On the Road
Last day in Ireland. Spent last evening at a musical pub crawl with my good friend Joanne. Lots of good music, Guiness, bangers (sausages) and chips. The musicians led us from pub to pub through Temple Bar, singing, performing, and telling us true tales of Irish history. One small girl on our tour got up Read More …
The other day, Ron Paul, Senator from Kentucky held forth in a filibuster for 13 hours!!! His point was political and after it was all said and done he was pleased with the result. I’m not questioning his politics, though there is a lot to question…. but it got me thinking. If you had a Read More …
The people next door are selling their house. I’d love to buy it but I do not have the flow of cash to secure the property…. sigh…. but it would be a good idea… Just think what I might do with a half acre on Cape Cod? You see there’s this empty lot behind the Read More …
It’s 77 degrees today…. just a little too cool for sunbathing at the pool. I just spoke with my friend who is trapped in heavy north bound traffic getting out of Boston for the weekend. Yikes! 27 degrees, cold, raw and miserable. So 77 degrees and a bit of an overcast does not sound too Read More …
I am sitting on the 9th floor balcony overlooking the 18th green. We are staying in the towers of Hammock Beach Resort in Jacksonville, Florida. The view is spectacular… the Atlantic Ocean is just beyond the fescu and short palms… rolling waves against a blue sky. I’m playing three days of golf this weekend… It’s the Read More …
June 16, Up at 4:38 a.m. !!! Long before dawn to see the sunrise over the Grand Canyon. Fabulous. Leaving Desert View at 6:36 a.m. on our way to Cameron, Arizona. And a debate: do we travel through the Painted Desert to Gallup or take the highway through the Petrified Forest? (Editor’s Note: unsure which Read More …
June 15, Destination Grand Canyon, AZ Slight delay before departure…. My sister decided to take a quick swim in the Colorado River before we headed out. We stopped for breakfast at the “76” They advertised “Good Food” so we took a chance. (Editor’s note: We discovered that the best food was always at Truck Stops!) Back Read More …
June 16 – at Park Moibi Recreational Area, Needles, CA We’ve spent the night on the edge of the desert. Pup tent is a little small but serviceable. Needles is a city located in the Mojave Desert—western banks of the Colorado River. Of course we have yet to eat at our little campsite. We lost Read More …
On the road again. Traveling is always a bit of a challenge for me… Trying to get everything ready before hand, work, home, friends, all the bits and pieces that make up a life… Trying to keep it all straight and not miss anything. This time I almost got it right. But yesterday as I Read More …
(This post was written a few days ago while still visiting Pepin Wisconsin. I could have decided to just forget it, but the experience was too fabu to ignore. Enjoy.) I am a wild child when it comes to dressing Wisconsin. Yesterday my sister and I set off down the dusty roads of Pepin to Read More …
