city has instituted new guidelines for snacks sold at city facilities and are making us remove our machine. A handful of MnMs and Skittles falls FAR below their requirements for calories, fat, sugar and sodium. I am so disappointed in the city of Fort Collins. #tryingtomakeadifference #governmentoverreach

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! We got outside and also saw @graymattrmusic perform. He is amazing! And my blog was nominated for three awards. ☺️#weekendvibes * * * #rmnp #rockymountains #colorado #hiker #outdoors #hiking #gooutside #hikergirl #blogger #iloveamusician #nofilterneeded
Thank you to all the pilots who donated their time, aircraft and gas to make the Women of Aviation Week a huge success! There were 11 planes and one helicopter giving free rides to women and girls of all ages. Only 6% of pilots worldwide are women and events like these hope to increase that number. I’ve been in a plane many times in my life, but this was the first time I was the pilot. It’s an experience I’ll remember forever. The day was gorgeous and I was able to get a shot of our new CSU stadium. Thank you @flyWOAW * * * #women #pilot #woaw #flying #airplane #volunteer #makeadifference
