My first trip through the Florida Keys with Nikki and Cookie was back in February 2016. That's when the annual Mom and Nikki day trip to Key West was born. From that point on, when I visited Nikki each winter, we'd take a day trip through the Keys to Key West. The last thing we'd… Continue reading A Mom and Nikki Florida Keys Day Trip

Christmas Lights – Cookie’s Final Resting Place – Homestead FL
In early December I made the 5+ hour trip from St Augustine, Florida to Homestead, Florida. Normally, I don't like to drive more than a couple of hours in a day but the campgrounds in northeastern Florida were full for the Holiday's so I made the trip in one fell swoop. In the past, when… Continue reading Christmas Lights – Cookie’s Final Resting Place – Homestead FL
St Augustine FL – Getting Lab Work Done While On The Road

A Creek Runs Through It – Warren Illinois
Earlier this month the temps were in the upper 60's. The upper 60's is my most favorite temperature range. Sadly, in the house, Dad needs the heat on much higher than I want it set at and it's not comfortable for me. The house is super warm and stuffy (and I don't do well with… Continue reading A Creek Runs Through It – Warren Illinois
Cookie Has A Lump – I Have Gallbladder Surgery
Cookie Goes Back To The Vet... Cookie has cysts and lumps on his body. The Vet always told me not to worry about them and to just keep an eye on them. Mid-last week (August 7), seemingly out of nowhere, the lump on the back of Cookie's neck started growing. This happened the same day I… Continue reading Cookie Has A Lump – I Have Gallbladder Surgery
