I am currently on a cruise ship, the Crystal Symphony, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, heading east toward Mexico, in the company of a large contingent of Hillsdale College supporters and employees.

Sigh…Final Photo Challenge…All-time Favorites
I am SO sad that the Photo Challenge by the editors at WordPress is ending. It gave me something to look forward to each week, and a reason to mine my photos for just the right picture. And it's so difficult to find the all-time favorite. But, since it has to be done, I did …

Photo Challenge: Liquid
I practically live surrounded by water. Last week I shared a picture of the lake just south of my house. Puget Sound is just a few miles to the west, and Lake Washington is to the East and South. Back in 2016, we went on a cruise to Alaska, and I posted numerous photos of …

A Favorite Place, any time of year

The Skagit Valley has some of the most fertile soil in the United States, and its farmers supply animal feed, corn, potatoes, vegetables, and flower bulbs locally and around the world. The entire month of April is the …
Photo Challenge~~~I’d Rather Be…
So here I am, at my desk, doing our TAXES, for heaven's sake! Yeah, it's that time of year. But I'd really rather be here: On the balcony of our stateroom, on the cruise ship, to Hawaii. With my nose in a good book, and a nice glass of wine. Just relaxing and watching and …
