Bro Ray's 80 th Bda party
Tuesday 10/21/25 👣 Good morning 🌞 How's my love 😍 today? 👣 I am frustrated with poor sleep and nightmares. Probably from too much sugar at bedtime Cupcake cakes are challenging for me.. all that extra icing just waiting to be eaten😢 Oh, well, it's a new day! 👣 Yesterday's energy level was better, partly due to my decision to skip my Northern tour. And I googled being so tired. It can take a week or more for me (as an elder) to recover from my trip... with that info unde

Landing in Chicago
#5 Friday 10/17/25 I just decided that it works to send out ALL my collages from my trip east (and return) now... and not worry about doing a report tomorrow!! So... here you go: Landing in Chicago, glad American Air owns so much of the airport.. I don't have to change terminals, just gates 😊I got on the plane with only a USBC Cord - survived it! More on 'don't flush'. Backpack damage, cannabis disposal and a macaroni grill.

Lobster trap buoys
#3 Friday 10/17/25 🦞 Wrapping up my trip to Maine: While still on the topic of lobster, gotta tell you about my first ever ever lobster experience: 🦞 In Minneapolis in my very early 20s my date bought me a lobster dinner. The kind way you have to crack the shell in order to get the meat out. That work was OK and I tasted that lobster for the very first time ever, dipped it in the butter like he said I should. The flavor was so OMG bland, I turned to the waiter: "Can I have

Beautiful fall colors
#2 Friday 10/17/25 🦞 More on my Maine visit! Did I mention that this trip ended my bucket list of making it to all 50 of our United States? And I got my lobster for breakfast, lunch and dinner the whole 48 hours I was here, visited nephew Charlie and his traveling nurse wife Glenda, and saw a lighthouse. I'm good 🙂 🦞 Collages: two more of fall colors, more lobster adventures, Charlie's pancake breakfast, Glenda drove me to a lighthouse, and we enjoyed a lobster lunch on t

Lobster 3x a Day!!
Friday 10/17/25 😊 Good Morning, Dear Heart 💜 How are you doing? 😊 I am ok... got about 8 hours of sleep"sleep" last night and just spent over an hour in some rabbit holes.

Thursday 10/16/25 🦞 Good morning, My Lobster Lover. (Or DO you love lobster?) You doing ok today? 🛫 I am... awake, barely. Hoping my caffeine tablets kick in pretty soon.

Bardwell Family Research
Monday 10/13/25 🍁 Good morning🍂 How are you doing with your fall colors? I'm finding more up here in New England.! 🍂 As I contemplate the mixed meaning of Columbus Day/Indian Heritage Day, I am ready to head for Bangor Maine. 🍁 Yesterday I found my way back to the Bardwell Farm at 49 Main St. in Hatfield MA. I figured Harrison wouldn't be around, but neither was his dad. I chatted with B, the non-family produce stand attendant. She said her Grandfather is buried here. 🍂
