Simply - new tires

Na - not for Vantucket!  For me <grin>!
I'm a little less than a week away from another kewl step in my hiking passion life. There is a short overnight circuit hike planned for early next week. Especially if the weather cooperates.

So hiking boots come and go. They wear out. On my 2011attempted AT ThruHike I wore Keen sandals and SmartWool trekker socks. Arizona is very different and I wanted a little more protection.  You know from cactus thorns and rocks. So being the budget shopping goddess that I am. I did some online research and then went shopping.  At Payson's Big 5 store, I found these sturdy, well soled boots on sale. I do love a sale. Crazy or not I paid around $40 for my new treads. I got a few miles on them today with Ozzie's class and a mile and a half walk back to the van which was at the auto shop for one more check.

I'm so excited about next weeks hike!

Simply,
Lesa

PS I used to take and post pictures of my feet similar to this picture while I was in a hammock!

Keep it Simple - huh?

 Good morning friends,  I'm so often talking about keeping it simple and every once in a while in my own life I realize that I've gotten beyond Simple and made things too complicated in everyday life. Sometimes it looks like the way that I choose to make coffee one day or the items that I decide I want to bring into my life and then I have to reevaluate and maybe let some things go. Sometimes they simply just find myself a little settled a little bored almost and I hunt for ways to make everything better. I find it amazing the few times in my life when I've realized I have everything I need I have enough I don't need a bigger income I don't need another kitchen item I don't need a new shirt I don't need a different new food in my diet. There's a satisfaction that comes with realizing that I have enough I am enough I have a stable life and stable friendships but even if some of them are silly ones I have a balance of helping others and self-care. sure the
