My husband and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary with a trip to the charming river town of Stillwater, Minnesota, on the St. Croix River. The fall weather has been amazing. In fact the day was

I took a glorious autumn walk today, attempting to capture the lovely sunlight in the autumn leaves before they are gone! The leaves are just past their peak, and I knew it was probably my last opportunity

Today’s steps were all around the house. As you can see from the first picture, taken in my yard, I have a lot of work to do around the house! So I did some yard cleanup. But it was too daunting so I went

My description of a less than pleasant retail experience

It was such a busy week. I had very few opportunities for exercise all week, so I was thrilled to get out on the trail with my husband this evening after work. The light was fading, but I took as many

A night on the town for dinner and the theater.

My gal pals and I headed out for a mid-day walk among gorgeous autumn colors. The colors have finally exploded, and the fall trees are stunning in the fall sun. Here is what it looks like when you look

This evening my husband and I grabbed a bite to eat at a local eatery, called the Gold Nugget, before setting off on a walk on some local trails. While I wasn’t getting steps as I ate dinner, I will share

An evening out supporting a wonderful organization

Saturday is my favorite day. I avoid being too goal oriented, after a long, busy work week, and yet I get a lot done and usually do some fun stuff too. (Don’t ask me to explain it.) Today’s activities

I’m pretty addicted to exercise. For a year and a half I limped around after breaking my foot very badly and then needing two surgeries to fix it. Now I’m unstoppable. Every day, I get some kind of workout,

Well that was fun. I got hit with a migraine at the end of the workday that made me very woozy. Migraines for me involve no headache, but a sparkling aura that takes over my vision. So like any sensible

A walk in Fergus Falls Minnesota

Happy first day of Autumn (at least for those in the northern hemisphere). It was lovely today where I live — southeast Minnesota, not far from Minneapolis. We finally had a crisp fall day after a few

Sometimes my husband and I hit the parks and trails, and other times we just walk out the door and meander through the nearby neighborhoods and parks. I always love to find out what we will see along the
