There is a place, which I have only known about since 2007, which has become in the intervening years, very dear to my heart. That place is Hillsdale College, in Hillsdale, Michigan. The College has been in existence since 1844, celebrating its 175th Anniversary in October of 2019. Besides being an exemplary Liberal Arts College, …

To Leavenworth, Washington's Bavarian Village we go! Last Sunday, which was bright and sunny, on a whim we got into our car and drove over the Cascade Mountains in US Highway 2, to our favorite "day trip" destination. Hubby's Accordion Celebration, normally held on the third weekend in June will be virtual again this year, …
Flight means different things to different people, and it can signify many modes of travel. But it's always travel. Both my husband and I worked in the aerospace industry, before we lost our jobs to the government shutdowns last year. He worked for "big airframer company" for 40 years. When a brand new model was …

On the way out for dinner this evening, I was able to capture two photos that I would have missed were it not for my trusty iPhone in my purse. The first one was taken at a stop light, when I looked across the street, I saw the flowering trees. Roll down window, whip out …

A couple of days ago, I needed to drop off an envelope at a local business. Instead of getting in my car and driving there, I decided to walk the 0.6 miles there and back. It was early evening, and the sun was still bright. I walked out the back of our complex, past three …
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have a varied terrain, ranging from the high Cascade Mountains splitting the state North to South; and lowlands in the West, going down to the Pacific Ocean. Today, there are signs of Spring from both places. First, The North Cascades Highway (Highway 20) runs from the small city of …
Last night, Hubby and I went out to dinner at one of our favorite place. When we got there, we discovered that there would be a 40-minute wait. So we took a walk around the parking lot, where we discovered a road behind the restaurant that we hadn't known existed. We found a creek running …
Nature designed the world geometrically. We just build on that natural geometry. However, Nature doesn't use very many absolutely straight lines, so one way to spot a man-made structure is to check for straight lines. Just a few weeks ago, on one of our day trips up to the Skagit Valley, I happened upon a …
