Day and Night

Posted in Uncategorized by adrianahartley

This was the view from my morning hike with friends. Isn’t it gorgeous? I love these walks so much and feel so energized afterwards. We all loved having time together again with our kids back in school.

This is the view from my night walk with Christian. He decided he wanted to go running, so we went out together. He ran around the track and I walked as I was still full from dinner. I’m loving this part of the transition and having a big kid. See, there are perks moving out of the golden years!!

Good night and good morning to all my Holland Friends! I hope you have a wonderful first day back at school and that you send pictures and share stories! Miss y’all!

Day 90 – It’s Raining…So What?

Posted in Uncategorized by adrianahartley

It was raining a bit this morning so it was too wet to play my tennis
match, but just right for a hike. Typically I would use the rain as
an excuse to hibernate, but not today. Michele would have been so
disappointed if I wimped out. You see, she “made” me step out of my
comfort zone to hike in the rain once before, even before I knew we
were moving to Holland. I would probably never have considered hiking
in the rain if it wasn’t for her. Plus, I needed to see her because
we’ve both been so busy that I hadn’t seen my hiking friend since
before our Amsterdam visit. So off we went, in the rain and had a
great non-stop chat and hike through Rancho San Antonio. The trails
were pretty empty and we saw a wild male turkey preening for the
atention of three females. Very cool. Thanks, Michele… I loved
today with you and can’t wait to go again!! xo

Day 96 – Silicon Valley

Posted in Uncategorized by adrianahartley

I love this place! It was such a gorgeous day out by the Stanford Dish. Hoover tower is out in the distance, as well as San Francisco Bay and surrounding cities. It was so hot though, but totally worth it to be outside. I love coming up here and hiking and chatting and admiring the views. Time flies. I have so many great memories from here – like when Stacey was pregnant with Miss C and we’d walk early in the morning before I went to work. And family walks, and fireworks before they put up fences, and my 40th birthday with Michele, and now today with Marcia. What a great day!! Don’t you want to walk down this path with me? Or maybe you’d rather walk up? Can’t wait to go again. xo
