I thought I was finally getting back on track and getting posts up on a regular basis, then spent a week with sporadic on and off (mostly off) internet, and I realized just how much we depend on technology these days!
From my monthly CafeMom Mod goals, to my regularly scheduled blog posts, to looking up recipes, checking email or my bank account, weather, and logging information on My Fitness Pal, I felt very helpless!
How dependent are you on technology today? If you lose your internet, computer, cell phone, television, are you able to change gears and carry on, or are there things that you actually cannot do, tasks that cannot be completed?

Amazon Description:
For friends Clara, Abby and Lily, only one thing is more delicious than the Pine Mountain holiday cookie exchange – finding the right man before they ring in the New Year!

Where There's Smoke by Donna Kauffman
When flames from a recipe gone disastrously wrong send hunky fire-fighter Will Mason to pretty Clara Parker's rescue, the sparks really begin to fly! And once Will gets a taste of Clara, he aches for more than just a little sugar from the famously single food columnist...
The Gingerbread Man by Kate Angell

Good Morning! This is The Day!
Good Monday morning! Oh what a beautiful day! I just wanted to share a smile with you this morning before we all go out and about our days!
Psalm 118:24
24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Aquatic Adventures
I've been able to make two visits to the Casper Aquatics Center this summer. Once, the girls and David and I went swimming while Paul was on his ten days on, and one time the whole family was able to make the trip.
This is a great facility. The kids love the slides, and I enjoy walking around the Lazy River, while they drift in and out. I walked 3 miles on my first visit and 2 on my second! The lap pool isn't really a very good place to swim laps during fun swim, but it's fun to play basketball, and the girls loved crawling on the alligator.
It is very well supervised, with lifeguards that were consistent with the rules and watching all the time. That's a big point for me, having been a lifeguard, and it was nice to feel that I could relax my guard a little. The other really great thing is that I can still keep an eye on the kids, while giving them a little freedom. I can see every part of that complex from the Lazy River, except for when you loop around a tiny corner in the back, so as long as I keep moving and keep watching, I still know where they are and what they're up to!
Did I mention that "Hero Harry" accompanied us on our second visit? :)

Friendship
Just a moment this morning to shout out a very special Happy Birthday to one of my best "Forever Friends", Michelle Sanecki. I don't get to see you very often these days, and I just want you to know that I'm thinking of you and celebrating you today!
We've been friends since 3rd grade, when Michelle moved to the neighborhood and began attending Mountain View Elementary. While there have been times we've lost touch for awhile, she's been my friend through thick and thin, for thirty years! Thank you Michelle!
I don't have many way, way back photos around, but I thought I would share a few of this fabulous lady :). I do have to tell you that she's lost over a hundred pounds since even the most recent of these pictures, so she looks a little different now!
The lion and the wolf! The Wyoming Game and Fish Expo has a lot of fun activities for kids of all ages! :)

Girls' night at the movies with some of my nieces!
And you can't think of Michelle, without thinking of this beautiful lady, who was such a special friend.

We're both in this one! Fourth Grade, with Mrs. Butts.
Playing on the playground equipment at the park in Laramie with Michelle and the other kids!

You can't have spent time with Michelle without learning a lot about canine agility training and spending some time at trials (and hiding in the woods for the dogs to practice air scenting or tracking).

All dressed up! There was some serious dress shopping leading up to this event...
All ready!
