These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Back home
Reflections on my trip ...
• I flew down with John Cusack. He's better looking in person but seems to be losing his battle with male pattern baldness
• The weather was perfect. Between 75º and 80º, slight breeze, sunny.
• My friend hugged me more often than usual. He knows how scared I am about what's about to happen at work and was trying to comfort me.
• I visited a new museum! I thought that after more than 10 trips, I had seen just about all Key West had to offer. WRONG! Mel Fisher's Maritime Museum has been on the island for years, but it was new to me. Treasures of retrieved from shipwrecks like the Atocha are on display. I was stunned by the 78-karat uncut emerald. Gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteThe museum sounds wonderful. Glad you had a great time and got extra hugs too. That's always nice.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on Monday. I'll say a little prayer.
Welcome back to the cold! Sounds so nice to enjoy that kind of weather in the middle of winter.
