Anticipation........

It is that time of year again.  Time for Girls Weekend.  It begins 1 week from today.  Knowing that it is so close that I can touch it crowds almost all other thoughts out of my mind.  I check the weather at our destination (Jackson, Wyoming) every day (today it was snowing there!!).  I imagine what our lodging will look like.  The first night will be spent in Jackson at a hostel.  We have stayed in only one hostel previously, in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, and it was a very interesting experience.  All other nights we will spend in a condo in West Yellowstone, Montana.  What will we see and experience in Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park??  The anticipation is delicious and I am loving every minute of it.  See you in a week, Kathi!!

Girls Weekend, Thursday, October 8, 2026, New York City

Thursday, October 8, 2026 It’s Girls Weekend!!! New York, here we come! Years and years ago, Lori and I composed all the rules of our annual trip. We would go to every single state. We would go every year come hell or high water (or kids, husbands, jobs, in-laws, weather, or anything else that tried to stop us, including snipers, which was applicable when we  were headed to Washington D.C. in 2002 ). We would not go to any city in the chosen state with which either of us was familiar. And then last year, New York came face up and we knew we would break our own rule and end up in NYC, even though we have been here together twice before. They are our rules, and we can break them if we want to. I arrived at LaGuardia Airport at about 10:30 this morning and would like to say that – seasoned traveler that I am - I immediately set about flawlessly navigating the transportation system, but really, why lie in the official historical record? In fact, I got on the wrong train twice, and once...

GW 2025 Tuesday, Oct 14. Homer, Alaska

Tuesday (or should I say Mooseday!?), October 14, 2025 Good morning!!   We slept in a little bit today, getting up around 7ish rather than 6ish and followed our regular morning routine of coffee, chatting, journaling, and, for me, at least, playing word games. I play several on-line word games pretty much every day to try and keep my brain healthy and working.   Waffle, Wordle, Connections, Strands and Quartiles.   Then I also play the mini crossword through the Apple News app (that’s where Quartiles is, too), along with Sudoku and their Emoji game (which is really hard!). THEN, later I play Jeopardy, Question of the Day and Puzzle of the Day through Alexa.   I got Kathi to join me today.   I even got her to play Song Quiz with me even though she tells me that she really hates this one!! The weather today is beautiful.   When looking at the weather app prior to our flights, it looked like it was going to rain every day of our trip.   Turns out however,...

Girls Weekend 2026. Saturday, October 10. New York City

Girls Weekend 2026 New York City Saturday, October 10 Good morning!   (Lori’s day to write!) We woke up this morning around 7:30ish and made ourselves a cup of coffee in our single server Keurig machine.   After chatting some, I decided to take a shower so I could walk to the cute little coffee place (Milk and Pull) around the corner for a gourmet coffee and to check out the corner market in search of butter and some Rubbermaid or the like containers for our leftovers.   We have found ourselves in need of these every year on our trips and we forgot to look for some while at the AMAZING food market yesterday.   On my way to the coffee place, I noticed that the beautiful church I passed along the way was open.   We had noticed the church our first evening here because of the beautiful stained glass windows we could see from the street.   Since the doors were open I decided to step in and take a few photos. Turns out it is a Catholic church named Holy Rosary a...
