My husband, Jeff, and I helped with the Girls On The Run 5K this past weekend, spreading cheer, water and orange paint on all that passed our 2-mile station. Managing Director, Cathy Nikolaisons ran past with her family. We even got a chance to catch up with dear friends visiting from Florida. They are enjoying the next-best-thing to living here, a month long vacation rental!

This annual baseball weekend brings 20 teams of 9-10 and 11-12-year-olds and their families from all over Idaho to the Wood River Valley. This is the 45th year, which makes it my 25th as an official scorekeeper. It's amazing to watch the kids come and grow through our community!
