:: May & June 2017 ::
A key element of the leadership
program (that I am project
managing and will be facilitating and
was participating in the pilot) is
doing a "leap of faith" climbing a
tree, standing on a tiny platform 30
feet up and jumping out to grab a
trapeze bar.

I love this stuff and was the first
person of our group to take the leap

One last early morning run along the
lake
One of my most beloved
colleagues and friends - MM




And then I needed a break and to
be where people were not.
Loved climbing the hill behind the
resort to find this gorgeous view.
MM invited me and Nikki, my
manager, to spend the weekend
at her vacation home in Graeagle.
I LOVED spending time with them
in this beautiful area. We had a
lovely hike to Sierra Buttes,
stopping for lunch and beer and
lots of gabbing
On Sunday I had brunch with Kim!
One of my most dearest, beloved,
cherished friends.

We had only TWO hours to get
caught up on 15 years. We
couldn't catch our breath - we
talked and talked and giggled. Just
like old times
And then I spent the rest of
Sunday with the Hammonds! It
was like no time had passed. I
love Anne, she is one of my
dearest friends. She has always
been a huge part of our children's
lives and she makes the world a
better place with all her do
gooding. The world needs more
people like her.
I also got to spend time and get
to know Max and Abby. Wonderful
young adults. Baaby as we called
her when she was a baby was
Zaven's twin - every other bb
photo of Zaven includes Abby.
And Mike and Scout. I love them
all and I am so grateful for their
friendship.

Rhonda Gras 2017!

This is my 50th year and I wanted
to spend it with my best
girlfriends from around the world.  
Joe is head down in the books and
happy I am out of his hair. BUT
we are going to Dubai in July and
he bought me a lovely gift so he is
very much a part of Rhonda Gras
2017

I went to Valencia with Sindy

Tel Aviv with Lori

And this last trip with HP allowed
me to spend time with a few more
of my dearest friends.

Upper right Sierra Buttes north of
Tahoe, California

I was in Tahoe for a leadership
development pilot and then
headed to Palo Alto for another
leadership development program.

PS I love this little guy - Scout
Hammond
I landed at SFO around 1.00 PM
and was worried I would be too
tired to drive all the way to
Granlibakken. The Hammonds let
me give them a drive by for a
quick rest and refresh.


Morning run. Freezing, still have
snow on the ground. No bears or
bigfoot. But lots of huge trees
and pinecones.
