Walking Waikiki
Hello Oahu! After a week on the Big Island, we landed on Oahu for more fun in the sun. One day, Bob went to Pearl Harbor while I stayed behind and opted for a beach day. Here’s what that looked like. I left our… Continue Reading “Walking Waikiki”

Postcards from Kona
Greetings from the Big Island of Hawaii! First of all, isn’t it grand that Hurricane Kiko decided to weaken and move northwest? We haven’t seen a hint of trouble here. Second, I didn’t necessarily plan to blog on vacation, but I don’t see the… Continue Reading “Postcards from Kona”

Time and Again – at Cooper School
I’m hopelessly nostalgic, so when September arrives so do childhood memories of schoolgirl days at Frank B Cooper School. The building is still standing in West Seattle as sturdy as the last century, though it has been converted into the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center.… Continue Reading “Time and Again – at Cooper School”

Rainy Day in Paradise
We’d been in a heat wave for several days and were looking for a place to cool down. We found it in Paradise, on Mt. Rainier. We didn’t mind the rain as there were fewer people on the trail to Myrtle Falls. I wore… Continue Reading “Rainy Day in Paradise”

I loved the big cats, majestic and content, knowing they are free to safely roam. On the home front,… Continue Reading “Little Cats on the Home Front”

Lions and Leopards and Cheetahs, O My!
I don’t think I’ll make it to Africa, where wild animals can still find places to roam and live their best lives in natural habitat. But my brother did, on safaris to wildlife preserves and his pictures are incredible. I especially enjoyed seeing the… Continue Reading “Lions and Leopards and Cheetahs, O My!”

It’s Gotta be Licorice
If it’s on the menu, it’s my first choice, much to my husband’s chagrin. It turns my lips, tongue and teeth not black exactly, but a strange purple or green. ‘You can walk ahead of me, dear, if it bothers you.’ It’s always on… Continue Reading “It’s Gotta be Licorice”

HBC and Union Jack
I rarely post twice on the same day but wanted to drop by for the final day of #SimplyRed. We stopped by Fort Vancouver on our way home from Portland and I found the history fascinating. The Hudson’s Bay Company established Fort Vancouver under… Continue Reading “HBC and Union Jack”

Hike to Marymere Falls, at Lake Crescent
Lake Crescent is my favorite lake in Washington, the USA, and maybe the whole world, though of course I haven’t seen them all. An ancient, glacier-carved lake over 600 ft. deep, we never get tired of visiting this beauty any time of year. Even… Continue Reading “Hike to Marymere Falls, at Lake Crescent”
