Phil and I will soon be headed north to our home in Golden Valley, Minnesota. We look forward to our scenic route home. Weather here in Florida was unseasonably cool until now….and it has really heated up. There were warm sunny days in January and February, but now the sun shines most days and the…

We begin our journey from our home in Golden Valley, Minnesota to Lauderhill, Florida. It is a rainy day, but we don’t care….we are on the road. I took this photo from inside the truck as Phil was driving. The rain had stopped for a minute and the road looks like glass. Along with the…

DULUTH, MINNESOTA Our first night in Duluth was spent at the Pier B Hotel located on Lake Superior.  (Notice that I took my photo while taking Phil’s. And Phil’s shirt and socks are not as blue as in the photo……they are really white).  Just after the sun had set, the hotel built bonfires near the…

Steve Schussler’s career began with his creation of The Rainforest Cafe. Many of us have had a meal with a jungle experience at this restaurant at the Mall of America. The Boathouse at Disney Springs, Florida is another of Schussler’s many creations. The Boathouse offers “dream boat” rides on the water. These Amphibian cars are…

It never seems like a REAL Christmas for me without seeing family, friends and snow so Phil and I are flying home to Minnesota this week and will be back in Florida on New Year’s Eve.  Lights on palm trees and flamingos on Christmas cards just doesn’t seem like the Holidays for me.  Actually, I…

The Ship was destined for a 7-Day Eastern Caribbean Cruise from…
