2021-04-23 Arizona Adventure Day 5: Flagstaff Friday Funday

Day 5. Friday. Much ado about nothing. Much of our vacation to this point had been go-go-go. Lots of activity—tours, hiking, navigating, driving, stopping, starting, and exploring. We had nothing planned for Friday and when we got to Friday, there wasn’t anything in particular we wanted to do. We talked about going to the Grand…
2021-04-22 Arizona Adventure Day 4: Doing Sedona Take 2

Day 4. Thursday. Thirsty Thursday. Thursday is what happens when something doesn’t go according to plan. Sometimes, it’s all wrong, but sometimes it turns out alright. My big plan for the day was a hot air balloon ride over Sedona. It was one of the things that Jim and I talked about after the big…
2021-04-21 Arizona Adventure Day 3: Deep Impact

Day 3. Wednesday. Hump Day. Free Skate. Wednesday I didn’t have anything planned but did think we would end up having a longer visit to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. However, we also wanted to visit the Impact Crater near Winslow Arizona at some point too. And since we were still not adjusted…
2021-04-20 Arizona Adventure Day 2: Sedona Escape

Day 2. Tuesday. On my “Grand” trip itinerary Tuesday was tagged as the day we would explore Sedona. In truth, all I really had planned was a late day (4pm-ish) couples massage followed by dinner at a nice restaurant. The scenery and slightly warmer temperatures are probably at the top of the list of reasons…
2021-04-19 Arizona Adventure Day 1: Everything

Day 1.The question for day 1 isn’t what we did on day 1. The question for day 1 is what we didn’t do on day 1. The answer is nothing… there is nothing we didn’t do which, as double negatives go, is the same as saying everything. We did everything. From the top to the…
2021-04-18 Arizona Adventure Day 0: Just Getting Started 🌵

When writing about my travels, I tend to call travel day, “Day 0.” Then the first full day on the trip is officially “Day 1.” At the moment, it is early (5:45am) on “Day 2” so I’m playing rapid catch up to capture everything from the past two days. Let me tell you, it’s a…
2021-04-18 Miss SugarCookie is On the Move Again… ✈️⛰☀️🌴😎

Today is travel day. The start of another adventure and one that I get to share with my love and… have him all to myself for 6 whole days. We were up super early in order to make our 6:20 flight and the airport was just as I remember, only with all sorts of masked…
2021-04-17 On the Eve of the Next Big Adventure

If I had to pick a theme for my life lately it would be “Practicing the Art of Letting Go.” So many things have slid off my radar and the biggest thing I feel like I’ve let go of is worrying about all of it. In that sense, it’s been quite positive. It’s definitely not…
2021-04-12 The Clandestine Miss SugarCookie Surprisingly Secures Seven Hundred Followers… 💃💃💃

Sometime in the last few weeks, the number of followers for my WordPress blogs tip-toed over the threshold of 700. It only took like 4 years. 😜 (Technically 10.5 years since I started my first WordPress blog in 2010.) It’s actually pretty good for a random human simply musing day-in-and-day-out about the same 12 topics.…
2021-04-11 Exhale and Release

Yesterday was a doozie. Hold up. This whole week has been kind of off the rails. I’m trying. I really am. And I’m truly doing the best I can. Yesterday the stress of the lit mag going live (and frankly being over a week behind the original release schedule) got to me and by the…
2021-04-07 Dirt Therapy and Other Vaccination Day Musings…

I haven’t written much for a few days. But there’s not much to write about. 🤷‍♀️ Spring is in the air and I’m slowly getting into the groove of garden work. This is going to be my year for enjoying one of my favorite activities. This year I don’t have to balance a job with…
2021-04-02 What is it they say again about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?….

It’s going to be a beautiful day today and I have every intention of getting out there and enjoying it. I am going to CB and will see my mom but my aim is to spend a little time catching up with my sister. But first I’m gonna treat myself to an exercise class called…
