The Mile High Club?

When two people engage in sexual activity in a plane traveling a mile above the earth, they become members of the mile high club. I’m wondering if that same moniker applies if the “mile high” is a mountain. […]

Downeast Downies

Joseph and I call it “the Downeast Downies” – reading the paper, watching TV, taking a nap or two, and just having a lazy day. It always reminds of that song from the musical Flower Drum Song (from […]

Rainy Last Day

The weather people were finally right…they said it was going to rain and it’s pouring down in buckets! We started getting some packing done and the cottage looks a mess. Time to go home… Joseph likes to “ease […]

Tilley Tuesday

I finally bought a Tilley Hat. I’ve resisted getting one for years, even though I’ve liked how Joseph looks in his. Until now, it just wasn’t for me. A baseball cap was all I wanted while hiking. OK, […]
