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.

October 30 - Snow!!

Woke up to snow this morning and always find the first snow of the season exciting.  We're not getting much - I think it's pretty much done now.  But this is really early in the year for us and other parts of West Virginia are really getting dumped on.  So I guess it's time to pull the winter coat out of the closet and turn the heat on cause baby, it's cold outside!

October snow...! wow! Was kinda hoping we'd see some from the "superstorm" but now that I'm without electricity (visiting a Starbucks now) I'm glad we didn't!

Guess it's been a while since I checked your blog but it's fun to see your street scene in the snow and I'm with your 1000% BFF on voting for Obama. xoxo
