Fish from the miles of shoreline at Steamboat Lake State Park

Fishing: Steamboat Lake State Park

Colorado may be a land-locked state, but it offers more than 8,000 miles of rivers and over 2,000 lakes for your angling pleasure. And I’m pretty lucky to live here where I can drop my line mere minutes from my home when fishing in Stagecoach State Park, one of many fishing “holes” in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.Fishing: Steamboat Lake State Park

Let’s Talk…Rekindling Romance

Romance never stops. Photo by Butterfly Kiss PortraitsRekindling romance with your spouse or significant other is an ongoing process, from your first date to a 50 year marriage.   It was a simple act. Really. I didn’t plan to offer this token act of love, a simple task of presenting my hubby with a heaping plate during our family’s recent Thanksgiving feast. An act that had all the men –in-laws from ages 20-73 — stepping back and telling me what an amazing thing I’d just done.

The guys didn’t have to say another word as my hubby grinned from ear-to-ear when I handed him the plate. It made him feel good, and that made me feel good too.Let’s Talk…Rekindling Romance

Israel, Visit to the Holy Land

A few years ago, I embarked on a once in a lifetime journey to Israel, the Holy Land. Growing up in the Bible Belt of Iowa, the legendary “land of milk and honey” was discussed often as a faraway land, where none of my family, mere farmers, blue collar workers and “gasp” Iowans would ever get the opportunity to visit. But here I am looking forward to a visit to Galilee, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem,  Negev desert, and Dead Sea. I’m even going to throw in a camel safari and some other such adventures.Israel, Visit to the Holy Land
