Geology Rocks! ;)

I do enjoy actual hiking. You know, the kind where you fill a backpack with granola bars and flashlights and put on your ugliest shoes with the thickest soles and head off to face nature like a mountain man. I love that kind of hiking.

But I must say, a casual sauntering down gorgeous Smith Rock State Park as a quick escape from a beautiful cabin at a resort in Central Oregon works just fine for me too. Pleather Pants, Ugg boots and faux-fur jackets are allowed during that kind of hiking. And in the name of being inclusive, we were sure to bring them along during our jaunt in the middle of our cabin getaway retreat weekend.

Have a wonderful Monday. And of course RIP Whitney and yes, Adele is amazing (ESPECIALLY that eye makeup!). That sums up the weekend in entertainment news without adding yet another blog to sift through dedicated to those two topics.

That's all folks!
