Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mia Reef (February 2020)

I’ve always wanted to stay at the Mia Reef resort on Isla Mujeres which is on a small island off the larger island and has beautiful private beaches while just looking very tropical.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – On A Roof (July 2016)

Mom and dad got invited to a rooftop thank-you event for clients of their financial advisor and managed to convince their advisor to extend the invitation to Shea and I even though our investment portfolios differed by more than a few zeros at the time! Recently had a meeting with all of them again and […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Become a Mini-Man With A Mini-Van (June 2014)

I always joked that as uncool as their reputation is, mini-vans are some of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned – you can load them up like a truck (we literally hauled a fridge to our campsite in the van), the sliding doors are a lot safer in garages and parking lots (especially with kids […]

Back From Camping…

…and lots of amazing moments and memories: * Great visit with Shea’s cousin and family who are back from New Zealand for a month * About ten books on my “To Read During Camping” list.  (One book, not even on my list, is all I get read – thought I do work through a 377 […]

Music Monday – “So many years, so many hardships/So many laughs, so many tears/So many things he cannot remember/’Cause they had 50 years He walks down to the ocean Bends to touch kneels to pray/He writes her name in the sand/Waves wash it away”
