Twin Lakes is our second home, filled with lifelong friends, lots of laughter, fabulous meals, a hypnotic lake view, and lots of wine! The days are long and slow; the biggest decision to be made all day is red or white. The mis-Management of Donna and Ted adds to the charm…everything is calm and takes…

Nova Scotia
Wow, had we know how beautiful Nova Scotia was we would have planned to stay longer. if you like the looks of stony beaches lined by mile high pines….well, NS is the place! Around every bend was another beautiful wild scene. We would go back to Nova Scotia in a heartbeat…New Brunswick, not so…
Peggy’s Cove
A drive through Halifax and southward to Peggy’s Cove was longer than anticipated. A couple of times we thought of bagging it but drove onward….so glad we did! What a cool place! The second you pass by the sign that tells you it is a preservation district, the landscape changes from one of grassy rolling…
Table for Two
The walk to the wharf was short, several minutes at best; the road paved, the scenery drop dead gorgeous. We strolled past several fishing village huts and walked up to the first door we saw that was open. The catch was in and being weighed and sorted. “Got any to sell?” “Sure…how big?” “you pick”….
Rivers of Mud
A huge portion of New Brunswick (and Nova Scotia, too) are affected by the tides of the Bay of Fundy. When the tides are out, the riverbeds reveal their underbellys of deep chocolate mud. They almost look glacial except for the color. The flow of the water carves the mud into hills and gorges and…
Bay of Fundy
It is hard to explain the feeling you get while walking on the ocean floor….when there is no water there! Hopewell Rocks in the Bay of Fundy is an experience that makes you realize that you are a speck in this universe….the power and majesty of nature is the star of the show. The tides…
beep, ditty beep….NEWS FLASH…beep, ditty beep
News Flash! This just in from New Brunswick, Canada. There are no more moose nor lobster in New Brunswick. The province is in chaos! Actually, it is true….there are no Moose in NB. We have driven hundreds of miles on highways that have “Attention Moose Next 10 miles” signs and small back roads, even some…
Coastal Capers
Visits with a couple of Buzz’s high school buddies in the Boston area were fabulous! So fun to catch up with old friends….Buzz and Danny and Joe have been friends since elementary school! Joe is a serious skeet shooter (he even loads his own shells) so we got to tag along and he gave great…
Corning, New York
So the first stop of our North east tour was Corning, New York. What a lovely town! We were there for Glass Fest and began the weekend with the 2300 (degrees) Glass Blowing demos at the Corning Museum of Glass. The gentleman who actually started the glass studio 20 years ago, William Gudenrath, led us…
Homeless
Well, we did it…we stepped off the proverbial ledge into homelessness….we closed on the house sale today to a very nice young couple whom we feel will love our former home and take good care of it. We wish them all the best. But our homelessness is only a state of not owning shelter. We…
Today is the First Day of the Rest of Our Lives….Literally!
Research, research research. Can we really sell our house, store all our belongings and travel for an extended period of time? Can we handle being “homeless”? Can we afford it? Will our friends and families think we are nuts? Well, we answered all the questions with a resounding YES! (And our friends and families already…
