Sometimes one just needs to get away from it all for a minute. The hubby and I decided to take a quick fly in and out to one of our favorite cities (for me, it is my most favorite), New York City. We stayed a couple of blocks from Times Square rather in Midtown like… Continue reading A New York Jaunt

This is how it feels right now
I’m reposting a post from February 2020. This was, and will again, be our reality. A time when we have failed as a nation to live up to our ideals, and now begin anew a time in which a majority of our nation cares little about the Constitution, a time when people believe others deserve… Continue reading This is how it feels right now
A Tiny Break from Politics
Just a small respite from politics this week as I’m on vacation. I’ll be back to the usual next week. Here are a few pics from the “happiest” place on earth.

As are we all no matter our age. I’m sure I’m in the same boat with most parents… Continue reading Feeling a Little Wistful
Relaxed in New York
Last week I wrote about our first day in the Big Apple. I’m going to share the remainder of the trip today. All in all, it was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable of vacations yet. Saturday morning saw us meet up with family, Jack and Steve. They happened to be in the City… Continue reading Relaxed in New York
Brooklyn Bridge✅
The hubby and I are in New York. After 20+years together, this is our first trip alone! We’ve been all over, but always with friends or family. Hopefully he’ll be a good travel companion. The trip did start off a little shaky, due to me. I had in my mind what I thought was our… Continue reading Brooklyn Bridge✅
Graduation Day
Today is being spent attending my nephew’s graduation and travel. Be back next week.
