“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” I love to travel near and far. This is where I will share my travel experiences with you. Of course, I hope you will share your travel experiences with me as well. How else will I know where to go next?
However you look at it, we are one quarter of the way through 2024. Shocking really. The good news…from my perspective at least…is that we are approaching one of the most beautiful periods of the year and also I am still going strong with setting and accomplishing my monthly goals. As a reminder, instead of…
Now that we’ve decided to go to the Grand Canyon this spring, the next big decision is which rim to visit. There are a number of factors that must be considered. For this summary, I will follow the compass around from north to west. The Grand Canyon North Rim The North Rim is the closest…
We’re two months into 2024, and for the most part, my brain seems to have caught up. I only occasionally still refer to 2023 in the date. And the really good news is I am on track to complete all of my February goals. While we still have a week left in this month, I…
Of course, when you spend a couple of weeks in beautiful Mazatlán, it’s easy to be grateful. I hope reading this blog post won’t be too much like being forced to sit through someone’s vacation slideshow. (Did I just date myself with the slideshow reference?) Anyway…without further ado… Thank you Mazatlán for the tasty food…
August was another joy-filled month. It took tremendous self-restraint to keep this post to a reasonable size, but I think I managed it. Fingers crossed! Thank you Brooke… …for inviting me to your wedding shower, and more importantly, for loving our grandson and not being scared off by our crazy (and I mean that in…
Warning: I had an eventful, joy-filled July, so I will be sharing more than my usual number of photos this month. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so this post will be photo-heavy and word-light. Thank you Bobbi… …for the fun red, white, and blue nails to help celebrate Independence Day. Thank…
Thank you desert flowers… …for making my morning walks a nearly spiritual experience. I love the wild flowers that Mother Earth freely offers up… …and those that require a little coaxing from us humans. I would be remiss if I didn’t also thank my eyes and brain for taking in this beauty. And while we…
You may have noticed (or not) that I have been absent from the Blogosphere for the last couple of weeks. We have been in Mazatlan, Mexico, celebrating the life of a dear friend. Making new friends, and embracing old friends. Eating, drinking, and being merry. Taking long, contemplative walks on the beach. Digging up treasures…
Evidently, the third time really is the charm. After two failed attempts (thanks to COVID), we finally fulfilled Mom’s request to scatter her ashes in Fairbanks, Alaska…to return her to her beloved after 63 years apart. I hope to have a novel inspired by her amazing life to share with you in the near future,…
I’m baaack… Well, sort of. As you may or may not have noticed, I took a couple weeks off from blogging. Hubby and I took a long-awaited and much-needed trip to Mazatlan, Mexico. We saw old friends we’ve been missing since COVID restricted travel. And made new friends, we hope to see more of in…
