Wouldn’t You Like To Get Away?

“Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got. Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot. Wouldn’t you like to get away?” I can’t think of an opening theme song that I like better than Cheers, “Where Everybody Knows You Name.” I’ve been home from my latest adventure…

You’ve Got a Friend in Me

Do you remember the Randy Newman song from Toy Story, You’ve Got A Friend In Me? Here are a few of the lyrics: You’ve got a friend in me You’ve got a friend in me When the road looks rough ahead And you’re miles and miles from your nice warm bed You just remember what…

Live And In Living Color

Do you remember when the peacock on NBC went from black and white to color in 1957? I still recall how exciting it was to see color on TV.  I especially remember watching Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color.  The announcer would say, “Live and in Living Color.” Then you’d hear the ding ding ding…and…

Relax and Breathe

How often do you give advice?  How often do others give you advice?  Advice comes in so many forms, some comes without warning, some comes unsolicited but generally advice is given out of love and concern for the most part.

Pushing My Boundaries

Wrapping Up My European Adventure

Almost Done In Athens

How often do you attempt to learn a brand new skill?  And if you choose to learn a brand new skill, do you find that you can learn that skill by reading a manual or do you jump on YouTube and learn by watching? How lazy am I?  Fairly lazy when it comes to learning…

Poseidon…God of the Seas

Mythology escaped me in school, so you imagine how confused I was as I learned about who was related to who.  Here’s the background about Poseidon: Poseidon’s Strengths: He is a creative god, designing all the creatures of the sea. He can control waves and ocean conditions. Poseidon’s Weaknesses: Warlike, though not so much as Ares;…

The Island of Poros, Greece

So much to see, so much to do, without enough time to do it all. We spent a total of 9 days in Greece.  Now that I am home and able to reflect, I’m left with lots of memories. Photos are a great lens as I look back and realize all that we saw. This was…
