We don’t always make time for those things that are in our own backyard Maybe it’s because they are so close. We think “we can do that anytime.” Because it’s so easy we don’t make plans. Why do we need a plan to do something in our own…
On our way to visit my brother and his family in Michigan’s upper peninsula, my husband, John, and I stopped to stay a night in Ann Arbor. John was a college professor for 35 years and is an avid football fan. He is always interested in getting a look at any college campus we happen…
Shoes are bulky. They take up space in your suitcase. They are heavy and threaten to tip the luggage scale up and over your airline’s weight limit. Because of that, people try to skimp on the number and style of shoes that they pack. Don’t do it. Nothing you will pack is more important than…
A part of my Four Corners Vacation 2011 We pulled into the town of Bluff at dinnertime. “Town” is not really an accurate word to use when describing Bluff. When I think of a town, I expect to see a Main Street lined with brick building businesses such as a hardware store and a bank.…
When out of town family came to visit, one of the things they asked to do was visit Cedar Point. Located in Sandusky, Ohio along the shore of Lake Erie, the park is a two hour drive from our home. Twelve of us, ranging in age from 14 to 76 visited the park on a…
I have been using this travel bag for more than two years and the “Delsey Quilted Rolling Underseat Tote” is, without a doubt, the best travel purchase I have ever made. Whenever I buy a product, I expect that there will always be something that I would like to change or improve. Not this one.…
Driving across Nebraska? It’s one of those states with long stretches of flat straight highways and little to see on either side of the road except huge wind turbines which can be seen for miles and which are fascinating to watch. But even with the entertainment provided by wind farms, you’re going to want a…
<a href=”https://www.bloglovin.com/blog/18380007/?claim=8d3ca5s5as5″>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> I get the impression that not a lot of people visit botanical gardens. They’re not as popular as amusement parks or museums. Let me just say that this is a huge mistake. Some of the best places I’ve visited have been botanical gardens. And the Missouri Botanical Garden in St.…
I visit Salt Lake City fairly often. My stepson and his family live there. My husband, John, an ex-Mormon, researches and writes Mormon history. And so, between family and visits to archives and history conferences, we find one reason or another to make our way to Utah every year or two. Until now, we haven’t…
Never been to Cleveland? Okay, I’ll admit that the idea of vacationing in Cleveland doesn’t sound anywhere near as glamorous as traveling to someplace like New York, Boston, or Key West. Like Detroit and Pittsburgh, Cleveland is one of those rust belt cities that is never placed on the lists of “the top 10 cities you have…

It was the first week of March when we visited the Cleveland Botanical Garden. We’d been living through weeks of cold weather with snow and freezing rain. An afternoon in their Glasshouse would be a wonderful escape to warmer climates. Although we have visited other botanical gardens around the…
