Someone (wish I had marked it) asked recently, "How do you dress to stay cool in this heat?!" For me, THIS is how I do it! Simple Simple Simple. Light flowy cotton dress and girly girl flip flops! Also, when it's hot, I just don't do a lot of accessories. Not that I accessorize very much to begin with, but to wear heavy necklaces when it's a sauna outside just makes me feel claustrophobic!
Yesterday, was a RED. LETTER. DAY!!! My sweet husband and I went hiking in the afternoon. We climbed down a crazy steep hillside to reach the Green River Narrows. After about 20 minutes of straight down we came upon this 40 foot rock face that we scaled down with the help of a rope. After that there were still 10 more minutes of steep downhill climbing (I guess that's what you'd call it) to reach the falls. It was a basic butt scoot most of the way down and then KILLER climbing back up! But the view was sooooo worth the effort! My husband and I took up hiking a few months ago and I can't tell you how much we LOVE it! The scenery is beautiful and we really enjoy having to climb things!! We got disgustingly dirty. I fell and skinned my knee and by the time we reached back up to the top, my legs were just a shakin'! I can't wait to go again this weekend!! I told my husband, "How cool is this?! Weekend fun on a Tuesday afternoon!!!"

| I can do this!!!! I felt like such a SHE STUD!!! |

| My honey made me stop part of the way up and turn around and smile so he could take my picture! NOT my best side, but just file this under "K" for "Keepin' it real!" |

I love this blog. The dress is so cute on you. I would have worn it then but I don't think I can do it at 66. Likewise the climbing. But it does look wonderful to be there.
