This is how I started…
And this is where I finished…
Roughly 12000 steps a day…
And that’s just the steps when
I was wearing my Fitbit!

THE TO DO LIST
Travel everywhere
Take pictures of everything
Sleep under the stars
Dance in the kitchen
Watch the sunrise
Listen to the wind in the trees
Tell people you love them
Hold hands
Kiss slow and hot
Make passionate love
Talk to strangers
Treat everyone like your friend
Build others up
Love yourself
Do things you are afraid to do
Believe in magic
Never give up on your passions
Take your life and make it the best story in the world
CELEBRATE EVERYDAY
SAFE IN THE KNOWLEDGE
CARRY OUT A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS
WITH NO EXPECTATION OF REWARD
SAFE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT ONE DAY SOMEONE MIGHT DO THE SAME FOR YOU.

ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY
Games were played, lots of food was consumed, the fire pit was ablaze and fun was had by all. Seven grandkids, their parents and more. It was a full house of rowdy and loud. Surprising that you can fit nearly 20 people in my kitchen at one time, but it’s a true story!
HISTORIC HALLOWEEN RADIO
“The War of the Worlds”—Orson Welles's realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth—is broadcast on the radio on October 30, 1938.
Welles was only 23 years old when his Mercury Theater company decided to update H.G. Wells’s 19th-century science fiction novel The War of the Worlds for national radio.
Sunday evening in 1938 was prime-time in the golden age of radio, and millions of Americans had their radios turned on. But most of these Americans were listening to ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and his dummy “Charlie McCarthy” on NBC and only turned to CBS at 8:12 p.m. after the comedy sketch ended and a little-known singer went on. By then, the story of the Martian invasion was well underway
The Federal Communications Commission investigated the unorthodox program but found no law was broken. Networks did agree to be more cautious in their programming in the future. The broadcast helped Orson Welles land a contract with a Hollywood studio, and in 1941 he directed, wrote, produced, and starred in Citizen Kane—a movie that many have called the greatest American film ever made.

A coworker and her theatric group just did a reading of "The War of the Worlds" at the locally las week. I can only imagine the terror that the radio program caused back in 1938.

PLAYED IN THE RAIN
It was cold and so so wet! But those little troopers played the game.
Far too many grown up rules in peewee football.
Should have just let them enjoy playing in the rain!
LIFE PASSIONS
10 years ago today I
started checking things off my bucket list. Staying here in Cottonwood, AZ not
only let me check off “Listening to the sound of Oak Creek from my bed”
(something I had wanted to do since I was a little girl), but it opened the
flood gates to the fulfillment of other bucket list desires. It also created a
passion in me to continue adding to that bucket list. In the past 10 years I
have checked off so many things and added way more onto the list. Each time I
accomplish one of these hearts’ desires, I acknowledge the joy of fulfillment
of that moment, knowing that my love affair with the thought of each activity
or destination has been fully realized. Making your bucket list is a highly
personal thing. Choosing the places and activities that set your mind on a
creative, artistic and passionate love affair is not about others, it’s all
about you. So, it stands to reason that most bucket list milestones are
accomplished by yourself or with those that share your hearts desires. I give a
big Thank You to those who have helped to inspire my list, and Bigger Thank You
to those who have shared my passionate accomplishments.
Here is to all the other
accomplished lines on the list, and all the new items added!

OCTOBER
As long as autumn lasts,
I shall not have hands, canvas,
and colors enough to paint
the beautiful things I see.

TODAY IN HISTORY
On October 26, 1881,
the Earp brothers face off against
the Clanton-McLaury gang
in a legendary shootout
at the O.K. Corral
in Tombstone, Arizona.
The famous gunfight that ensued
lasted all of 30 seconds,
and around 30 shots were fired.
Though it’s still debated who fired
the first shot, most reports say
that the shootout began
when Virgil Earp pulled out his revolver
and shot Billy Clanton point-blank in the
chest, while Doc Holliday fired a shotgun blast at Tom McLaury’s chest.
Though Wyatt Earp wounded
Frank McLaury with a shot
to the stomach, Frank managed
to get off a few shots before collapsing,
as did Billy Clanton.
When the dust cleared,
Billy Clanton and the McLaury brothers
were dead, and Virgil and Morgan Earp
and Doc Holliday were wounded.
Ike Clanton and Claiborne
had run for the hills.
