As some of you know, I’ve been playing with points and miles for some time. I joined a group called 10X Travel, and by following their lead, I’ve been able to take my travel to an all new level. Our flight out of Miami was scheduled at 5:45 pm but due to delays didn’t leaveContinue reading “A Quick Trip to Punta Cana”

It’s been a very busy month and I have been completely remiss in blogging about life in Florida. Valentine’s Day came and went. I did get some pretty roses. Our friends, Sandy and Scott, arrived on the 17th and it’s been a whirlwind ever since. We have so many neat places to walk here soContinue reading “A Visit with friends”

Our days flow into one another like a stream that winds around each curve, beckoning to see what lies ahead. We’ve fallen into a regular routine idling away peacefully without a care in the world. Our morning begins with reading and quiet meditation. Of course we are missing our meditation room at home, but we’veContinue reading “Our Time in Paradise”

It’s been a worrisome two weeks but life is finally getting back to normal. Bruce is feeling good with only a little fatigue if we do too much. I had a negative Covid test on Saturday. I would have been surprised if I was positive because I feel great. Bruce and I took a strollContinue reading “Great News”

So my dear husband relentlessly looked for a house to rent in Florida with a three month lease. We found our winter home in theContinue reading “The Snowbirds in Florida”

Fort Macon State Park We had wonderful weather for most of our trip so I’m not going to complain about our last day. We knew it was going to rain so we slept in and had a late start. I thought it might be interesting to get some shots on a dreary, rainy day andContinue reading “Our Last Day on The Outer Banks”

Our journey south on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore began with the crossing of the Oregon Inlet. This Inlet separates the Atlantic from Pamlico Sound and it’s home to a thriving fishing industry. There are several long bridges throughout the Outer Banks and we loved traveling over them. We stopped just over the bridge forContinue reading “A Short Visit to Hatteras and Ocracoke Island”
