Spontaneous Adventure
My husband and I treasure our spontaneous road trips. Fishing, picnics, trips to the lakes, and mountains, all on a moment’s notice. I’m a big planner and list maker, so spontaneous trips are a big deal for me. Grab and go…. no list! Just throw some things in the car and hit the road. This can on occasion send me into a bit of a spin. I value our time together and any opportunity to make memories so I just go with the flow.
A recent spontaneous fishing trip soon became an adventure when we found ourselves driving along a winding road through a migratory bird refuge. We were excited about the prospect of seeing some unusual birds. Unfortunately, the birds were scarce. The 93 ˚ heat of the day most likely kept them in the cool underbrush and marshes. The muddy Bear River was overflowing with what I can only describe as mutant carp. Hundreds of them swimming together and fighting the current as they moved up the muddy river.
We did manage to see a few birds and to make a few friends .
Remember, life is full of adventures. Some we make for ourselves, and others we find ourselves in. No matter how the adventure begins, enjoy it, make memories, take lots of photos, leave the lists behind and laugh as often as you can.

Menopause Musings
I’ve been right smack dab in the middle of menopause for a while now. I’m constantly declaring to anyone who’ll listen just how “hot” I am. No, not sexy hot. Hot! Scorching, melting, boiling hot! Lava cools faster than I do! I wake up hot, I go to sleep hot, shop hot, eat hot and float on a lazy river hot! In addition to the constant desire to rip all of my clothes off and stand in a meat locker, I also deal with an intermittent vanishing memory. What? What was I writing about? Oh, yes, the memory thing. You see, just like Santa, I’ve taken to making lists. I’m constantly making lists. Things to do lists, things to buy lists, things to look up lists, lists to remind me to read the lists! Where did I put my pen? I need to add something to my list.
Menopause, ah, there are so many things to add to this glorious undertaking of women past their child bearing years. Things that were once pointing north now declare the exact location of the South Pole. What was once tight and tone is now and squishy and soft. Muffin top syndrome sets in. That roll that has developed around your mid section and peaks out from the top of every skirt or pair of pants you wear. Yes, "menopause middle" is what I call it, and no amount of crunches can remove it. It’s destined to plop right back in your mid section as a badge of honor amongst the menopause inflicted and the menopause survivors. So, I say, don’t fight it, embrace it! Embrace it with an ice pack, a smile, several note pads and a handful of pens. Wear as few clothes as possible whenever you’re able and keep telling the world how hot you are. No need to let them know you're talking about your temperature, right?
