Okay, I get it. That last post about staying on or off Disney property was a cliffhanger. I can fix that. This post is about what I prefer. (The last one was trying to show some pros and cons, knowing everyone has different budgets, etc.) As someone over 60, who is also living with post-covid... Continue Reading →
The Heart’s Haven – a review
There are Romance books and then there are Romance novels. This is most definitely the latter. Written by one of my favorite Romance authors, Jill Barnett, Hallie and Kit's story has a depth to it that begs to be read the way one sips their first cup of Mexican cocoa. I settled in to "sip"...

Disney Accommodation – on property or off?
Whew! We’re back in New Hampshire after a week staying just outside of Orlando. It’s nice to be home and I really don’t miss the warmer weather…too much. As always, our house-sitter did an awesome job. The house did well while we missed some crazy-dangerous cold weather. Even the cats are still speaking to us.... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Stakes, Cakes and Mandrakes by Colleen Gleason
Reading Stakes, Cakes and Mandrakes drew me in so deeply that when I got to a suspenseful moment (or two), I found myself closing my eyes like I would if I was watching a movie. Of course, that was counterproductive to actually reading the book, but there I was sneaking peeks at the next sentence before... Continue Reading →
Getting Around Disney World (part 1?)
The last time I blogged about visiting Disney World, I focused on mobility. That was helpful, but you also want some ideas of where to go while you’re popping around on your groovy new sneaks or cruising along (carefully watching for pedestrians) in your ECV (electric conveyance vehicle, also sometimes known as a scooter). It’s... Continue Reading →
Disney and Mobility
Disney as an adult? Over Sixty? Absolutely! There really is something magical about a Disney World Vacation. Sure, you hear the stories about crowds and prices, but there are ways to enjoy the “Happiest Place on Earth” especially at this age. You just need to do a little research and know a few tricks. And... Continue Reading →
Packing
I'm running away. Well, only for a week, but I'm off to spend time with that mouse in Florida. As much as I'm looking forward to it, I'm astounded at how much I need to pack for a week's stay away. I take that back, it's not how much I need to pack, but what... Continue Reading →
My Technology “Adventure”
I pride myself on being a geek. I may not be as brain-spry as I used to be, but I'm still pretty good at things like my computer or phone. Indeed, I've learned my lesson when it comes to laptops, specifically 2-in-1s. Never again. My latest one, the third in a line of identity-challenged laptops... Continue Reading →
Determination or Folly?
I will get at least one of these done in the next 24 hours. Or so I keep telling myself. I am my biggest cheerleader, after all. My eyes disagree with me. My fatigue is in league with my eyes. My heart wants to play with yarn and this thing is seriously cute – or... Continue Reading →
Words and Imagination
At a young age, I knew in my heart I was a writer. There’s just something magical about putting pen to paper and watching the words flow into a story. Yes, I know, I’m typing right now. Let’s skip over that for the moment. About that “flowing into a story” thing. I was surprised to... Continue Reading →
