Blue skies, warm beach, and lots of sunshine.  Must be in Santa Barbara, California! We are now officially into our second week of...

Me, responding well to change. You know how they say the only constant is change?  Never have I found that to be more true than on a...

I feel perpetually behind on blogging right now!  Mostly because our last weeks in Alaska were kind of a blur, due to Mike sailing with...

Well, this post was supposed to be published last Sunday, but I got distracted by the arrival of my husband, Mike, and the coolest Star...

I’m back!  My apologies for the extended break,  but I have been dealing with quite a cold, and between medical isolation and...

After two rather rainy days at sea, I was delighted to get off the ship yesterday and to be greeted by this: We had a fantastic...

Let’s start with that lumberjack show.  If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you probably saw that lovely photo (right) earlier...
