Sunday Sweet Sunday

We had a relatively lazy day today. We did my favorite Sunday morning things: watched Sunday Morning, read the paper (the actual paper), and watched the Sunday morning political shows. By early afternoon we were in Bar Harbor […]

I Confess…

It’s My Dirty Little Secret OK, we all have one. I’m confessing mine. It’s television shows. And not just any television shows. Mindless ones. It’s an addiction…no, it’s my tranquilizer. Some people drink, others smoke or take drugs, […]

Seen Me on YouTube?

I thought this morning’s wet, rocky and steep climb up Day Mountain was a challenge. It was nothing compared to what happened this afternoon. We were invited to join a couple we know (I’ll call them Cathy and […]

Day Mountain Hike

You know how I believe in victory stretches? Today I got two chances to get out of my comfort zone and stretch into some bigger experience! We’re already feeling sad that vacation is almost over, and we’re determined […]
