I'm not feeling insecure or frustrated!
I'm living the dream!
The Best Traveling Buddy in the World
Heading Out of Vancouver, Canada
Chasing Bucket List Dreams
Maybe not writing dreams for a bit,
but exploring places I've always wanted to see.
Wild Alaska, Glacier Bay

And now I'm in Nova Scotia spending time
with my extended family and friends!
It's hard to beat that!
My Siblings and I

This has been a crazy, wonderful summer,
with more fun and zaniness to come.
I just have to figure out how to increase
my writing productivity and output while I travel.

Meanwhile I'm collecting lots of memories,
photographs, and notes for future writing.
Grand Pacific Glacier
Glacier Bay, Alaska
Does anyone have a good memoir to recommend?
I'm at least getting a page or two read at night before I crash.
Happy writing everyone!
Definitely can see the family resemblance. I'd like to go to Alaska... The solitary bird on his tiny glacier is funny,
ReplyDeleteAlaska is awesome, Susie! I hope you get to go there!
DeleteSure traveling here and there and everywhere from sea to sea haha nothing wrong with living such a dream.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat! Have a good one!
DeleteWow - from one coast to the other! Your bucket list and mine share(d) a few items! I can almost smell the water! I lived in coastal SC for many years. The ocean breeze smells so totally different there - I love the crisp, cool briny smell from the cold water areas.
ReplyDeleteHi Dreaming! Coast to coast is right, and I'm headed back to Victoria on Vancouver Island for a month. Maybe then I'll be able to catch up with everyone. I am breathing in all the fresh, cool, salt air I can! Hope all is will with all the Dreamys!
DeleteGreat thoughts and nice and happy photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Blogoratti! I like happy photos!
DeleteYou're adding to your list of experiences and that's what makes for a great writer.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I really like the lighthouse. (I wonder why...?)
Hey, Alex! I feel like I've been doing the lighthouse tour of Nova Scotia! Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteBeautiful photos, Louise! Looks like a great time!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! You're comments always lift my spirits. Take care!
DeleteYour words always are entertaining, fascinating, and I always wait for Friday's words, as your Dad's letters and the way you introduce them, the places he was living, is truly wonderful. Without these, I would not know about any of the wonderful areas at all. I think you have ample to draw from to write about, and life experience enhances it all. Lovely family photo, what a wonderful time together.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! I've been thinking of you and Hugh, even if I haven't been able to get around and visit. I do hope he is recovering well. I'm having the best time with my family. Family is the best, isn't it! Although I do wish that Terry could have been here too. I hope that you are enjoying a lovely weekend! Hugs!
DeleteWow, you can't get a much more inspiring landscape. This trip must be doing wonders to expand your mind, and time spent with family must be very refreshing. I love the picture of the birds on the ice floe.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nick! Sorry I've not answered before now; but I'm in the middle of a trip home to family. That means a lot of late parties. Thanks for the encouraging comment. Have a good one!
