These are from 4 years ago.  We wll see how much it has changed.  I know they have a brand new beach.  Hot days, soft nights, sumptuous food, cute guys to photograph on the beach, plus lots to do!

Yippee!  Home to do laundry, pack, or shall I say repack.  There is way too much in the suitcase.  Need to simplify

Their signature burger off the lunch menu is to die for!  Best in the Quad Cities!

St John Vianny and The University Club

The conservatory was filled with color and beautiful cloudy light!

I refer to ownership of this blog.  It’s all mine!  I love to journal and some of it occurs here.  Recently me having two glasses of wine as opposed to a muscle relaxant for a spasm’ing back came up for discussion.

I being me, took the redheaded approach and stated my opinion with fireworks, verbal explosions and much dramatic license .  I didn’t win the discussion, but I will have the last word photographically!

Here’s to the wine I had today for lunch.   It tasted great!  I don’t need meds!    So I decided to post this image and tell you how much I love you for taking care of me.  I offer one piece of advice, “this redhead rollerskates on the ceiling and does so with reckless abandon.  She loves life and is never afraid to be outside the “normal box”!! She will never arrive at the end of her life with a lot of regrets for things she was afraid to do!”

Love you……..see you when I get back from Mexico!!

More to come!
