Bittersweet

​As I was going through the photos on my phone last night, trying to make some space for the photos that I will be taking over the next 14 days, I realized I had several that I just couldn’t bear to part with.  They evoke too many wonderful memories…

Ambitious Morning

​I must say… I enjoy these mid afternoon flights! I have always been a person who gets a lot of things done under pressure, so I fit quite the schedule into my morning! The most important, the location for the Jabs family reunion 2027 has been settled on, so during my 1st cup of coffee, I booked an Airbnb for the family, reserved a 15 passenger van to take us all there, and tentatively made plans for us to travel onto Medora after the reunion😂😂👏👏!

“What is Medora?” Adryan asked in the text. 

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

“ Just a whole lot of magnificent wonderful,” I exclaimed!

Medora😆😆😆👏👏🇺🇸💕🇺🇸💕🇺🇸💕🤗

Leavin’ on a Jet Plane

​The fall has arrived to Montana  in all of its beautiful splendor. I couldn’t help to take a picture of my view as I head out for my walks in the early morning hours…

I will be leaving soon for the airport to catch a mid afternoon flight. One connection in Minneapolis, and then we are off to Amsterdam! It will be so nice being able to get off at our first European stop, and not have to make a connection to go on yet again after a lengthy flight. That has been probably the most difficult part of traveling across the ocean for me as I get older. The connections. While Dean was still traveling with me internationally (I think it was after our Israel trip), we agreed that we should have our first landing  on European soil be our first overnight stay, if not two overnights. Just to ‘right’ ourselves. So in actuality, this fits into that plan very well! 😂 I am looking forward to visiting Europe once again!  Our weather is supposed to be just perfect, and much like it will be at home. So stay tuned for ‘Adventuresinlateryears’! 💕🤗💕

Anticipation

​…of things soon to come! 

Simple Things

​Wine:30…

And my department gate…

Right. Next. Door.

Capitola

​Our day was spent in beautiful Capitola yesterday. More ocean therapy for me! 

Michelle’s sister Heidi enjoys wine just as much as I do, if not more, so whenever she sees a ‘Wine Tasting’ sign, in we go! 😂 But we’ve met some fantastic people along the way! 😊

And lunch! Up on a hillside and serviced by a funicular!  But Heidi and I walked back to the top! 💕

And just some more pretty 😊👏👏!

Castroville, Michelle’s home town, is the artichoke capital of the world😆😂😂👏!

A beautiful time was had here with some special ladies  💕

And this…

So many in California are ready for change!  It is encouraging to see their determination.💕
