Today I decided to take things slow and enjoy the simple pleasures of being aliveandthriving here in the Ozarks. My first stop was a special place for me and @madame-cyntaia. This is a seasonal creek,

It’s been a bit rainy here in the Ozarks the last couple days, but this morning it looked beautiful so I decided to chance it and go. The sun breaks lasted about five minutes, ghen then the rain came again.

Today started off early, watching @madame-cyntaia head off to work at 5:45am. After slamming down a couple cups of the good stuff, I decided to hit the trails before it got too hot and humid, and usually

Today I didn’t get up and moving fast enough to beat the heat and humidity so I decided to do a quick paved trail hike instead of going through the forest. The planters at the park had some nice flowers

Yesterday I spent the night in the big city with @madame-cyntaia for my birthday. So when she had go to work early this morning I hopped in the car and made the long haul back here to Ozarklife. After

Woke up early today to hang out with my lovely wife before she headed to the big city for the work week, she leaves Monday morning and comes home Friday evening. After saying goodbye I toasted some bagels

Today @madame-cyntaia and I had a quick breakfast then headed out for a local #ozarklife hike. Tagging along as always was Mrs Mia our curious little pup. It was a beautiful morning, not to hot and a bit

Today I woke to the birds chirping, welcoming the bright morning sun. With the power of coffee and a good breakfast @madame-cyntaia and I took Mrs Mia for a walk. The morning was still cool and we decided

There has been plenty of rain here in Ozarklife this spring, the seasonal creeks are full and making peaceful bubbly sounds. With the sun shining down, and Mrs Mia with fresh dose of flea and tick medicine

Today was scheduled to be off but wouldn’t ya know it my hostess had to turn into a dishwasher and a server called in, so off to work I went. Everything went well and some of the guests left sweet treats

Ah, to be up before the break of day coffee in hand looking forward to an aliveandthriving day here in Ozarklife. The sunrise was nice today, but not as bright as some mornings. Not too bad for just wandering

Hello Actifriends as you all know usually I love to tell you all about the beauty and all the wonderful things about Ozarklife. Today was a very blunt reminder that I’m no longer in the PNW. Today a regular

Well hello actifriends it’s been awhile. Things have been busy here in ozarklife with madame-cyntaia going back to college and me still doing the restaurant manager thing, no worries though we are

Today I woke up wide awake and ready to face the world. I woke up the kiddo for school and started preparing for the day. As I looked around outside as the sun was rising I noticed an explosion of colors

I spent my day working the restaurant floor, managing the front of house staff and checking in with guests to ensure that they were getting both good food and service. It was a slow one today but it is

Hello again actifriends and hivers it’s been a crazy long time since my last post. As expected after starting the manager position I’ve been working over 60 hrs a week and trying to make time for everything

Turned out to be another 22000 step day at work, and to be honest there seems to be no end in sight. Today I decided to do what I thought I would never do again…. Become a restaurant manager. This is supposed

Well boy howdy, that was indeed a long 9 hr shift, no breaks no food just 22000 steps and a pocket full of tips. Everything worked out well though and tonight’s sunset certainly put on a show for us tonight

After a bit of breakfast I headed out for a quick hike on the trails here in Ozarklife. It was beautiful and sunny, but quite cool. Last week we had temperatures in the 90s today we couldn’t get above

I started the day nice and early today with a 5:30 am alarm. With my lovely wife @madame-cyntaia in the big city the last couple nights it’s been up to me to get the teenage kiddo up and moving for school
