  • So the thing about lists

    I wasn’t quite sure how to start this one out…perhaps something like this: During an afternoon Zoom chat group, the topic of lists came up and I said quite innocently that I don’t make lists. The group got very quiet…one person shyly spoke up and said, “you are truly living life on the edge!” That’s Read more

  • Gloucester, Mass…Glawster

    The oldest seaport in the United States…Gloucester shares the land point with Rockport. We are at that point of the vacation where we are ready to head home….still enjoying the sites but less zealous….. We stayed overnight in an out of the way hotel…the Sea Lion. It was quiet and outdated and comfortably simple. My Read more

  • Northeast Harbor and Producer Dick Wolf

    The trip to Pemaquid lighthouse was my favorite day until we made the Northeast Harbor our 2 day home. Northeast Harbor is on Desert Island which is also home to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We drove through Bar Harbor…it was beautiful…packed with tourists from two cruise ships in the harbor. It was unbelievably busy. Just Read more

  • Acadia National Park

    Mostly pictures here…they tell the story We bought walking sticks The trees were beginning to turn! Next week will probably be perfect! We did not do Cadillac Mountain for the sunrise. We basically did the park loop. It is beautiful. Read more

  • What the Maine coast looks like…granite

    We took a day trip away from the hustle and bustle of Boothbay Harbor…over to Pemaquid Lighthouse… The travel time consuming aspect of the Maine Coast is driving down into each peninsula or Island to see things shore related. But also these little side trips south give you the opportunity to slow down and relax Read more

  • ….for a few minutes I lost trust in humanity

    After the whale watching expedition….(picture) I was just content knowing I was going to be off the boat in a few minutes, we went to a restaurant nearby…see my across body purse there….Apparently I took it off in the restaurant when I dug out my “no interest for a year”discover card and left it in Read more

  • She suggested I ask my guides for one more sign

    Cats fed yesterday morning around 7…suitcases in our car…He started the car and the low tire pressure light was on. UGH…so we decided to take the loner car to the airport for our trip to Maine. I didn’t really want to drive it and leave it in economy parking for the week…I seriously have no Read more

  • What are you thinking about?

  • Not all who Wander…..

    I wish I had asked my dad why he moved two hours away from his family in the 40s.  If you knew my dad, you would understand that he was a homebody for the most part…didn’t particularly need or want friends…at least in the years he was my dad.  We took 2 week family vacations Read more

  • ……and on the topic of traveling alone

    On my trip to Des Moines on Tuesday, I was in a really strange place.  My spirit felt free yet I was letting fear seep in about the upcoming chest X-ray.  I always listen to my music playlist when I’m in the car alone so I decided to crank it up and and fly.  THIS Read more
