Family Getaway to the Ocean Ritz in Panama City Beach
My goal in life is to be half as cool as my mom is when I am 89. From her, I inherited my height, long legs, and great complexion. Thanks, Mom. She also taught me how to shop for bargains, how to dress nicely no matter what the occasion, and how to be a true lady … Continue reading

Somehow I missed posting this last winter when we visited the Grand Geneva Resort in Wisconsin but I love this shot Tom got of ducks taking off from a frozen creek. Pin It
Pin ItOur First Gondola Tour with La Gondola
Our gondolier, dressed in the traditional striped shirt and flat, straw hat, smiled at us as he paddled the gondola away from the dock. If this image conjures up a gondola trip on one of the ubiquitous canals in Italy, you would be completely wrong. We were enjoying our lovely gondola experience on the Providence … Continue reading
