We’ve been home for almost 3 months…here’s what we’ve been up to. Well, the Readers Digest version: January 2024 New Year’s Eve with Arlene and Gil at Kojos…pretty chilly. Thank goodness for heat lamps. Most of January was quite cool and we usually requested seats near heaters. Here we are at 1592, it is a...

December 9,2023 We’ve been home for a week … a peaceful quiet week. I walked the beach and our neighborhood… Arriving at Siesta Beach just before 10:00 am last Sunday, I was surprised by two things.

July 18,2022 We are waiting for our house-sitters to arrive before we depart for an overnight at the Aloft hotel at Laguardia airport.

March 18, 2020. I walked for 40 minutes this morning, I’m struck by the total disconnect between what is happening here in beautiful Lake Tippecanoe and what’s on television and social media. It’s 82 degrees, bright sun, birds singing, and except for the absence of folks on the roads…seeming normalcy. I’m sad that the Governor...

March 17,2020. So yes, that’s Paddy’s day with a “d” and the Shamrock has three leaves, unlike a four leaf clover. How do I know this? I’m Irish. My dad told us: “You will always know an Irishman…he’ll never say St. Patty’s day”. I enjoyed my walk today and I’m sad that my neighbors are...

March 16,2020. We’ve been here in Sarasota since the end of December, enjoying the little condo that we purchased last winter. As I write this, I’m on my patio with the mocking birds and butterflies, trying to distract myself from the evolving Coronavirus crisis. I suspect I will be posting here often in the hopes...
