These past few weeks have been hectic and crazy but a lot of fun too. I am so glad and relieved that April is over and now I can look forward to warmer temperatures, a somewhat back to normal routine and summer vacation for the kids. A lot has happened here at the Talbert Zoo. We went on a family vacation to Arizona and soaked up the heat and sunshine. We visited the Grand Canyon and the Painted Dessert. The following weekend we had a quiet Easter celebration with the…

Read MoreLive Every Day Like it is Your Last
When I woke up this morning I went downstairs, brewed my coffee and turned on the local news like I do every single day. The first thing I heard on the news was that there was two separate fatal car accidents that occurred earlier that morning. Traffic in and around Spokane usually isn’t too bad so a car accident of any kind is big news. It really got me thinking. The first thing that came to my mind was Tim McGraw’s song, “Live Like You Were Dying.” As my 36th…

After my in-laws left last night my Stress, Stress and More Stress has eased. I love my in-laws and they are great people I was just extremely busy cleaning my home and preparing for their visit so blogging was temporarily put on the back burner. My parents are coming out to visit this Saturday for Kitty’s First Holy Communion, but my housework is minimal due to the fact that I just completed a very thorough cleaning for my previous guests.

Read MoreArizona Vacation Part Five
The Grandest Adventure of Them All! Yesterday we visited the Grand Canyon National Park. The kids have very short attention spans and it doesn’t take long for them to get bored so we stayed for only a couple of hours. The Grand Canyon was formed two billion years ago when tectonic plates moved slowly across the earth’s surface. A plate carrying an island chain and the plate that became North America collided. The heat and pressure from this process changed the existing rock layers into dark metamorphic rock, which is…
Read MoreArizona Vacation Part Four
We are nearing the end of our family vacation. The kids are tired and yesterday they did not behave. Just about everything that you can imagine could go wrong on a family vacation happened yesterday. Chris decided we would go and see the painted dessert. He said it was on his bucket list, although I was not aware of this stop until yesterday. We left sunny, warm Phoenix at 10 am and headed north east towards Flagstaff, Arizona. The three hour drive up into higher elevation was very scenic. Once…
