November was a relatively busy month with a couple of holidays to celebrate, a visit to a local attraction, and of course, the never ending list of projects. I celebrated Veterans Day by attending the town parade, and availing myself of some of the days benefits (e.g. a free haircut at Great Clips). Legoland also […]

My first month back at the home base is now in the record book. It was a relatively quiet month made up of mostly getting settled, cleaning up the property, wrapping up a few projects, visiting with my cousins, and catching a few events around town. Pictured above is from the Lake Wales Pioneer Days […]

Lucy … I’m Home! (younger folks will not get that reference). This beautiful image was taken recently by a resident of my home base community Saddlebag Lake (by Janet Edwards-Tomaselli), catching a beautiful double rainbow running across the lake from the vantage point of the Memorial Garden. Safe to say, I’m back home in paradise. I […]

Well, here I am – at the tail end of my summer hiatus. To say the past four months have gone by quickly would be the ultimate understatement. But alas it is time to return to the Florida Home Base. Aug was a somewhat quiet month, due largely in part to the lack of primary […]

Month 3 out of 4 of my MD summer trip is now in the record book. It was a great month, filled with lots of time spent with friends and family. That leaves the month of Aug remaining of my time here in the north, before I depart heading south back to my home base […]

It’s great to be back in MD – a place I called home for the better part of 20 years. Especially since I get to spend time with the grandkids! I arrived in Lothian on May 1st, and will be here through the end of Aug. During that time, I’m looking forward to spending lots […]

Yeah! I’m on the road again! Currently in VA, just a couple days short of landing in MD where I’ll spend the next four months. It’s been wonderful being mobile again, and thus far (knock on wood) the mechanics of the trip have been uneventful. Since leaving my home base in FL in mid Apr, […]

I really hate being redundant, but once again, another month has ticked away here in sunny Florida. I don’t know if it’s the fact that I’m retired, or that I try to stay somewhat active and engaged, or simply just the wonderful warmth of the Florida sun that makes the time fly by so fast. […]

As my brother so correctly pointed out, this travel blog has sort of become more of a Lake Wales Home Base blog, rather than a travel blog. But given the circumstances, there’s not a whole lot I can do. Still way too much virus going around, and most places to visit have limited attendance. I […]
