My little coffee buddy, as seen through the patio screen. He chirps and sputters as he cleans his little face each morning. 🍁🍂🤎

It was a chilly day while taking care of little kids after school until they got picked up.
"Where's your coat, Young Man?" I asked.
6 yo, "Somewhere...(Long pause) over the rainbow?"
I began to sing. 🎶
Interrupted by a 7 yo.
"Look at the rainbow!!!!" 🌈
6 yo, "That is the FUNNIEST THING I've seen!"

One year ago, my front yard tree was looking all dashing and vibrant, but this year it's quite sparse and sad! (I get it, my friend. I get it...)
At least the sky is lovely and temps are mild. 🍂🍁

This may look like a blurry camera photo through a window screen, but I find it stunning. My Dad took this; he is blind. 💘

Today, I finally cleaned my golf clubs, scrubbed golf balls, threw out stuff crumpled in the bottom of the bag, and replenished the bug spray and sunscreen.
Some days, if that's all I can accomplish after getting out of bed, it's a win. #TheStruggleIsReal

📷 Bruges, Belgium today

A crew member I befriended on the ship saw me step off the bus and called out to me. He graciously gave me a personal tour of the town, and we had such an amazing time. This is such an enchanting place! See Alt Text.

"Hallo" from Rotterdam, The Netherlands!
Another cold and drizzly day and a tour gone awry and cancelled, but that didn't stop me from roaming around on my own. See Alt Text for details. 📷💖

Just a woman, on a cruise, spreading a little love. Some people approve, and some don't. 🤷♀️
Karma will take care of what I cannot fix on my own .
