My Actifit Report Card: March 29 2026
Some days are just so full of activity that it makes your head spin. Like a day when you devote half of the day to attending a funeral, and another half a day doing various physical activities to recover

Fun in the snow: March 15 2026
At last, I’m trying to get back to posting after many weeks of being a slacker! It was a great day for exercise today, as I helped my husband plow and shovel about 10 inches of fresh snow off the driveway

Hello from Minnesota
These are some crazy days, right? The dramatic things happening here in Minneapolis have been augmented by the Super Bowl, the Winter Olympics (and Lindsey Vonn’s tragic crash), to make it a very newsy

Walking in the snow: December 3 2025
I have not been getting out for walks as much as usual lately! Between a recent health thing, lots of snow and cold weather and the busy holidays, I hit a lull in activity. But this evening I bundled up

The last yard cleanup before the snow: November 23 2025
Fall comes in waves where I live. We first start seeing some color in August. But the complete transformation takes about eight weeks, during which the trees are so vibrant, you almost need sunglasses

Hubby and I got out on our nearby trail at dusk and managed to get a few miles in! There were actually quite a few people out, especially cyclists and dog walkers. In fact, long after it seemed too late

Preparing for snow: November 16 2025
Here in Minnesota, it’s always a race to get the leaves gathered and the yards and porches and walkways and lawns tidied up before the snow falls. I think I did it! We had some beautiful days this weekend

A stroll on the shore of Lake Superior: October 26 2025
On my way home from my weekend get-away in Bayfield Wisconsin, I discovered a great little waterfront park and walking trail. I don’t think I had made it more than about a mile before I spotted it and

Glory Days: October 19 2025
We are in the peak days of autumn color here in Minnesota. The brilliant autumn colors in the bright sun cause this exhilarating feeling to well up in me that I can’t explain. It happens to me every year.

Okay, here’s the problem with pickleball, versus walking a trail, and all the other things I do for fun and exercise: I almost never take any pictures! I’m honestly too busy running around on the court.
