We had a nice weekend… much of it with a “duck” theme. Why?  Because with our Five in a Row routine, we’re reading Make Way for Ducklings.   Since the ducks in this book have a treacherous walk to their new home, dodging cars and such, I thought of the perfect place to visit. There’s […]

Saturday we had an appointment to go and look at houses.  Prior to meeting our realtor I suggested we go and track down a letterbox series that is in Mount Dora.  The family who planted the boxes is known as 3P’s In a Pod and I recently started reading their blog.  FYI… this post contains […]

Friday night we all loaded up in the car and headed to EPCOT.  Everything was in place for us to have a wonderful evening.  Instead, we froze to death and each of us tried to “one up” the other when it came to seeing who could complain more than whom.  Just sayin’. Spaceship Earth Spaceship […]

On Thursday Lisa, Lori and Michelle were planning a big, long hike to Pinnacle Point via Indian Gardens.  For various reasons it was decided that I would not hike that day.  Instead, I took off in the rental car and headed to the Arizona/Utah border and had a great adventure. There was one notable exception […]

This was the first time I had seen the Grand Canyon. I was thrilled. View from Mather Point View from Mather Point View from Bright Angel Lodge Grand Canyon at Sunset View from Desert View including the Colorado River Cedar Mount as seen from Desert View All Along the Watchtower….the Watchtower at Desert View   […]

We had a wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon.  It was so beautiful and I’m just thrilled that we went.  We had a ball. These next few posts will be about our trip…. so if vacation photos aren’t your thing…just pass on by. First up… the travelers Lori & Michelle in Phoenix Lisa & Me […]

Yesterday was a great day to play hookie.  Lisa suggested that we pack up Isaac and Anna Grace and head down to Winter Haven.  So… Anna Grace skipped school and we headed off. The weather was beautiful, the park was beautiful and we had a great time.  But… we fear that Cypress Gardens may be […]

Anna Grace and I spent our days trying to stay dry for much of the week.  But, when in Washington, you don’t have the luxury of waiting for “proper” weather.  So, many of our adventures had to take place in the rain and fog. This included a trip to Vashon Island. For the non-Washington folks… […]

We had a nice time in Washington.  We went to Enumclaw one evening and enjoyed visiting with our old neighbors.  That was a hoot.  Then another night we went over to Lorette & John’s for dinner.  It was so nice to visit with Lorette again and Anna Grace grew a bit attached to their dog […]
