What Caveat?

On my recent trip to New Mexico, I had a free day, so I decided to do some exploring. I decided to head over to the Carlsbad Caverns, all alone.

Tip-Top Shows

I travel frequently for work, and lately I’ve been traveling the weekends when I’m home. I guess travel is in my blood.

She’s a Vallea Girl

The little girl, she sings, dances and twirls in the dark. As she spins, sparkles kick up and surround her in light. The old man plays guitar and the animals dance with her, lighting up the night.

Riding High

My hands started to cramp as I gripped overly tight on the lift’s bar. I had always enjoyed chair lift rides, despite being nervous about the heights. But for me, this one was different.

Higher Than You On 4/20

Have you ever had nightmares about falling? I have.

Jobbed Out

I sobbed after hanging up the phone. I looked at my husband and said: “I got the job!”

Snow Way

Some weekends, I’ve come to realize, I’d be better off staying home in bed. Some adventures fail.

Polar Bare!

I can’t remember ever being so anxious. I’m not an overly uptight person, but my anxiety was never this bad, not even before tests, surgeries, or at weddings. And all of my stress was over a little jump in the lake.

A Good Ribbing

As we waited in line, I heard the girls scream as they went over the edge. The hair on my neck stood up and a bit of nervousness gripped me.

Sea the Light

This week, I’m not writing the blog. Due to my schedule, my youngest son is my guest blogger, and the words that follow are his. We may see more of his writing in the future. At only seventeen, I’m really proud of his abilities, with this being his first attempt at descriptive writing.
