• Happy Weekending


    I have a good friend who always says Happy Weekending. I just love the phrase. It’s a time to rejuvenate after a long week of work. So, I hope you rest and relax a little…and maybe take in a stunning sunset….


    This picture was taken near my house one evening. Not sure the picture can do it justice, though. It was just amazing!

    If you have any pictures of sunsets or sunrises, send them my way. I’ll post them!

    Have a SUPER DAY!

    Hey there. Charlie here.

    When I was asked to pick the song for this week I couldn’t resist picking “Here Comes the Rain Again.” Not only do I think this is a pretty good song, but it was fitting for us living in Phoenix this week.

    Boy did it rain!

    I think total rainfall this week hit several inches (unheard of in the Valley of the Sun). It was strange. Rivers actually had water in them?

    Never thought I would see it.

    The Eurythmics (Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox) were quirky but they made good music and were very groundbreaking for the music video era. Enjoy the song as we try to get back to desert living in the Valley. Peace.

  • ESCAPE


    When’s the last time you escaped the chaos of day-to-day life? Last weekend? Last month? Can’t remember?

    YIKES, is all I can say if you have chosen the last one (Can’t Remember!).

    Anyone who has followed this blog for any length of time knows my husband and I are known to hop on the bikes for some mileage pretty much each weekend. If you follow my Twitter or FaceBook status, you’ll often see, “Off for a ride.”

    This past weekend, we shook it up a bit by throwing in a mountain bike ride! Yep, we still did the road biking on Sunday, but Saturday we stole up into a nearby mountain and pounded out a few miles on some single tracks.

    This is the view of Phoenix from the side of a mountain.

    Yep, we’re still in the city…But within the chaos of the traffic,

    We found this little getaway.

    charlie-and-sheri3This is me and my sweet hubby.

    We’d just made a huge climb up the side of a mountain.

    sheri-on-the-mountain1Had to take my “Rocky” picture at the top. It was such a hard climb, I had to shed a layer and get a picture. I think the temperature had climbed fifty degrees (Can we say exaggerate?) by the time we were done.

    So, after a couple Ciff Bars and some Gatorade, we made our way back down the mountain.

    Such a great escape, and who better to spend the time with than my sweet hubby, Charlie.

    Tell me about your last escape, I’d love to hear.
