Is it my imagination or do more of our elders pass on to the next life during the holidays? It’s a beautiful time of year, marked by holidays, festivities, and family togetherness. Emotions can run high

In my heart of hearts, I’m a foodie. I live to cook, and I live to eat! It’s a rather challenging combo since I also love to be healthy, fit and slender. I recently lost 15 pounds by cutting way back on

Thanksgiving is possibly my favorite holiday. It means time off from the daily grind, time to think about what’s important, and a fabulous opportunity to spend time with some of the most awesome people

My friends and I are getting into a routine of leaving work early on occasion to go walking. The days are so short and it is dark by the end of the work day! We have discovered that if we meet at 4:00,

The park where I often walk is beautiful year round, regardless of the weather. On this particular trip I was mesmerized by the mottled color of the clouds as the sun tried to make its way through. It’s

We had our first snow storm of the season yesterday. It was a mess. Many accidents on the roads! True to form with the first real snow of the season, it all melted today. But the chilly weather stayed

Do you ever wish you could post in all the communities you love on a more consistent basis? Wednesday Walk, hosted by the venerable @tattoodjay, is one of them for me. Here I am! Hoping to get back to

We are still in the wind-down of Autumn, here in Minnesota. My property is graced with many large trees, which is wonderful, but it also creates a lot of work. The trees must be trimmed. They drop branches.

My husband and I had a nice evening, starting with a walk around our neighborhood before it got dark. After that we went out for sushi to celebrate the end of the work week. I hope you had an awesome week!

It was another day in which I didn’t get out for a walk before sunset. Oy, these short days! I worked out while watching a show again, which doesn’t provide a lot of interesting fodder for a blog post!

The thing about shorter days is that it can be easy for me to discover at the end of the day that the sun has set and I never got outside! That happened today. I work from home and it was 6 pm before I

The colors have mostly gone from the trees, and a day like today with gray skies can be somewhat grim. And yet — looked at another way — it has an incredible raw beauty. My husband and I walked out along

Saturday steps and funtimes

I spent most of my Saturday outdoors — first working in my own yard, and then later in the day helping my sister with some of her projects. My project was leaf raking. I have an absolutely enormous front

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
