About a week ago I had my email account closed because someone had hacked into it and sent a bunch of spam out from my address. My son, Jamey, was able to help me change my password and put code protection on my account so that I can’t be hacked again, but that doesn’t mean that someone can’t use my email address to send out spam.

Our boss is the greatest! Kathy paid for everyone on staff who wanted to to get trained as a Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA). Mark and I went through the training today at The Clearing in Ellison Bay. But first, a woman from The Clearing gave us a tour of the campus. Continue reading
Mark mentioned in his guest blog that I was feeling overwhelmed a few days ago. More on that at the end of this post, but for right now, here are some of the shots I took of the boat tour Tim gave us: Continue reading
Yesterday was Mother’s Day and I should have wished all you mothers out there a happy one, but I was too busy enjoying mine. Sorry! Today was my 60th birthday. It was relatively normal with some special elements. I have pictures from both days, although my pictures from today were taken on my phone and the quality isn’t quite as good. Continue reading
Mark and I didn’t set out until mid-afternoon today, and we stopped first at the quilt shop just up the road from our RV campground. The woman in the shop has lived in both the St Petersburg area of Florida and in Door County, WI, so she was familiar with where we’ve been and where we are going. It’s a small world!

We were busy all day yesterday hunting down my ancestors so I didn’t get a chance to write about it last night. Here is what we did: Continue reading
Yesterday (Monday) Mark had an orientation at the VA in the morning and I slept in. When I got up I waited till a reasonable hour Pacific Time and called my older sister to discuss some neat things I’ve been learning in my women’s Bible study. While I talked with her on the phone I had cold pizza from the day before and a Coke. After Mark’s orientation, he went to McDonalds for lunch and then made a couple “guy” stops. Little did we know that those lunches would be the last real meals we’d have for over 24 hours. Continue reading
A number of you sent us Christmas cards that we haven’t received yet. We have been using the UPS Store in Bellingham, WA as our forwarding address for nearly a year. Problem is, they weren’t forwarding our mail to us. In the year, we might have gotten four or five mailings, if that. I could never reach them by phone, and I could seldom reach them by email. It has been a very frustrating experience. Continue reading
This being New Year’s Eve, it’s time to look back and look forward. Continue reading
Dad has been saying for years that Hilton Head is one of his favorite places in the country. This morning we headed south to check it out for ourselves. It was nearly a two-hour drive to get there. We had no idea what to look for there, so we tried stopping at the first welcome center we saw, and we found that it was closed and completely empty. Not a good sign! Continue reading
