We arrived safe and sound about a week ago. This is where we will remain for the winter months ahead. We will fly home to Minnesota for 8 days at Christmas to see family.,,,then back to our temporary home  here in Pompano Beach.  So far we are delighted with our condo, the people and our…

Phil is securing our new grill for the winter ahead. The lemon yellow leaves of the birch tree from my office window almost tumbled to the ground before I got a photo. This year the beautiful maple is not as red as other years, but still a bright orange. The Hydrangea by our garage blooms…

We who live in Minnesota are the lucky few to be near a place of true wilderness. It is the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness – the BWCAW – more simply called The Boundary Waters. Those of you who know me also know it is one of my favorite places to go in Minnesota. It…

It is difficult to post my photos to keep up with the miles we drive. The prior blog was the miles traveled in Arizona and New Mexico. This one will cover our road trip from Texas to Minnesota. (Is this confusing or what?) This blog begins with one of our favorite things to do…..drive the…

And we look forward to a wonderfully long adventure as we head home. We have no schedule so our days pass slowly.  And the sights we have seen are truly awesome and memorable.

We had stayed in this same small town and same motel on our way to Arizona last spring. The…

We Rent A Car: We have the car for only a week, and now we wish we had rented it a month ago.  We have rented cars in years past, but had almost forgotten what fun it is to drive the country roads. Some are gravel and some are smooth.  Some are rough  and sometimes…

…this is the question Phi always asks me (even though he knows the answer) whether we are on a new adventure or repeating an old memorable one. Today I ask…..Who Would Have Thought……. I would spend my 79th Birthday on March 7th in the City of Guadalajara, Mexico? On Wednesday, March 6 we traveled 5.5…

Good Morning All…..it is a beautiful day here in Puerto Vallarta. It has been a little cloudy during the days and deepest dark at night, but in the early morning hours today, I stepped on the balcony and saw the full moon. The rest of the sky was dark. Tonight is the Super Blood Wolf…
