I love strawberries. There, I said it. I love them almost as much as chocolate. Lucky me, I grew up near strawberry fields in Southern California. Orange County was THE place to get strawberries fresh from the field. At one point we lived across the street from a strawberry field and the owner would let…
The Monterey Bay Aquarium
Mark’s cousin hit a milestone birthday in July. Dare I share the number? I probably shouldn’t. Playing a round of golf at Pebble Beach was number one on his bucket list. His wife set up it all up and off we went. Mark is a big golfer. He was even captain of the golf team…
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmothers and special aunts. May your day be as special as you are!
Cousin Crew Oregon Reunion
Mark grew up within a few miles of his cousins; close enough to attend school together as they were all only 6 years apart. They remained close as they scattered across the country pursuing life. We don’t get to see each other enough and planned a trip to McCall, ID which you all know is…
Spot Free Wash

Mark is the master of the dry wash after a particularly dirty drive and he cleans the windshield at every campground so…
Red Bluff KOA

S’Mores Cookie Bars
S’mores hold a special spot in my heart. We had them at every girl scout camp out and many times as a teenager hanging out at a friend’s house. Our family camping trips with our boys featured the yummy and messy treat at almost every campfire. I love seeing our boys’ messy smiles while eating…
Sand Hollow State Park
Our home base for the last leg of our fun fall RZR trip was Sand Hollow State Park. It is a new park in the Utah State Park system being dedicated in 2003. The park includes a reservoir and fun trails situated on Sand Mountain in Hurricane, UT and was a great jumping off point…
Happy Easter
An Easter Wish – On this day, may you experience a sweet renewal of faith, hope, and joy.
Easy Lemon Sugar Cookies
This recipe was one of those happy accident kind of things. I made blueberry bars that called for some lemon juice and had 1/2 a lemon left so I hopped online and found this wonderful gem. When I made it the first time, I had already cut and juiced the lemon for the blueberry bar…
