Hetch Hetchy – Yosemite without the crowds
I’ve visited Yosemite National Park 18 times since coming to California in 1988. It wasn’t until this past week that my family and I took the ‘road less traveled’ and entered the park via Evergreen Road about 30 minutes outside of Groveland, CA on Hwy 120. The winding 8 mile drive into the park is beautiful, pine laden National Forest land interspersed with a 2 mile stretch of private land with striking meadows.

Add in the Costco approach to bulk purchasing and it’s no wonder that bulk buying can be confusing by appearing to be more expensive ( how many 9V batteries did I… Read More
Should you be concerned about GMO foods?
Up until a few years ago I had no idea what Genetically Modified Organisms were and how the food we consume each day may or may not be genetically modified but that it was becoming more and more likely that at least some of what I was eating was, in fact, GMO. With awareness comes concern. There are studies that claim to substantiate how safe these foods are; there are an equal number that come to a different conclusion.
