What’s the best book you’ve read recently?

“The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse” by Charlie Mackesy. The story is about a young boy, a cake-loving mole, a cautious fox, and a sage horse who undertake an adventure together through the wilderness (literally and metaphorically). Along the way, they discover profound truths about life and friendship. I love how the book resonates with readers of all ages and how the ink illustrations illuminate the story. I’m also a big fan of the author because of his love for dachshunds, as I have two of my own!

If you suddenly found yourself with two hours of free time, what would you do with it?

I would go on an outdoor adventure with my husband, daughter, and two dachshunds . We would go for a long hike together as a family, and end the day with a picnic and a cold plunge into one of the many stunning alpine lakes in the valley. My favorite way to end a long hike in Grand Teton National Park is to stop by the “jumping rock” on the northern side of Phelps Lake, where locals and visitors use the boulder as a natural diving board.
