There is a freedom in travel. I ache for it at times. I am without appropriate words to help my husband understand why I must continuously leave him for places that are sometimes dirty and dangerous. I can’t explain why I would gladly snatch the free ticket to almost anywhere out of the hand that … More I Wonder as I Wander
Harpers Ferry is a beautiful, old town that seems made up. Like many historic colonial places, re-enactors live among actual current day folk. I had always remembered Harpers Ferry as just that, a town re-created or preserved to help educate people on its history. Maybe that’s true, but there are actual residences right down town which I … More Almost Heaven
When I tell my friends that I stayed in a Motel 6 most of them ask, “Well, did you at least get breakfast?” Um, even if they offered it, no thank you. Instead we went with the familiar, Panera. Fortified by croissant sandwiches and a few cups of joe we hop back on the interstate, … More Small Town Fantasies
Our next stop: Natural Bridge. The sunlight is beginning to dim, but we have at least two hours left of daylight. We make it to Natural Bridge with just enough time. The town of Natural Bridge is a lovely little mountain town with rolling hills and winding roads. And one main feature. An expanse of … More A Bridge, a Pizza and a Motel 6
On today’s agenda: Blue Ridge Parkway and Natural Bridge, VA then on to stay in Harrisonburg. We have fallen into a comfortable routine. Each evening when we land in whatever hotel we find – as true wanderers we refused to be tethered to exact locations each night – we schlep our suitcase, cooler and computer … More Majestic Views and Special Sauce
Last fall I embarked on a 10 day road trip. The impetus of this trip was to pick up a few bronze statues from my sister in Pennsylvania. She was letting go of an impressive Buddha collection and asked if I was interested. I was. But shipping them to Florida would rival the cost of … More Somewhere in the Deep South
I have been terribly remiss in my sharing. I have spent more time over on Instagram and Facebook seeking instant gratification avoiding the longer form I so love. It’s not that I haven’t been wandering. Last fall I took a 10 day road trip up to Pennsylvania to see my sisters and cousins, taking back … More I Should be Committed
Ft. Christmas, Florida. Nothing says Florida quite like beautiful old oak trees heavy with Spanish moss.
Long Island, Bahamas. While in search of straw hats on this relatively remote island in the Bahamas we stumbled upon this relic. Like so many other buildings on this island, this one was damaged beyond repair during a hurricane most of us in the US never really heard about. The damage to this particular … More Cross
I am lucky enough to live not much more than an hour away from the Ocala National Forest in central Florida. There, on beautiful Lake Kerr, is a yoga institute that I frequent. This young buck was raised by humans across the street from the institute when it was orphaned. He loves human contact and … More Oh Deer
