Fun Family Reunions

I’m so excited about aging with grace as I turn 67!  Cruising the Pacific we rocked the waves as we met up with friends and family. My 2018 birthday was divine as we enjoyed touring several ports with my best friend, my travel buddy, my prayer partner, my adoring husband Michael.  We may be able…

1900 Optimisim

The good old days of the 1900’s are remembered as a time of optimism.  The White House only had one guard at night who retired early.  Trains took people on vacation away from the snow.  California, Florida and Arizona were destinations for sunshine while electric fans kept them cool.  The public was in AWE of …

Cliff Hanging

Sitting on the edge, my twitch morphs into woebegone.  Grab and grapple with self-inflicted quirks. Stuck in mind games on the island of feeling. Fingertips pulse again.

The Colorful Architecture of Mexico

Rich colors and shrunken architectural designs found in Ajijic, Jalisco. It is an 800 year old fishing pueblo that only changes in color. Beautiful? Driving down Calle Juarez on Mother’s day – May 10th in San Nicolas de Ibarra.  It looks like it was taken in the 1950’s in Black and White. Same casa in…
