* Full-color coffee-table quality hiking guidebook with lush, hand-drawn trail maps * Written by Washington's godfathers of hiking guidebooks, Harvey Manning and Ira Spring * In a state rich with luscious trails, these hikes are the ones you can't miss (or, at least, must start with) 100 Classic Hikes in Washington is the progeny of Washington's first hiking guidebook, and is the best-selling guidebook of all time. There's a reason: it's gorgeous. The photos of trails and vistas are breathtaking. These are hikes you will want to hike, dream about hiking, or both. Based on their more than 100 years of combined experience in Washington's backcountry, Ira Spring and Harvey Manning chose their favorite trails for this compendium of classic hikes. Along with the images and hand-drawn maps, you'll get the authors' first-hand descriptions of the trails they hiked many times over. Featuring spectacular views, flower-filled alpine meadows, lakes and streams, ancient forests, animals and birds, and solitude, these trails will give hikers a taste of Washington's best. Infused with a strong conservation message, this guidebook not only introduces hikers to Washington's gems but encourages them to become active participants in an effort to preserve and, in some cases, reclaim the remaining wilderness.

Humor and joy abound in this entertaining look at senior life. From handling day-to-day foibles to connecting with your kids and grandkids, gentle humorist Karen O'Connor keeps you smiling, laughing, and appreciating the wisdom that comes with experience. My Favorite Senior Moments encourages you to look on the sunny...and funny...side of the street and enjoy the benefits of living long, including... chuckling at how God uses children to remind you of His blessings discovering that love and romance have no time limits navigating today's technology...with the help of grandkids remembering penny loafers—even if the salesperson doesn't enjoying new adventures and appreciating familiar ones God is with you every step of the way, and these vignettes full of character and wit prove it.

While growing older certainly has its benefits, its downside poses big challenges. Physical decline; loss of spouses, relatives, and friends; memory lapses; feelings of inadequacy or uselessness--such things can give us those "senior moments" that sidetrack us with fear and worry. In this sequel to her bestselling book, Karen O'Connor brings even more encouragement to people in their golden years, prompting them to reflect, laugh, play, and take both burdens and joys to the Lord who cares for them.

Nostalgia, learning experiences, meaningful memories... This book is filled with these from a man who grew up in a strong Irish-Catholic community in the North End of Saint John in the 1950s and 1960s, went on to practise law and then become a law professor and consultant in Toronto, and most recently, joyfully embraced RVing and living in an active retirement community. But besides dusting these memories off for enjoyment, John G. Kelly has a larger purpose. By cleverly showing how his past experiences and even his F.A.I.L.s (first attempts in learning) have positively impacted his future, he demonstrates how we can all learn from our past and use this knowledge to live life to the fullest as a member of an active, caring community. Filled with humorous anecdotes, recollections of a bygone era, reflections on community, and a unique outlook on how to get the most from life, Meaningful Memories has something for anyone who likes a good story. However, for anyone from Saint John, New Brunswick (or who grew up in any of the Atlantic provinces for that matter), fellow RVers, or 65+ young/olds (YOLDS) looking to enjoy active retirement to the fullest, you will not be able to put this book down!
