Time Warp

I lost my passwords...
I forgot and got busy and  ignored this little blog.
and then one day I was looking up HIITMAMAS blog and saw a link to my own blog.
I clicked..
It worked!

WOOOSH

TIME Warrrrpppppp.

 4 years since  I posted here?  so much has happened.

July 2010 I was laid off from an awesome job. It was difficult finding  work again in my field so I took a small business over from a friend  and set my own hours and I worked part time at Alta Ski Area.  Suddenly I was finding myself happier  doing things I enjoy. The money wasn't what it used to be but  it felt great NOT having the standard American schedule.

I kept up on my weight loss and skiing 100+ days  that season sure did help!
I met a great guy that season and we are still adventuring together.

My beloved grandson was born in 2011! what a joy, joy, joy!

Dave, his son, and I took a road trip to  Alaska in 2012.  We christened the  tent "the palace" after  one particularly brutal round with the monstrous mosquitoes in northern BC.  I think there are still a few blood smears on the inside roof of the palace!

 While  in Alaska the love of my life passed away... my father.  Cancer got the best of his body but  we all got the best of his heart.  our final conversation  was on Saturday July 28th, 2012. I sat on some rocks in a cove outside of Skagway AK. I had taken a small hike with Dax and told him stories about my youth.  It made me miss dad so I called him. I am so glad that I did.  He asked about some important things and when I told him I did not have the answers to his questions he said these  words... "Carrie, you gotta live your life."  Dad passed from this life into  heaven  the next morning. (long quiet pause)

I'm doing my best to live up to your advice, Dad...



More to come.
