Catching Up: A July Life List

It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks. We were in Alaska last week for 8 days and before that I can't even tell you what happened.  That was then and this is now. WEATHER this week is sizzling at 105, 107, 101, 98, 96, and 95. I like it hot, thank you very much. MY FAVORITE MOMENTS FROM LAST WEEK are too many to recount but for my memory's sake I'm going to say the story my sister-in-law told that involved a dirty toilet seat is right up there. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to lose my breath. I also went on a horse trail ride (a first for me) and it was exhilarating. Such a great week.  WHAT'S RIGHT IN THE WORLD I'm home now. I love traveling but I am always so glad to get home. I have discovered that I am perfectly happy to be gone for 7 days but more than that is too long. This Alaska trip was 8 days. WHAT I'M RESISTING My eating went off the rails a bit on this vacation so I need to reel it in starting today. I'm just going to re-zoom. WHAT I'M THINKING Honestly, I am not looking forward to going back to work this morning and weeding through hundreds of emails and piles of paper. I'm tired. WHAT MY FUTURE HOLDS I have a couple of photo shoots this week. IF THIS IS MY LAST DAY ON EARTH I would have to say that I have squeezed a lot of fun out of the last couple of weeks. Yesterday was off the charts with the horse ride and then a hike through a small cave in Naches, Washington. I was overly tired by the end of the day but it was so worth it. There is no time like the present to do fun things. An old lady once told me the best advice ... don't put things off as one day your health will prevent you from doing them. Best advice ever. Enjoy your day and enjoy your life, wherever you are. (PHOTOS from Alaska trip) love, susan








You Made My Day, Dude!

A couple weeks ago while I was driving back to Portland after spending the night on the Oregon coast, we came up on some road construction ...
