Dream vacation!





I gauge the success of my vacations by how long they feel and this one felt like it lasted a month! But I've experienced something I've never felt before. A let down. For the first time ever I lost energy and felt a huge let down realizing I had to get back to reality. Mind you, my reality rocks but I still felt like the air had been let out of my sails.


The rest of my week rolled along....hitting the final Indians game with my sister and aunt....visiting friends I'd not seen in eons.....witnessing a visible sign from Mom --her trademark rainbow letting me know everything will be ok. I enjoyed the Larchmere Porchfest....and capped off the week at the Metromix birthday party. I can not believe how each day towered atop the previous day's festivities. Absolutely uncanny.


Funny the roads we travel....6 months ago I was hoping to be with my Indians in San Francisco this past weekend. An unrealistic pipe dream, but it's good to dream and reach for the stars! So, I watched my boys on TV ....and took the road less traveled which lead me down much greener pastures over the last five days.



Life is good! God is good. I truly am blessed.

Summer's here!


We started having nice weather, temps in the 80's, back in May I believe.


Well, summer is officially here and there were Summer Solstice celebrations all over Northeast Ohio.


What great fun and a super way to officially kick off 'summer.'


As we traveled around our neighborhood Saturday, all you heard was music eminating from street to street as the 1st annual Larchmere Porchfest embarked on the Larchmere-Shaker Square neighborhood.


It was WONDERFUL!


Each street you visited had onlookers and music-lovers gathered around at least one house which held a free concert on their porch for all to enjoy.


Shaker Square was rockin' all night long and then folks who did not want the evening to end made their way to Boulevard Blue for the Larchmere Porchfest 'after party.'


We have a terrific, eclectic neighborhood.


From preliminary reports, the 1st annual Larchmere Porchfest was a smashing success and organizers are already planning next year's event!
