Okay, raise your hand if you have lived in the same area for a long time and never explored many of the local venues that have been right next door. I am guilty of that too. Funny how we don’t spend much time wandering around our neighborhoods but eagerly travel to other cities or countries.
I am intentionally being a local tourist and look forward to sharing my adventures with you.
If you have a favorite must-see, please let me know.
Chinese Lantern Festival – Raleigh, NC
Do you ever have that experience when you are unexpectedly delighted and amazed? Perhaps you had that flawless and fast run down a steep, perfectly powdered ski run? Maybe you saw that stunning multicolored sunset over a calm ocean or stumbled across a hidden lake after a long walk in a thick forest? Perhaps a…
Inviting you to take on my challenge
It has been an emotional month on the political front. First, Christian Conservative Charlie Kirk was murdered while doing one of the things he did best:
(Mis)adventures with Kathy
I love to travel! I think I rank travel as one of my top 4 or 5 things to do. Travel, reading, sailing, riding, jigsaw puzzling while binge watching Netflix…all is good. (Okay, dating is up there too but I am not terribly delighted with the options on dating sites, which has been a topic…

It’s an inspiring haven for gardeners and nature enthusiasts alike. A must-visit in the South Bay.
Birthday Fun – and Funny Girl
Although I don’t really like spending much time in downtown L.A. I have enjoyed the recently created theater group that one of our active Delta Gamma officers has been coordinating. We have seen quite a few plays and musicals during the past year
A Horse…of Course!
I love horses. My love started back in 1971 when a photographer with a pony showed up on my parents’ front porch and I got a picture with the pony. I was hooked. I think I had a dozen of those Breyer horse statues. Remember them? Here’s one I had – Black Beauty.
Rose Parade
One of my favorite holiday traditions is watching the Rose Parade. The Parade officially starts when the Stealth Bomber blasts along the parade route. That is a catch-your breath moment.
Time to go to the Fair!
I realized a few months ago that I have lived in Los Angeles my entire 61 years and never made it to the L.A. County Fair. Granted, I grew up and still live in the beach cities, and the Fair was oh so far away in Pomona, but you’d think I would have gone there…
