The road had a 30 degree grade
and primitive, stone, with crushed rock and narrow. We traveled the Secret Pass looking at nature and taking pictures. We were careful to remember each turn in the road.

I refuse to grow up!
Last evening about 10 P.M. I ventured outside with binoculars, flashlights and Daisy (canine companion here). The moon was absent from view and the stars were so bright and close. They seemed to twinkle more and more as I watched. The wind was soft at first and embrassed me and then as the night... Sign in to see full entry.

What do these words have in common with one another?
Yesterday I had a new experience! I had a 40 minute interview on the telephone with an RN. She represents an Insurance Company. I made a request for a LTC (long term care policy) a few weeks ago.
