Gorgeous day! People, dogs and bikes outdoors everywhere! Three dune hikes this weekend for me & the dogs; 2 car washes for the Highlander.

Chaos enjoyed her first trip to the dunes today. She was still leading the way enroute back to the car. Saw lots of deer, in and outside the park.

Thinking about taking time in a few weeks, head to the UP, to check out Northern Michigan University. I hear there could still be snow piles....

Life is good........

It's been a busy few weeks in Lake Wobegon, my home town....and more busy ones to come. Though I must say, I feel that progress is being made in some areas of life, while others just don't get enough attention. Out of balance, out of sync, for sure.

But....spring is here. Thus, my spirits rise and I am content. Last night I hit the dunes for my 2nd hike of the season. The affects of winter hibernation are upon me, but I will prevail. Saw a deer while hiking and 5 more exiting the park. The sunset was lovely.

So, I don't know exactly at what stage I am in, or how long I have to go, but it is official......trumpet please...........hot flashes..........mood swings.........headaches.....no period..............YUP! Whoo Hoo!!! I have put to good use, frequently daily, my 'hot flash gal' fan. Glad I saved it from the book fair.

Today I’m off to work, though my list is longer than time will allow. Then, up to GR to see my auntie for awhile. Haven’t seen her since Christmas. My bad.

Another tid bit of good news. My folks' vow renewal/reception is next week Saturday. Thus, it's almost over....Hallelujah, Praise the Lord and Amen!



And, THE BEST NEWS OF ALL................this gal’s got a new toy....oh yeah!!!
