First Solo Trip....Leland Bound...

Yes, making this sojourn by myself was cause for concern...
What if I get lost (you have a cell phone)
What if I break down (you have AAA and a cell phone)
What if I (stop it - just go)
What if (the world was really flat?)
What will you be proud of if you don't make this trip?

WHAT A PIECE OF CAKE!
WHAT A WALK IN THE PARK!
WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I THINKIN'?

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE and, no -
I'm no Christopher Colombus, but bring it!  
Garmin and I will go anywhere!!!!

The pics will probably only mean something to me...
Wait...it's my blog - so that's what matters, aye?

Smile with me!!!

Memorial Day

* * * * *

Out to the farm to hug good friends,

 fire-up the grill and share some yummy food

 to celebrate the day we take to remember

 those who served and our fallen heros -

to thank them for our freedom ...

...and...

to spend some time with the other good friends

 that make my heart swell.

* * * * *

  

What a beautiful trip this has been - yet far too short

What a beautiful reunion Claudia and I had - but not long enough

Beautiful memories ~

Dreams are the plans for the future

to enjoy more of both the area and towns I love in Michigan and

spend more time with my Friend...

Omena. 

Been there.  Done That. 

 Gotta Do it Again and Again.

...Getting a Happy Declaration from a friend

sent from one of your very favorite places

on the Planet

Yeah...I'd say that's somethin.

a beach...a lodge...

a getaway

agree?

Someone said, "Well, if you're gonna try the trip on your own,

at least you'll find out whether you like it or not".

Wait. Wait.

What?

Um...you've clearly never been to this peninsula, have you?

(Or...to each their own, aye?) 

But I am quite certain:  I WILL LIKE IT - I am PERSUING IT,

for Heaven's sake!
