Postcards from Friends and Family: Europe


 This year, I am showing all postcards that have been sent to me by my friends and family!






Happy Hike-a-Thon!  I'm working to raise money for Washington Trails Association through Hike-a-Thon. This August. I'll be hitting the trail to support the outdoor experiences I love so much. Will you join me in supporting trails by making a donation to my Hike-a-Thon fundraising page? Even a small donation will help me achieve my goal!  Thanks so much for your support.

Thank You so much to Judy, Sharon, Janet and Suzi and Harry for already donating to WTA Hikeathon this year!! 2024 is going to be a great year!!




I had a fabulous time hiking in Tenerife, the Canary Islands, Spain earlier this year



Hiking in a dress and sandals in Michigan on Mackinac Island last fall

Wow, has it been 19 YEARS??? I have been participating in the WTA hike-a-thon??!! I guess so. 
Well, I am still planning on getting at least 50 miles in for the month of August and I hope to raise $1,000 for Washington Trails Association. 

It is easy to donate by following the link on the internet or you can send me a check (made out to WTA (Washington Trails Association) or just a dollar in the mail would be very welcome. Thanks so much to everyone who has supported this cause in the past and hopefully again this year!

And I know a bunch of folks are not happy that I am not doing my reading list anymore. For a twist, if you would like, send me your name and address and I will send you a book that I read in 2024 that I enjoyed. You can specify a genre if you wish.
