Month: June 2021

Have you made the drive on Interstate 35 through the Flint Hills of Kansas? If you’re from the KC area, then you likely have. Perhaps you’ve made that drive on a road trip? My family made this drive regularly when I was growing up as we would drive south from KC to a small town just west of Wichita, Ks to visit my grandparents. As a kid this was a boring drive through Kansas. As an adult I began to appreciate these flowing hills and became in awe of their beauty. The Flint Hills of Kansas is actually 10,000 sq miles of flowing pasture, some privately owned and some government owned. I’ve only seen a small part of it. This year I decided to attend an event I’d heard great stories about, but never took the opportunity to see for myself. The weekend met all of my expectations as I […]

Hey Friends, The last few weeks have felt so good! Taking an actual vacation, heading out to restaurants with the hubs, meeting friends for coffee, planning trips for 2021 and doing a WW Workshop this week with no mask! Yep! Our members that are vaccinated are now welcome to enjoy the workshop with no mask if they choose, enjoy food and drink during the workshop, and everyone can now take off their shoes to weigh as long as they are wearing socks.

I have several members that I met only after Workshops opened back up in 2020, so I’ve never seen them without their mask. I was excited to see whole faces and meet that smile I had envisioned under the mask. I loved […]

With so many cancelations over the last 12+ months (like everyone else in the world), Mike and I finally got to follow through with a planned trip! We joined some friends in Mexico last week and I’d like to go back, today! A friend of ours recently celebrated her 50th birthday, and after we all began getting vaccinated she started talking about taking a trip to Mexico to celebrate and inviting all of her friends to join her. Mike and I decided to join everyone for three days of the trip then stay an additional three days just the two of us. It was the perfect mix of celebrating with friends then reconnecting with the hubs. We had a great time enjoying friends, the beach, the pools, the food, the drinks, the entertainment, the staff at the resort, the guest we met, the sunshine, the views and time away from […]
