Travel | Italy

My Zazzle Travel | Italy Collection was one of my planned goals for this year. Little did I realize I would be reliving my wonderful Italian adventures

as Italy is under siege from Covid-19. Nor did I expect to be confined to home indefinitely as Covid-19 ravages the US.

Sorting through photos from six different trips has been a poignant journey. Such happy times that now sadden me. Will I ever be able to return? I worry about the interesting, friendly, happy people I met while I was there. I have no family connections, no history, but Italy spoke to me.

UPDATE - Duck

The Canada geese have arrived and Duck is thrilled.  It's been a long lonely winter. Only a few water birds have come around. Most of the winter Duck has been floating around on the pond alone. Now her friends are back and she is just a few steps or paddles behind. 

Duck is one of the many joys of my morning walks. I first introduced Duck a couple years ago in the following post. So glad she is still in the neighborhood.

Travel | Florida

Glamping camping in Florida State Parks is a new adventure. I've never camped so there is no way at age 70 I'm going to start camping. However, a friend bought a cute little Camp-Inn teardrop -- a queen-size bed, air conditioning (a must in Florida), and a lovely outside galley for cooking.
