Welcome to my weekly update for February 18, 2024! On our second day in Florida a couple of weeks ago, we just took our time driving down through the Keys. I’ve only made the trip one time and that was with my in-laws. We were able to stop and look around a little more freely this time on our […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 11, 2024! I missed posting the past couple of weeks because we were in south Florida to do some touristy things and then visit my in-laws. We visited Biscayne National Park and went snorkeling our first day. I would not recommend snorkeling in January, even […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 21, 2024! My great-uncle (my grandmother’s brother) passed away on Monday. He had been sick for a while so it wasn’t unexpected but somehow death is still a shock, isn’t it? I rented a little place from him back when I was a single girl and the first couple […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 14, 2024! We’ve had lots of rain this week, which we do need, but not quite so much at one time. Several areas were flooded but luckily we were okay and it was nothing that was widely catastrophic. The rain did make running errands pretty miserable […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 7, 2024! Last week was fairly quiet as I was just trying to catch up on things after the holidays. We’re currently near Asheville, NC, my hometown, for a few months with my husband’s job. We’re not finished traveling but we decided that he could work closer […]
I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful holiday week! We had a nice Christmas weekend with my parents and then my sister and her husband joined us there on Christmas Eve. We spent Christmas day at home but my sister came over in the afternoon. We introduced her to the Hogwarts Legacy game and […]
Welcome to my weekly update for December 24, 2023! We’re spending today with my parents and my sister and her husband. My husband and I will exchange gifts tomorrow, barring any calls for him at work. My favorite part of Christmas with my parents is our giant Christmas breakfast. My mom makes bacon gravy […]
Welcome to my weekly update for December 17, 2023! Well, I’ve posted a few times but my last actual update was on August 20. Oh boy. I truly admire those of you who regularly post and comment on so many other blogs. I just cannot find a routine that works for me. But I’m here today […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 20, 2023! I hope those of you in the path of tropical storm Hilary are staying safe. We’ve been keeping an eye on it because my husband’s cousin and his family live in San Diego. They’re all good so far. We’re supposed to get some rain off the storm here in northern Idaho on Monday. We […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 13, 2023! My husband had a long weekend last weekend so we drove the scenic International Selkirk Loop. A lot of it was along Kootenay Lake in British Columbia. We’ve been lucky to avoid most of the wildfire smoke here in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho but we noticed it as soon as we crossed into […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 6, 2023! I don’t have any trips to write about this week so I’m going to post a plug for one of my friends instead. I’ve known Jessica Zellers since high school, when we were in band together. She recently launched her own editing company, Blue Legend Manuscript Services. She worked as a […]
