Summing it Up...

Now, that I'm way on the wrong side of sixty, I feel that being true to self is important. "I yam, what I yam." Kindness and smiles are to be given away. Women are strong. Men are more vulnerable than we believe. Husbands may come and go...but one thing I know for sure is that I will NEVAH live without a corgi or coffee in my life if I can prevent it. Come piles of dog fur or hot water!

Girls Roadtrip!

The last time I took off with a girlfriend on a short roadtrip, I was probably twenty years old!
That will be rectified tomorrow, as my pal Melody and I take off for the far eastern corner of Kentucky. We're going to Greenbo State Park which has a large lake, trails, and an outside ampitheatre that has outside plays. We hope to arrive in time Sunday evening for the last performance of "The Odd Couple". Melody used to go there with her parents, and it's been thirty years since her last visit. So...we're going to relive some memories for her, and make some new ones! Tiny towns near by have antique shops so I hope they'll be open for business come Monday.

We'll only be gone 3-4 days. Jim will be home to babysit the three dogs as his Mom takes the South Shore out of South Bend to visit her brother in Chicago.


Here are some photos of where we'll be. Girls rule! The GPS (Helga) is going along, and Jim made us a map. Neither one of us has any sense of direction, so wish us luck!

Have Fun!!! I have heard them talk about the big fish at the Greenbo Lake but we haven't been there yet. I think my husband may have been there years ago?

Sounds like a fun trip in store for you and your friend. When you get back, email me your snail mail addy so I can send you that travel tag that you admired!

Have a wonderful time. Did a road trip with my friend Nancy last month and thought of ourselves as Thelma and Louise. No disasters and lots of fun. The GPS definitely came with us.

Sounds like a blast! I know you 2 will have fun antique shopping...all those lost treasures waiting to be found. Can't wait to see the pics and hear the details when you get back.

Take Care - Robin
