I’ve tried for two days in a row to write an Actifit right after climbing into bed, and have fallen asleep instead! The third time is the charm. My husband and I went to the Minnesota State Fair this evening.

Every year I volunteer at my company’s annual corporate golf event and fundraiser. Today was the day! It’s always a great day — laughing and joking around with my coworkers, many of whom I only see at

I jumped on my bike and went out for a ride in the evening after dinner. I have some really nice downhill roads near me, and it’s fun to cut loose and fly. What a wonderful, freeing feeling! Of course

I had a wonderful walk at a nature center, even though it was a hot afternoon, and a little bit muggy. This nature center is delightful. It has an interpretive center, which I have never actually been

Hubby and I took a nice long evening walk to the lake. We arrived just in time to capture the sweet pink glow of sunset reflected on the water. Of course I had to capture a few different boats surrounded

Sometimes at the end of the day I ask myself how it got to be midnight and I still haven’t shut down fire the day. Today it was obvious. I put in a full work day, took a 15-minute Power Nap, dashed to

Back from vacation and back to the grind! Today was a full work day, and fortunately I had gotten on top of email after returning on Sunday from my trip because I have a “never a dull moment” job. After

I’m at the tail end of a really lovely vacation in central and northern California with my husband. We have seen a lot of family members and friends. At some point I will try to write a full blog post

Funny thing about this post: I played pickleball (indoors) for an hour and a half, and got no pictures. Then I came and still wanted more exercise. So I went walking and took pictures of flowers, fences

Hubby and I took a walk to the lake, via our favorite path. I envy boat owners, yet I do like the simplicity of our lives. To enjoy the water, all we need is our walking shoes. And if I want to be on the

I had a great day for steps on Sunday, with two long walks and a lot of work around the house. I was highly motivated for three reasons. First, I listen to books while I walk, and I needed to read a book

My husband and I walked around a large lake called Rice Marsh Lake. I’m not sure where the “rice” part came from, but the lake is nestled into marshland so “mars makes sense. It’s a really pretty area,

I inadvertently took a little hiatus from my blog, due to a combination of being very busy and also having a hip flexor issue. But today was a great day! I went out for a 20-mile bike ride in the afternoon,

I did a number of things today to earn my steps, including some shopping and some outside work. But I wouldn’t have gotten over 5,000 steps without kayaking. I know it sounds bizarre! I had my phone (which

I love a day when I get two different forms of exercise! Today was a combo of pickleball and a walk with my husband. Here are some pics from a walk in our favorite local park. It’s so green now! Just six

I got most of my steps attending a rally yesterday. It was a wild day in Minnesota yesterday. Like everywhere across the US, we had many peaceful “No Kings” protests. But in addition to that, one of our

Hubby and I walked around an area called Purgatory Creek, although I think of it as a wildlife reserve because there’s a large body of water that is home to geese, ducks, blackbirds, egrets, great blue

My son plays on a men’s baseball team in the summers, and every Sunday is a double header. The field where he played today is part of a large park that system that includes a dog park where I love to go

Well, I have had a very busy week and have therefore been dropping into Hive when I’m near dead from exhaustion, writing a short post, then falling asleep or running off to the next thing. And you know
