Post 10/2025. Cornwall UK. We're enjoying sharing Cornwall with niece Rachel for a short spell. We've covered paths old and new and met friends. Of course, the time has been too short but we've made the most of it, I believe. The longest walk was St Michael's Way. The path goes from St Uny Church …
Post 6/2025. Cornwall UK. Hail March. New month. It's anything like the weather proverb: "In like a lion, out like a lamb." Gorgeous day. We did a three-plus mile walk along Church Lane to the West Cornwall Golf Club and then back on the upper, sometimes still muddy, footpath above the expansive Porthkidney Sands Beach. …
Post 5/2025. Carbis Bay, Cornwall UK. Windy. Muddy. Overcast. More rain than needed. Who's complaining? Not me. We arrived on schedule and have had a warm welcome. Marilyn and Steve had us over for morning coffee. On Sunday we attended St Anta & All Saints church. On Wednesday Lynne kindly took us along to do …
Post 1/2025 Goshen IN. What misery colds carry. Sniffles. Cough. Blahs. Concerns. Is it really just a common cold or one of the other superbugs that have a thing for our airways? Decaf tea with lemon and honey. Some OTC meds. No fever. Recovery seems afoot, even as worries linger. That’s my welcome to early …
Post 38/2024. Goshen, Indiana. THE HARVEST MOON glowed softly as I peered at it from our driveway and snapped it handheld. Of late I've been testing my old, assumed no longer functional, point and shoot pocket camera, a Nikon Coolpix S7000. I retired the camera some years ago because of cloudy (moisture?) spots on the …

Grandstand entertainment. Harness racing. Carnival. Commercial vendors. Food (75 vendors). One had a choice of many, many activities from the gates opening at 8am until the …
Post 29/2024 Goshen Indiana. Marianne stays at home in her senior community in New Hamburg, Ontario. She doesn't drive anymore. Eschews WIFI. Is happy to stay mostly put. Yet this nurse who practiced in northern Canadian regions and in southwestern Ontario and served with her husband Ray in Botswana, is as active as almost ever. …
Post 27/2024 Goshen Indiana. For some it's a vacation. For others it's a holiday. Same thing. The English publication, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage by H.W. Fowler (Oxford University Press, 1983), says, "vacation is in America the ordinary word for what we call a holiday. In Britain it is not so used except (often …
Post 24/2024 Goshen Indiana. Early mornings last week were a gift. Cool. Fresh. A walkable start in waking up to days of long light. The troubling part is the forecast of sustained higher temperatures this week. When is heat too hot to handle? Mind you, we'll be minding the thermometer and limiting our time out …
Post 22/2024 Goshen IN. It has been a quiet week after the noisy last leg home from Canada (see Post 21). We had a nice few days with Gerald and Mary and Richard and Sharon at Oliver Lake. Richard and I pressure washed the deck. That task, come to think of it, was pretty noisy, …
