Hiking

I have recently discovered that I love hiking, in part because I've been participating in a hiking club with some old co-workers this summer. Today we went on a hike at the top of Mount Evans, by Echo Lake. It was super long! We hiked 7-8 miles and were out just about all day.

So the good?

  • Exercise in a non-boring way
  • Having fun!

Sorry family, expect homemade things for Christmas and birthdays this year... I'm having way too much fun to stop! My Mother-in-law Karen has a Kindle Keyboard and a Kindle Fire. Conveniently, both devices have almost the same dimensions. Sweet! So I made her a soft case for whichever one she chooses. Jason went to the fabric store with me and helped pick out the fabric. He specifically wanted something purple. We picked the outside fabric first, then had a bit of trouble finding a coordinating fabric for the lining. When Jason saw this...
