Do you remember the ad from long ago, before cell phones and Google, “Let your fingers do the walking?” It was an ad for the Yellow Pages, how else would you find a phone number for the local pizza joint? Since, Born To Talk is my moniker, I’ve taken the spoken word and translated it…
New Hampshire…My Happy Place
You can’t go to the Inn on Newfound Lake, and not take the drive to Polly’s Pancake House in Sugar Hill. It’s about 45 minutes of gorgeous scenery with the prize of eating a great breakfast. Yes, they are known for their incredible pancakes, but I was feeling rebellious and had a waffle and bacon,…
New Hampshire And Maine
The journey continues as the four amigas finish up the last leg of our 10 day New England vacation in New Hampshire. We’re staying at my friends Inn on Newfound Lake. I’ve been posting pictures of the Inn for many years now, because it is so beautiful. What was once a yearly visit has morphed…
Malibu, it’s Not Just a Beach
Having family visit from back east is a great opportunity to once again, be a tourist, this time in a city not far from my home. Malibu Beach is just up the road about 45 minutes, depending on the traffic. Malibu, known for its pristine beaches and surfers is also home to the rich and famous,…
Fisherman’s Village, Marina Del Rey, California

The weather…

Located overlooking Otsego Lake, this museum is known for its American Folk Art and North American Indian Art. It also has a large collection of memorabilia from author…
Good Bye Cooperstown
We spent 2 days visiting Cooperstown. We had grand time visiting Sharon Springs, along with the Hall of Fame, and the Fenimore Art Museum. Just one more stop before we call it a day.

National Baseball Hall of Fame Cooperstown, New York
As our journey continues, we find ourselves at the ultimate location for any baseball fan; the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. When you first enter the building, you realize that you are seeing incredible baseball memories, facts and accomplishments. This was the first of such displays. As we sat in baseball stadium…
The Coopers Hawk Has Something To Say
While I am enjoying the over abundance of pictures from a three week vacation and trying to remember exactly why I took them and where I was, I had to take a short side trip right in my own backyard. It’s funny the things you miss while you’re gone and also those things that you…
