I had a 'spirit' moment a couple years ago when I was visiting my daughter in BC. We went for a long walk - Mary, her husband Greg, 3 year old Layla and baby Baron in a stroller. The walk took us along the Okanaghan River on a sparkling warm day. Their big Bull Mastiff, Chester, lumbered into the water, followed by Mary and Greg, conveniently wearing shorts. On an impulse I ran into the river too - shoes, socks, slacks, blouse and all. The kids were shocked that I'd do such a thing at my age (!) and still talk about it. It was great fun and I have pictures to document it.Pat MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497617342638521940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-41840485118341700112011-05-10T11:57:31.791-04:002011-05-10T11:57:31.791-04:00Fun post!

Hubby couldn't go because of work so son and me drove, which was an experience for me since I had never done this by myself without hubby and son who had his driver's license was able to help drive. We had a great time, laughed a lot, made memories we laughed about for a time afterwards. I was so worried about the driving alone like that but it worked out great! <br /><br />I know your trip to Alaska is something you will always think about with the bestest of memories!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-15043248922355981932011-05-09T22:37:36.376-04:002011-05-09T22:37:36.376-04:00LOVE your new blog look!

I always wanted to go to Alaska and YES, I often do things out of the box and am blessed with a colorful family history. Sounds like a very entertaining read! I loved Fried Green Tomatoes, both the book and the movie...did you ever see that movie called "Shirley Valentine"??? I loved it - it's on the same principle as going to Alaska by yourself...watch it if you have not seen it yet!Doris Sturmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383495196401230783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-6086130230214421032011-05-09T16:21:27.706-04:002011-05-09T16:21:27.706-04:00Hi Sandie, I think (hope) there is a child in all...Hi Sandie, I think (hope) there is a child in all of us ---waiting to pop out.. I have always been one to step out of my box and do things that others may not do... In 2000, I bought a new car and took a long journey by myself across country visiting family and friends along the way. It was an awesome experience.<br /><br />Glad you got some new dishes --but you can still use paper plates when nobody is looking. I won't tell---I promise!!!!!
