It will be a whole week that I’ve been in Maryland at today’s end….the time is flying!  It has been a week of fun with family and friends peppered with some business I needed to take care of.  I had some banking business this morning and found my first non-personal Bright Spot– Stephanie, who was assisting me, was telling me about her almost 2 year old (b-day is July 2) nephew and how he is just beginning to talk.  With her name being kind of long, she knew it wouldn’t be anytime soon that she heard it from hisRead More

    Bright Spot-I have arrived in the beautiful and safe state of Maryland after an unbelievably crazy afternoon in Manhattan at the Passenger Cruise Terminal!!!  WOW!  The crowds, the rushing, the noise…a bit of a culture shock after 43 days of laid back travel.  Whew!  I barely escaped with my life- LOL- my two daughters’ lives returning from the Bahamas and an unscathed Van-Go…more laughing out loud!  Pics…maybe tomorrow…can’t get them onto my memory card to upload…bummer!     My other daughter and my grandson, Cameron and his friend went out to get some dinner.  Ever go to aRead More

                                                       Happy June Everybody!    Sunday morning, I dragged my lazy self out of bed at 9:01!  It was that darn book…I was up to wee hours!  Oh, I forgot…I’m retired and I can get up whenever I want…Tee! Hee!  After breakfast, I grabbed my book and towel and headed to the pool passing some really lovely spots on the way.  There were a lot of people at the pool.  It was especially funRead More

A few hundred feet from the B&B just after sunrise    I just missed the actual sun peeping up over the horizon moment, but, nonetheless, the start of my day was amazingly beautiful and serene!  Walked to the lake, took pics, read my book and returned to shower and have a scrumptious breakfast served in elegant style by Jerry! Lake Ontario… yes, I’m sure… lol Bright Spot– Jerry shared that after many years of Claudine, his wife, raising the children while he worked, they decided to try to find a way to work together in a laid back kinda way.Read More

   Gotta love spontaneous decisions!  On my way to Sodus Point, NY, I caught a glimpse of a billboard along the highway that said, “Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame and Museum NEXT EXIT”! Well, alright, talked me into it!  Aborting the original plan of stopping at a lakeside beach resort on my way, I jumped off the exit in Cleveland, Ohio and “I got a ticket to ride”!  What fun it was! Videos and pictures and outfits and guitars of WAY back when it all began clear up to the present were available to see.  There were even musicRead More

                                                    A Case of Mistaken Identity     I get up this morning all psyched to go to the beach along Lake Huron…so what if I have to ride my bike up and down for 3+ miles each way…won’t be the first time…:)  I arrived to find just a lovely little beach with a swarm of little ones doing somersaults, playing tag and eating snacks.   Must have been a field trip…boy, were they adorable!Read More

 I’m catching up a bit here.  Yesterday morning was the first time I was able to see the campgrounds since I got in so late Tuesday night.  So I hopped on my bike and explored the place.  It was worth the ride…it is quite beautiful here.  The property is situated on the Huron River and many folks live here full time in their RVs as well as on the other side of the marina in more traditional houses.  It was a lovely day of exploring outside and inside and reading!

  Before I left the campground, I headed for the dunes and laid in the early morning sun.  I was feeling kinda silly and decided to take some self portraits….I ended up with something even more fun than that! Well, I started off zoned in on  moi and my cool “t”…lol Then I broadened my scope and noticed me taking a picture of me as reflected in the sand. Then…I found me in my shades! AND the sun peeking through the tree! THEN…when I saw a bunny in my shades, I knew it was time to end the photo shoot…LOLRead More

  What a fun-filled day!  I had breakfast with neighbors where I met Sandy, their friend.  She is from Australia and has a delightful accent!  She has 2 girls almost the same age as Emma and Leah.  We were talking about my journey and she told me of some great places to see in the Vermont/New Hampshire areas.  We had the big map and the campground directory going!  She was so helpful and very funny…it was a blast!  Then I hung out reading in my hammock which is always wonderful.      About 4:00 I made the deviled eggs forRead More
