A little adventure!


A few years back, for my birthday in 2004, I went up to Alaska for the week. One of the many adventures during the trip was whitewater rafting. Today I am going to go rafting again, only here in Colorado. I am pretty excited. So I wanted to share some pictures from the last time I went.




Now, what's a good trip down the river if you don't get wet? So I "accidentally" fell out. It took a bit of doing, but I managed it!












My river guide, who is also from Colorado, finally gave in to my pleading to be able to drive the boat, since it was my birthday and all. So that's him with his hands up. "Look, ma, no hands!" That's cause he's not supposed to let customers row. We were just supposed to sit back and enjoy the scenery. I just had to give it a shot, though. Apparently I did well. I was told I could "read the water really well."














There was only 1 couple on the raft with us. Nice folks.

Don't I just look so cute in my drysuit? What a great trip! I will post more pictures of today's little adventure when I get back. It is good to be me!

Simple pleasures

Oh how I adore the gentle scent of a honeysuckle in the morning!

Keeping up with the Joneses. Or the other bloggers.

In keeping with the theme of the day, I will post my most recent recipe I have concocted.
-Take 1 cob of corn, husk still on.
-Place in microwave for approximately 2 minutes.
-Let cool to the point you can touch it.
-Peel back the husks.
-Enjoy!
A common variation is to add salt or butter, but I really prefer the purity of the original recipe.
Now, dear friends, I urge you to try it. Canada day and our Independance day is upon us.

Sorry, folk. I'm just a single gal. That's about the best I got! Ha ha ha!

It's good to be me!

This is one of my favorite pictures I obtained while living in Hawaii on a travel nurse assignment during the summer of 2005. People will do the nicest things if you just ask! My roommate was mortified that I asked them to pose with me, but just as eager to have her own picture taken after mine! Good times!

Neither the time nor the place...

...But I just wanted to post a Chargers picture of me. I love the Chargers! (Random, I know. Just thought I'd post something different....)
