Traveling North

Posted on February 23, 2013

Yesterday Earl and I drove six hundred miles north from Knoxville to arrive home as the sun was setting somewhere. We had returned to the Land of Eternal Winter Grayness, so a sunset was no longer part of our daily

Key West

Posted on February 15, 2013

We are like the swallows that return to San Juan Capistrano, although the analogy really ends with the concept of returning.  We don’t arrive in Key West on the same day each year.  We don’t settle in for seven months,

Miscellany

Posted on January 12, 2013

It’s a good thing I didn’t make a New Year’s resolution to blog every day, because we’re almost to the middle of January and I have been uninspired. I’ve been busy too, but uninspired is the real reason. So I’m

The Embers

Posted on November 25, 2012

Earl and I are in Avoca, Iowa, on our way home from Thanksgiving festivities with family in Denver, Colorado. We left before the sun rose this morning with the intent of driving as far as we could before becoming grouchy.

The Library, Revisited

Posted on October 13, 2012

Earl and I “dined” – and I use the term loosely because I prefer white tablecloth dining to pub cuisine – at The Library this evening. In a former life, this establishment was called Pauly’s; and we frequented it regularly.

Sorry About That

Posted on September 20, 2012

My friend and I met at Harbor Shores for breakfast today. It had been a while since we’d seen each other, and we looked forward to relaxing over eggs, bacon, and toast. (My friend really enjoys breakfast.)

But when

Botticelli’s

Posted on September 2, 2012

After a hard day at Mount Rushmore and Reptile Gardens, Earl and I headed to Botticelli’s last night, supposedly the best restaurant in Rapid City. We had already had a cocktail at an Irish pub around the corner, so when

Fire

Posted on August 20, 2012

Just as Earl and I headed to the Old Faithful Inn dining room for six o’clock reservations, we were halted by other guests who warned that we were to avoid the main lodge due to a fire alarm. A few

Lucky’s

Posted on August 14, 2012

We’ve done this part of our Great Trek innumerable times, because this is the way to Denver and a visit with my family, a trip we make every Thanksgiving. So Nebraska is familiar and friendly.

We stayed last night

So Long, Salmon

Posted on June 15, 2012

I love salmon; it’s one of my favorite fish. At the same time, I have been challenged in this love affair recently.

The last time I went to New York City to work for my son’s company, Earl went
