the lemon squeeze (not squeezeR).

Posted on June 27, 2025August 7, 2025by sarah

for this years family vacation, we kept things simple. a week in the adirondacks, followed by a week in western new york. and since we were going to the adirondacks first, our route would take us through the catskills, right past a hike i long ago placed on my bucket list. in 2016, when we […]

hanging rock kidnapping.

Posted on March 5, 2024December 30, 2024by sarah

i’ll spare you a long commentary about this day. basically, anna had a sleepover with her friend. in the morning, i gave them the option of me taking the friend home and going hiking alone, or them both coming hiking with me and the friend going home later. they chose the hiking. or were coerced […]

grandfather mountain hiking adventure.

Posted on October 29, 2022January 21, 2023by sarah

derek’s parents generously gifted us a weekend at a resort in blowing rock for the last weekend of october. my only request (demand) was that we plan one outdoor activity, and not just end up eating out and shopping the entire time. derek did the research and settled on a hike at grandfather mountain. before […]

autumn apple picking in the sweltering heat.

Posted on September 4, 2022January 19, 2023by sarah

firstly. i do realize that i’m like five months behind in my blogging. again. so, my recollection of the happenings for some of the next dozen or so posts is a little foggy. bear with me. every year, at the end of summer, i am often found lamenting the scorching heat in north carolina, during […]

Posted on July 27, 2022August 31, 2022by sarah

camping with the old step-aunt (and friends).

Posted on June 24, 2022July 13, 2022by sarah

a few weeks ago, my step dad’s sister, karyn, rolled into town for a visit. she was on a two week rv trip with her youngest daughter, her friend, and her friend’s daughter. karyn is quite a bit younger than my step dad, closer to my age, so it’s always fun to refer to her […]

stone mountain, attempt three.

Posted on March 27, 2021May 14, 2021by sarah

Thanks to my new status as unemployed, on the first beautiful day after I turned in my equipment, the Lidkids and I headed for the mountains. We opted for Stone Mountain, which we have done a few times before, and is about 4.5ish miles and 1000 feet of elevation gain. Hazel had never gone with […]
