I bought my New York Pass today so I can see over 80 attractions in NYC. I needed to go this route as the Statue of Liberty was really booking up fast! I can’t believe it! Only ten days until my trip begins. I’m so excited! And I’ll be blogging all the time I’m away…
Kids are gone for the school year. This year was tough. I had several really difficult personalities in my class. So, I’m relieved it’s over. I still have five days of training but that is doable and financially profitable. It will pay for my plane ticket to Europe. Now I’m just hangin out in my…
I have a lot of rituals for summer fun. One of them is watching this movie: The Shell Seekers. I read the book years ago because Grandma said she liked it! What a great story. It’s about a woman who cannot find her happiness. Her mother had the gift of happiness, but died before she…
