EARLY MOTHER’S DAY!
Who wouldn’t love this? Run away to New York City for the day: early train down, arriving just in time for a boutique Italian wine tasting, followed by the requisite walk through Times Square, a visit to the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station, and the evening train home.

THE WAY, MY WAY
Just about one year ago, and thanks to a sabbatical semester, I was able to spend one week on The Way of Saint James, the Camino de Santiago, in northern Spain. This is an ancient pilgrimage route that ends in Santiago de Compostela, where the casket of Saint James lies under the altar of the cathedral. Pilgrims have walked the ... Read More » -

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

THE EASTER UPRISING
Our visit to Ireland included a hefty history lesson for most of the family members traveling, or maybe a refresher course for some, while others got new details to round out the story. My husband looooves watching the movie Braveheart. If it is on cable, it will be on our televisions. We quote William Wallace often. “Go back to England and ... Read More » -
