Stinson Mountain in the Winter
I have hiked Stinson Mountain twice. But neither had the clear view of today. With the last few snowstorms, the mountain is a winter wonderland. The trees are laden with snow. The sky was a bright clear blue. Last spring, I hiked it with some of my family. This is the same view in the […]
Advice
Blog-tember Friday, Sept. 30: Picture this, you’ve been stopped on the street by the photographer of Humans of New York, and he asks, “What advice would you give to a large group of people?” Share a picture of yourself along with the advice. Advice? I’m not sure. I would have to say, don’t be afraid […]
Year in Pictures
Blog-tember Wednesday, Sept. 28: The top five pictures that illustrate your year so far. How do you narrow down all those pictures? I’ll try. Our one and only snowmobile ride ended with a visit to the emergency room and surgery for Tom. A broken clavicle and 3 broken ribs. He’s was back to his old […]
TSNEM – August 2016
August– Printmaking; fabric or paper I want to make a quilt for a fund raiser for the Baker River Valley Snowmobile Club. My idea is to use the signs along the trails as blocks. But how do I make those signs into quilt blocks. I don’t applique well. I don’t really want to embroider it. […]
Snowmobiling in Wyoming
Tom and I have been married now for 20 years. For our 10th and 15th anniversary’s, we went snowmobiling in Wyoming. We decided it was worth a third trip. Our first two trips were to Togwotee Mountain Lodge. Which is a great place. This time we stayed at a guest ranch in Moran, Turpin Meadow […]

First Ridable Snow
I took a break from quilting this afternoon to ride my snowmobile around the yard. I took Maggie and Sport for a ride also. I was surprised when I didn’t have to chase Sport to get him on the sled. He came right to me, I helped him up and we took a spin around […]
