Well Hello...

My goodness...it's been a bit quiety and crickety around here lately hasn't it?

Don't let the blog fool you, it's only in the internet world for me...not in real life. In real life it's been busy. So busy that I just downloaded (or is that uploaded?) the photos from Monday's jaunt to Sedona and today's jaunt to The Grand Canyon...did I mention that I squeezed a day of work in there as well? Oh...and there's one of those tomorrow as well...but that's followed by a few more days off and about in Arizona with Rich and his visiting family...

Yeah. There's been no gym...I'm justifying that with the fact that I've been hiking and dropping to do 100 push ups wherever we are...

Yeah. That's not quite the truth...well, not the last part anyway.

I'm confident that I'll find my way back to my regular rhythm next week. Or heck...maybe I'll just create a new one instead, I think I'm probably due anyway. I'm just trying to enjoy all the time off, no matter how exhausted I'm finding myself at the end of the day...

It's been worth it.

We've been taking the Titan to all of our destinations instead of the scooter...we were thinking before everyone got here that the scooter would be fine, but a trial run to grab some soy cheese pizza kind of made us reconsider that as an option as it was a little snug with all of us gals in the back seat...not that I'm not enjoying getting to know everyone, it's just a little tight...I mean, we do have a lot of snacks and drinks as well as cameras and purses and backpacks too...So, into the truck we're finding ourselves if it's the 5 of us.

And have I mentioned how nice everyone in Rich's family is? I think we've all been having a great time, and I think they're perfectly delightful and fun...plus? The Grand Canyon trip today has always been a dream for Rich's father, so it was a joy to see it through his eyes!

We were able to make a lot of stops and get out and see all the different views of The Canyon before making our way towards the village and sitting down to lunch...

...and no one tried to push me into the canyon or back into the truck today either!


It was a good day...

There was even a special little heart made from the changing colors of the leaves just for me in the canyon...

Yes...just feel the love...

Feel the love...
