Washington Adventures in Friendship, Wine and Children
Some of my favorite Quotes: “There is nothing like being loved by a child” also “The best place in the world is right beside a friend”
My trip to Washington to visit Nuclear Mom, was exactly what I needed for my soul. I am ever so thankful for not only the wonderful vacation, but also getting to spend time with and develop a relationship with her children. She and her husband truly have a beautiful family and I am lucky to be loved by them.
I also got to learn to make Lefse. A Scandinavian dessert that my grandmother used to make and I regretted never learning to make it before she passed away. When NM mentioned to me that she had learned to make this from her in-laws I jumped all over the opportunity for her to teach me to make it…NM wrote a great blog about it here.
Here is proof of us rolling out our Lefse...YUM!
Also I can’t forget all the delicious wine we were able to drink, sample and of course I had to buy some for my wine cellar. (In actuality it is some wine in cardboard boxes in my basement, but ‘Wine Cellar” sounds better).
On my last day of my stay I told Leif and Skadi I had a wonderful time visiting. I asked the kids if I could come back again for another visit.
“Sure” Leif replied.
YES! I will be back!!! I miss my “Morning Monkeys” already!!!

Weekend in Steamboat
What do you get when you mix three friends, wine, good food, shopping and a hot springs under a full moon?
A fantastic weekend!
My best friend from high school (Nuclear Mom) left her husband in charge of child duties and jumped on a plane from Washington. I don’t know who to be more grateful too, her for doing it or her amazing husband that said three months ago, “you should go, we’ll be fiiine, really, go”. (What a great guy!)
My other girlfriend from college drove up from Denver and met us on Saturday. By the time she had arrived, NM and I had scoped out the best shoe stores, spied a couple of new restaurants we were thinking of trying and found who had the best wine list for mid-day refreshments.
Bonus for us in the evening, it was a full moon for our adventure to Strawberry Park. One of my favorite hot springs nestled in the mountains away from light pollution and near my old house when I lived in Steamboat another lifetime ago. We sat in the water, sipped our ‘juice boxes’ and girl talked. Figured out all of life’s mysteries and quickly forgot them as the fog rolled off the water.
Life happens and friendships ebb and flow. It is weekends like this that makes me grateful to have such amazing girl friends in my life.
And a REALLY cute new pair of shoes!!! Or two…

Discipline
I got an email from my wine club offering me a heck of a deal on a case of Big Ass Wines…
Then my horoscope said this:
Temptations are going to be popping up all over the place -- turn up the discipline.
DANGIT!!!
Alright, Alright…I’ll be good—*sigh*
