December 9,2023 We’ve been home for a week … a peaceful quiet week. I walked the beach and our neighborhood… Arriving at Siesta Beach just before 10:00 am last Sunday, I was surprised by two things. First surprise was the Siesta Seafood Festival … I don’t remember it being offered this late in the year....

July 18,2022 We are waiting for our house-sitters to arrive before we depart for an overnight at the Aloft hotel at Laguardia airport. Although we don’t fly until 1:40 pm tomorrow, I always feel best when we spend the night before at the airport. It’s been a while since I’ve posted here so I thought...
