I’d have posted this yesterday, but we didn’t get back to our room until 9:30 PM and I was really exhausted.
We took a tour yesterday – a 6 hour cruise into the Kenai Fjords National Park. It was done by a company called Kenai Fjords Tours and left from the small boat harbor, perhaps a [...]

It Only Gets Better!

I have never gone on any vacation before (and I have been on many) that got better day after day. I will no longer be able to say that. Alaska was awesome from day 1 and has only improved with time.
This morning we checked out of the hotel in Anchorage and our destination was Seward. [...]

My husband surprised me this past weekend with a weekend getaway. He had planned to leave Friday night, but the weather was not really pleasant. So he decided that we would leave Saturday morning and stay overnight one night instead of two.
Our first stop Saturday was at the Christmas Tree Shop in Warwick, RI. This [...]

Yes, that’s right. I’m singing. I promised you I wouldn’t whine about the heat anymore and I’m not – because it’s gone!!!!
Whoever it was who first said “What a difference a day makes” had it right on the money. Yesterday it was muggy and HOT (over 90 inside the house!). Today it’s dry and in [...]
Back to the Birds

We’ve been getting snow here in Massachusetts this week – one big storm and, at least where I live, snow flurries and snow showers off and on most days. It will definitely be a white Christmas.
I’ve been spying on the birds that come to the feeder outside my kitchen window. They provide a lot of [...]
A Day in the Minnesota Wilds

No, not the hockey team this time; the wilds, wilderness, great outdoors. Okay, it wasn’t wild like, say, the wilds of Alaska, but it was out of the city.
We set out this morning to drive to the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge north of Zimmerman, MN. We left about 9:45 AM and decided to take the [...]
Chosen by a Hummingbird

Everybody loves hummingbirds. They are petite and pretty. You always see hummingbirds portrayed as dainty, etherial little things flitting from flower to flower. I might have thought that, too, if I had never planted my garden with a sure hummingbird draw.
Jacob Cline Monarda is a tall, red flower that features small, trumpet shaped petals around [...]
Mid-Week Holidays

I hate mid-week holidays. It’s not that I object to the holidays themselves. It’s just that “fibro fog” being what it is, it’s far too easy to lose track of what day of the week it is when you pop a holiday in the middle of it.
“Fibro fog” is a term that anyone with fibromyalgia [...]
