Hibernation
If I were to describe myself from the past week, it would have to be contemplative. Not melancholy or sad, just quiet and waiting. I skipped joining my girlfriends a couple times this week and opted for my jammies and slippers instead. I kinda feel like a bear hibernating for the winter. Storing up my […]
February 1st. A Day of Second Chances.
Yesterday was February 1st, for me that was like my January 1st in terms of a New Year’s fitness resolution. I really did intend to be more active and planned to log in several miles on bikes, kayaks and long walks when we were in Key West. The weather did not cooperate with my good […]
My Birthday Re-cap
My birthday celebration couldn’t have been more perfect. It started before I got out of bed with personalized videos sent to me, one from a friend I had only met once seven years ago, and one from my brother in Nicaragua… When technology is not driving me crazy, it is truly amazing me! Then Ava […]
Vacation to Stay-cation
We arrived back to Tybee on Friday afternoon a full week earlier than intended from our vacation. But we decided we’d rather get back to the place we truly love and finish our vacation with a stay-cation. The night before I had responded to my friend Jan’s Facebook post in regards to buying living room […]
Starting the Return Trip Home. (Trip Day 11)
Thursday 1/21/16 We tore down camp for the last time for a while, well at least until spring, when we camp on Little Tybee with friends. At our campsite in the Everglades, we met a fellow camper from Virginia, named Bobby. A retired, widowed gentleman traveling in his little RV. We got to know him […]
Day 10 Exploring Everglades National Park
Wednesday 1/21/16 I cooked hearty breakfast of eggs, sausages, tortillas and hash browns. Birds were visiting our campsite throughout the morning. I spotted a bright red cardinal through the green and brown branches. The weather was the warmest and most beautiful we’ve had during our our whole trip. One layer of clothing would be perfect […]
“Mom Has ‘Trump’ Hair” Day 9
Tuesday 1/20/16 Cool air is tucking its chill into every open space possible. Exposed skin especially susceptible to its touch. Jagged sticks begin to snap and crack from the glowing orange fire ring. I am standing a few feet away stirring the cheese dip over the gas stove while boiling water to mix with instant […]
We’ve Moved! Everglades National Park (Day 8)
Monday 1/18/16 The last night camping in the Keys was the most unrestful. Extremely high winds rattled the tent all night. I think the clinking of metal zipper pulls are still ringing in my ears. We arose early just as planned and began tearing down camp, even without our morning coffee. The girls were troopers […]
Making a Deal With God (Key West Day 7)
Sunday 1/17/16 After my shower I was faced with a great dilemma. What do I wear today? I was already in my jeans and long sleeved shirt. But the sun was shining and the warmest weather I have felt in weeks and I was breaking a sweat. I had been prepared for what the forecast […]
