Honeymoon Hotel

As we were entering Savannah today we passed this hotel. I recognized the sign and snapped a photo. At first I thought it was from movie to TV show. Once I mentioned it to my parents, they told me it was one of the hotels they stayed at during their honeymoon. I realized I remembered the sign from our family photo album. :-) - P

Merry Christmas!

December Thaw

It wasn't cold out today.  It wasn't warm either.  There was a bright presence long forgotten in the sky that made an appearance, or at least tried, to prove that it hadn't totally abandoned the area.  Very few people besides me decided that it was a good idea to venture to the local Lake Erie beach, but I think times when it is semi-vacant are the most magical.  Even though the snow is gone now, it will come back.  Hopefully in the next couple days, in time for Christmas. -A

Why Did the Deer Cross the River?

Today I think it was for me. So I could stop in complete observation and awe. These are the kinds of interruptions in a daily routine that are welcomed gratefully. Perfect day to be surprised on a run. -A

Relaxing Tuesday

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet my friend J at the Botanical Gardens. It was a perfect October day. The best part was that it was a weekday and I was able to spend it with a friend.  I also enjoyed how quiet it was and not having to deal with the weekend crowds. - P

Autumn Ride

It is a day you want to bottle up and bring out in the cold dark winter or the dog days of summer. Perfect sun, temperature, and breeze. -A

Crater Lake

Two months ago I vacationed in Oregon, one of my favorite places to visit.  This time we took a road trip to Crater Lake.  The views and the lake and the scenery were so picture perfect it felt like I was walking through a painting.  You could even see the brush strokes on the water, in the sky, and in the shoreline.  -A

Bits of Fall

Fall is here! It arrived quickly and quietly this year. I plan to enjoy the crisp cool mornings, warm days, and early sunsets.  - P

Farewell August

It's hard to believe August is almost over. My flowers are in full bloom but signs of fall are already here. Here's to enjoying the last few weeks of summer. I know I will. -P

A Brief Walk

Sometimes schedules get hectic and work leaves me drained.  These are great times to remember during a late lunch break that the park is just minutes away. I took a much needed walk and got a dose of fresh air today.  -A
