					<description><![CDATA[A recent trip across the water to Vancouver Island and a terrific author marketing conference was both enjoyable and exhausting. Thank goodness for the restfulness of the ferry rides coming and going over calm water. Alas, I saw no orca pods. I suspect they were elsewhere than along the route of the big ferries.

					<description><![CDATA[A recent visit to St. Simon&#8217;s Island, Georgia netted me an impromptu suntan. I never realized how intense the sun would be when I hunkered down on a bench to enjoy the sounds of the seabirds and watch the boaters putt-putting past, some of them intent on finding a good fishing spot, others simply enjoying ... <a title="The barrier islands off the Georgia coast" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2015/travels-and-tunes/the-barrier-islands-off-the-georgia-coast" aria-label="Read more about The barrier islands off the Georgia coast">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I recall when getting on a plane was the start of an adventure that began with a minimum of hassles during the boarding process, reasonably comfortable seats, free meals (even if the food wasn’t gourmet) and easily found luggage at the baggage claim areas. Not anymore. Take, for example, my most recent series of flights ... <a title="Why Air Travel Isn&#8217;t Fun Anymore" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2015/travels-and-tunes/why-air-travel-isnt-fun-anymore" aria-label="Read more about Why Air Travel Isn&#8217;t Fun Anymore">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although I’ve glimpsed them before, petroglyphs continue to amaze and intrigue. Most are quite old and reflect what was important to the American Indian groups that made them. While in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I jumped at the opportunity to check out a gathering of petroglyphs surrounded by a modern residential subdivision.

					<description><![CDATA[I have always been intrigued by the differences ( as well as the similarities between and across cultures.) For example, in so many cultures, breads are important additions to many meals. How many cultures can you think of that use a flat bread, often in a circular or oval shape?

As a result, I paid much closer attention to their games through the 2013 season. I was thrilled when they won the Super Bowl. Throughout the 2014 season, I have made a point of ... <a title="Fair Weather Fandom" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2015/sports-miscellany/fair-weather-fandom" aria-label="Read more about Fair Weather Fandom">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bisbee, AZ is at a much higher elevation than Phoenix, and located very near the Mexican border. When we arrived, one step outside the car rewarded us with far colder breezes than anticipated. After all, we figured that the farther south we went, the warmer it would be. However, I recall that it was 25 ... <a title="A Find I Never Expected &#8211; Bisbee, AZ" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2015/travels-and-tunes/a-find-i-never-expected-bisbee-az" aria-label="Read more about A Find I Never Expected &#8211; Bisbee, AZ">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A recent trip to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Scottsdale, Arizona, yielded a plethora of unique shapes&#8211;in spite of the unseasonably cold weather that had me thankful to have worn a parka. Ironwood shapes were an added set of sculptures that commemorated the contributions of Phil Hebets who, in 1980, “originated a tree boxing methodology ... <a title="Arizona Flora" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2015/travels-and-tunes/arizona-flora" aria-label="Read more about Arizona Flora">Read more</a>]]></description>

It’s hard to believe but sixteen years ago, I considered myself an original “April fool” for jumping into the real estate game—one reason related to my love of reviewing open houses when I was a teenager dreaming of what my house ... <a title="Real Estate and My Novels" class="read-more" href="https://katevale.com/2014/localisms/531" aria-label="Read more about Real Estate and My Novels">Read more</a>]]></description>
