Letterboxing: Jackson Hole

Searching for Letterboxes is so much fun!  (And a great way to keep little boys entertained while waiting for the Jackson Hole Shootout!)  This one is at the Jackson Hole Visitor's Center.  The clues lead us up on the look-out tower, out on the boardwalk, and around the grounds to various interpretive signs and statues.  No kidding, at least a hundred Canadian Geese were on the grass with us!

Letterboxing: Flour Girls & Dough Boys

Ate a cupcake AND discovered a letterbox at Flour Girls & Dough Boys.  What a cute rubber stamp!

Letterboxing: GO FISH

Our first letterboxing adventure. It's the GO FISH letterbox hidden in Highland Glen Park.

Follow the directions (http://www.letterboxing.org/) to discover a hidden treasure.

Open the box to reveal a logbook and hand-carved rubber stamp.

Exchange stamped images. Stamp the letterbox logbook with your stamp & date. Then, stamp your own logbook with the letterbox stamp & date.

Return the letterbox to its hiding place!  Be discrete (non-letterboxers may take the box and ruin the fun)!

Gurlz Like It

Dumbfounded at the fact that I have not yet discovered the middle-ground between leaving the pediatrician feeling like an overly protective hypo-whatever searching for a quick-fix to the common sniffles and that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when the doctor’s face clearly reveals we should have come in sooner, I bite my lower lip apologetically and attempt to comfort my whimpering toddler.

To further discern Jeremy’s well-being, the doctor attempts a simple conversation:

Would you like some medicine to make you feel better?

Jeremy nods his head and musters: Uh-hu

It’s pink medicine; is that OK?

Without a pause he shakes his head: Nu-uh

Pleased and amused the doctor asks Why don’t you want pink medicine?

Gurlz like it.

Completely satisfied he finishes up with Which color would you like?

With firm resolution: BLUE

UVU Convocation

UVU Commencement

Congrats to my high school senior -- now with an Associate of Arts from UVU!! You worked so hard! I'm so proud of you! (I had no idea I would have so many tears in me tonight!). So sorry to friends & relatives that I discouraged from attending the "boring univeristy commencement". It was the best address I have ever heard -- Erin Gruwell, the genius of "Freedom Writers" (2007 film).

Spring Attraction!

Have you seen the latest attraction?! (in the field just south of Wimpey's Half-Assed Acres)

Promenade!

Bring It On!

Since I LOVE being the center of attention, and due to the fact that I’m such a great TALKER, and because I THRIVE on the challenge on convincing mostly strangers how great I am -- you can imagine how I wish I could crawl into a corner and cry myself to sleep! I think I need more practice. Bring it on!

Underwater Tunnel!

Over the river and THROUGH the bridge! I took the quick route out of the city --- just a short mile and a half – completely under water!!

Stunning Baltimore!

What a stunning view from my office in the beautiful high-rise office tower overlooking Chesapeake Bay! Even more stunning is the fact that it took 15 minutes to clear the building during the earthquake last spring. Have you seen Baltimore lately?


Oops, I didn't mean to scare anyone with the "my office" comment . . . it was just my office for today!

Good Morning Baltimore

Isn’t it too early for a spring training stadium game? Oh wait, that’s just city noise keeping me awake! Keep your fingers crossed that this interview is just a secretly disguised “get to know you for a Utah job” – otherwise I may be waking up every day to “Good Morning Baltimore . . . “

Fair Weather

Great weather is ruining my favorite January activities . . . bird feeders hanging in the trees untouched and the ducks won’t bother coming to shore. (Not) fair-weather friends!


The weather is so great that I’m sure if I peek under the dead foliage that still needs to be cleaned from my yard -- I’ll find 10,000 little green weed shoots! LOL How can I possibly find fault with great weather? (It must be the short days driving me crazy!)

Happy Anniversary!

Confirmed. When the individual stalls of the ladies room are lined in marble, you know it's going to be a great meal! Thanks honey! BTW - have you seen the new Jou Jou's toy store inside Grand America? Just the last bit of inspiration I needed to finish my vintage game wall!
