I can’t believe it’s been 9 months since I posted anything! Now that I’m a home owner, life as I knew it… is over. LOL! I’ve become horribly boring – a real fuddy-duddy, actually… even going so far as to buy POWER TOOLS! Luckily,…

It’s been a busy summer since my last post. As many of you know, I was diagnosed with breast cancer this spring. I had a unilateral mastectomy back in July where they removed my right breast and 14 lymph nodes. After testing the lymph…

Let’s start with the worst news first. 1: My sister passed away May 7th after a long illness at the age of 60. Hopefully she’s now found the peace that evaded her in life. I’ll be doing a post later on just how sadly…

So, I FINALLY made it to Big Stone Gap, Virginia where I’ll be spending the next 2-3 months. It’s a lovely area surrounded by forested hills and the temperatures range from 30’s – 40’s at night and 60’s – 70’s during the day –…

So, in all the time that I’ve been here in Port Orford, I never took a tour of the lighthouse or the Huges House located in the state park. It took the visit of a vacationing friend to get me inside! Here’s a bit…

Well, it’s been wetter and windier than normal here on the coast of Oregon but summer is finally getting here! I’ve been pretty busy with work so I don’t have any new places to show (yet) but thought I’d share a few pictures of…
So this is my second to last day in New Hampshire. While I haven’t been able to do as much exploring as I normally would due to Covid-19 restrictions, it’s been a fantastic summer (albeit a few too many 90 degree days with 100%…
Here’s a quickie! This was a beautiful hike that I took with Teddy after I gave him a bath at the “self dog wash” place down in Gold Beach – which is about 30 minutes south of here. It’s an approximately 2.5 miles out…
