Welcome to my weekly update for March 23, 2025! It was a fairly quiet week. We went to the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Japanese Friendship Garden and Museum in San Diego last weekend. It was way more crowded than we would have liked but the garden is always beautiful. Then on Thursday evening we […]
Welcome to my weekly update for March 16, 2025! I’ll keep this as apolitical as possible, but I wanted to let you know that I recently used the 5 Calls app to contact my Congressman and Senators about an issue. I cannot adequately express how much I hate calling strangers but I decided that I need […]
Welcome to my weekly update for March 2, 2025! My husband is on call for emergencies at the hospital this weekend so I’m taking it easy around our camper. It’s cool and cloudy anyway, so it’s perfect for staying indoors. He didn’t have to work Thursday so we decided to spend the day at Disneyland […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 23, 2025! This was a pretty quiet week so I started sorting through tax paperwork. *sigh* My husband and I did go to Old Town San Diego for a couple of hours one afternoon. We hadn’t been there before so we had a good time looking around all the shops and […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 16, 2025! I mentioned last week that my husband and I were relocating for his job, as we do every three to six months. As his last contract was coming to an end, a manager at a hospital where he worked a couple of years ago reached out to ask if he would be […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 9, 2025! My husband finished his work assignment at a hospital near Phoenix at the end of January so we flew home to visit friends and family in Asheville, NC for a week and then flew to visit my in-laws in south Florida for a week. It was nice to see […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 2, 2025! My husband had a long weekend off from work on January 17 so we drove up to Page, Arizona for a few days. You might not be familiar with the town itself, but you’re sure to recognize two iconic places nearby: Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. They […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 19, 2025! My husband worked last weekend so we didn’t do any touristy stuff. I’ve gone back in time to October to share some pictures I took while I was on a blogging break. We flew to São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores, for a week in early October […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 12, 2025! I hope any of you who are in the Los Angeles area (or your friends and families) are safe and well. Fires are so terrifying. My thoughts are with all those who’ve been affected. Despite my best intentions, I missed posting last week. I admire those […]
Welcome to my weekly update for December 29, 2024!
I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful holiday week! My husband had to work too close to the holiday for us to fly out to visit any family so we had a nice, quiet day at home in our RV. He made a crème brûlée French toast casserole for breakfast that was delicious […]
