I was away last weekend so I wasn’t able to share my small pleasures of that week but I will include some from last weekend and this week.
1. We went on a 4 hour road trip to Pendleton, OR where we attended a 3 day Red Cross training academy. The drive there was absolutely beautiful as we drove through the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Route. We saw some spectacular scenery, waterfalls, and sunsets.
2. During the academy I took a Defensive Driving class and the following day I took and passed my Red Cross ERV (Emergency Response Vehicle) driving test. There are just a few more classes I need to take to get certified. I also got a certificate in Shelter Fundamentals & Exercise. Exciting stuff.
3. I have an upcoming trip to look forward to. I got a ticket to fly to Mexico City in April to visit family and friends and of course enjoy tons of delicious food, good conversations and possibly some museums or some other fun places in Mexico City.
4. Did a Trader Joe’s run. We don’t have one in our area and we were near one the other day so we stopped to buy a few kitchen staples. I love this store, it’s been a while since I last went. I also discovered a product, the mango & cream frozen bars are delicious. The taste reminds me of the mangoes in India.
5. Had a nice date night dinner with hubby on Friday at the Rock Creek Tavern and had their seasonal pomegranate hard cider, delicious!
6. Bought five beautiful tulips.

A New Life Wandering 
Have a great time in Mexico. I hope we’ll get to read a lot of posts about your trip….
Thanks! I hope I get some good material for the blog too 🙂
What a lot to pack in! Love that Columbia River route too. I was surprised to see how undeveloped it was. Hope it stays that way.
Congratulations on the certification, so cool! Have fun in Mexico!
Thank you! It was quite an achievement for me 🙂
