National Parks Week

April 22-26 is National Parks Week.  To honor our National Park System during this week they are offering free entry to the parks.  Yes, that's right...I said free.  So get off the couch and get outdoors to the great outdoors and explore one (or more) of your national parks and what they have to offer.  

I would love to head up to Utah and visit Zion or Bryce this week; however, I think I will have to stick closer to home so I'll most likely be visiting Lake Mead.  Where ever you decide to go, be sure to thank a park ranger for their service and enjoy. 

The southwest regionals are in Vegas this weekend!  

Even though we aren't cooking in the series this year, we gotta go support and cheer on the teams who are.  

You can cheer them on as well.  They'll be cooking Saturday at the Sam's Club at 215 and S Rainbow.  

Handmade District Craft Show

I set up for this show yesterday and there is some super cute stuff there.  It's out in the Alliante area just off North Decatur and 215.  Short hours but make time to head out and shop it.  They take credit and debit cards too. 

Happy birthday Dad!

I'm wishing my Dad an awesome 79th birthday!  

He is such a great inspiration for so many people.  He refuses to sit by and do nothing.  Always busy...that's my dad, whether he's tinkering at home, working on his outdoor spaces, picking up goods for the food pantry at church, or helping out with barbecue.  I love that he enjoys what he does, whatever it may be.

He and mom are a perfect pair.  They just celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary on April 1...no kidding.  This summer they plan on traveling across America for Dad's 60th high school reunion back in upstate New York.  Like I said...always busy doing or planning something.

Happy birthday Dad!  We all love you!
