Hi Gram,Another beautiful day in the mountains! I was a little sore this morning and objected when my alarm went off, but I got up and did my morning routine anyway. After breakfast, Mark and I decided to the the bikes out for another ride. We stopped by the local deli to grab sandwiches for…

Hi Gram,I just can’t get enough of this wonderful life! I woke up a touch sore after our hike yesterday and had a little bit of a brain fog, but I’m finding that when I have good, understanding friends around me the brain fog isn’t as stressful. I caught up on some tasks on the…

Hi Gram,Happy Friday! I got up and did my morning routine of brain exercises and breakfast, then Mark and I loaded up the truck and headed to grab sandwiches and go for a hike. Feeling guilty that we were out enjoying nature and leaving Milo home in the house, we brought Milo the dog so…

Hi Gram,I woke up this morning and took the chance to have a slow, lazy morning. I read a little, chatted with my friend T’Rell, and had some tea and chatted with Mark. It felt good to take it easy and let me mind and body rest a little. Some days I’m excited and eager,…

Hi Gram,I am just having such an amazing time visiting friends, building new memories, seeing the beauty of nature, and documenting it all for you. To be honest, though, I have somewhat selfish ulterior motives to writing this all down – I get to live it all again for the first time when I go…

Hi Gram,I just finished a weekend with friends that blew my mind. I built new memories, reconnected with friends that I’ve met in person, saw friends that I had previously only seen online, learned a lot, felt a warmth in my soul and in my heart of having multiple buckets filled at once. I laughed,…

Hi Gram,The past few days have been delightful for me to live, but not all that exciting for anyone to read about. Wednesday, I slept in and recovered from the previous few days then met my friend Katelyn at a brewery for games. We were going to go for a walk, but the rain changed…

Hi Gram!Wow, after such an intense and memorable weekend, I would have been satisfied to just relish the memories and unwind a little. That’s not my style, though. My original plan was to give Emma a ride to get her rental car, then meet up with some other friends later. As we were leaving, though,…
