I took this photo while spending an afternoon at the beach in Italy (if I remember correctly). The gal walking in the sand is one of several vendors that passed by numerous times. It seemed like someone would appear about every 15-30 minutes in an attempt to sell their wares. I don’t think they wereContinue reading “April 20, 2021 – Photo”

April 19, 2021 – Hawaiian Adventures
I consider myself very fortunate. I’ve had the opportunity to travel to many places over my lifetime. When I was a kid, I’d heard about Hawaii and yearned to go there someday. I grew up in a location where if you had to place a bet on the weather, if you bet on ‘rain’, you’dContinue reading “April 19, 2021 – Hawaiian Adventures”

If you ever get an opportunity to visit Yellowstone, don’t hesitate! However, if you choose to go and happen upon a bison (or several), do me a favor and stay in your vehicle. Do not get out of your vehicle and try to pose for a selfie (with the bison). If you do and windContinue reading “April 18, 2021 – Photo”
April 17, 2021 – Houseguest Etiquette
‘Pack it in, pack it out’ is a term that many people who hike and/or camp are familiar with. In essence, it applies to outdoor spaces and the condition you and I should leave them in when we actually ‘leave’. I interpret it to mean that whatever I bring with me in order to enjoyContinue reading “April 17, 2021 – Houseguest Etiquette”

I took this photo of a balsam root flower growing in a nearby field. It reminds me of the warm, sunny days that are yet to come.
April 15, 2021 – Painter’s Cramp
A few days ago, I intended to dedicate several hours towards painting my ‘Dancing Buskers’. After much deliberation, I thought changing the manner in which I was painting might help give me better insight on how to proceed. I know. It was a long shot but I was desperate and figured, “Why not?” The wayContinue reading “April 15, 2021 – Painter’s Cramp”

This photo was taken in 2012, when my husband and I went to Europe to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Ireland was one of the places on our itinerary and we couldn’t go all that way without stopping by Blarney. While there, we made a point to visit Blarney Castle as well as Blarney HouseContinue reading “April 14, 2021 – Photo”
April 13, 2021 – Things that make you go ‘hmmm’.
As much as I enjoyed dancing to C+C Music Factory back in the day, this post is completely unrelated to their hit song. It’s also not about my brother Turtle and how he turned my Hawaiian family vacation (with my husband and children) on its head. I had every intent on writing about it becauseContinue reading “April 13, 2021 – Things that make you go ‘hmmm’.”

This is a view of the Mediterranean Sea from Cinque Terre (five towns) in the region Liguria (Italy). If you ever have an opportunity to visit, I would highly recommend it. It is incredibly beautiful and picturesque. However, be prepared for a workout if you choose to go!
April 11, 2021 – Walking Into The Wind
I’m of a particularly gloomy disposition today and as much as I hate to admit it, I’m not done complaining. Lately, life feels much like ‘walking into the wind’. I try and power through it but the whole experience seems rather unpleasant. My body tenses, bracing against the continual gusts, and every now and then,Continue reading “April 11, 2021 – Walking Into The Wind”
