About Me

When I started my retirement travels in 2009, I wanted a way to share it with family and friends as it was happening. Hence, "My Travel Journal". However I realized I wouldn't always be on a trip and wondered what to do with the blog in between times. My daughter pointed out, wisely, that travels can also include trips to the kitchen to try a new recipe, trips to visit family, trips to my neighborhood Starbucks, or a fun day trip with a friend. You're welcome to join me on any of these journeys! I've set up individual pages for each of my major trips (see tabs above).

Also, I have an Etsy shop where my current needlework resides. The last pieces I posted here were in 2013! So if you'd like to see what I have accomplished recently, go to (and I apologize for having to copy and paste):

I recently added an "Italian Word a Day" thingie which shows up at the bottom of every page. You see the word and can click to hear it pronounced. I've been enjoying it and I think my accent is improving as time goes by.

Weather Report from Huntington, WV - SNOW ! ! !

Temperature at 8:00 a.m. - 27 degrees.
View from window at 8:00 a.m. -

This one is looking toward the Ohio River which is invisible right now...
 This one is looking opposite direction with the snow showing up against the dark building.
Fun to wake up to and makes me glad I don't have to be anywhere!  The forecast on my phone shows it changing to rain by around noon but I don't know...

I went looking for a chuck roast last night so I could make a pot roast today and sure wish I had found one I liked - would be a perfect day for it.

Plus which if you got snow there's a good possibility DC would close down - always a nice treat.
