Perhaps, like me, you will not likely ever find yourself meeting up with a grizzly bear. I intentionally avoid places where bears might live. Not only grizzlies, but black bears and polar bears. There’s nowhere I need to hike so badly that I’d take a chance on meeting up with a bear. I have a treadmill, thank you.

Even as a teen who loved to play in the sun, I would have told you my favourite season was fall. It was my fave time to ride my motorcycle, too. I’d rather be a little cool than too hot. Summertime, properly dressed for safety, it can get awfully steamy on a bike. Not to mention, in general life.

It made me heat up like I was having a hot flash (not yet!) and turned my skin red. But I wore it anyway, because I adored my aunt and anything she gave me.

I couldn’t wear shoes for the first five days I was home from my recent European adventure. (BTW I will move on to other topics next week! This post is really more about feet and shoes than anything else.)

We now know that populist Hungarian President Viktor Orban was swept out of office after sixteen years. My cousin BA and I were due to arrive in Budapest the day after the election. As our flight drew closer, Orban was talking about trying to cancel voting and there were widespread protests. It looked anything but calm in the country’s capital.

There’s a strange phenomenom when you come home from a big trip. At a certain point you wonder, did that really happen? Thank goodness there are photographs to prove my seventeen days in three countries were all real.

It’s finally here! I’ve dreamed about going to Poland since I was a little girl. And now I’m going with the other person in my life who had the same dream, my cousin (and great friend) Barbara Anne.

I usually publish a blog post on Fridays. Last week, the schedule got interrupted because I’m having some work done on my website. Some folks wrote and inquired about where I’d gone. Thank you for caring!
