I had two shows yesterday – one at 2:30 and the other at 8:00 – which left me about three hours in-between to shoot some of the spectacular scenery that often goes unnoticed by audiences who go straight into the theatre without looking around the property. This is a popular spot with actors on two-show...
Although my sisters and I have all moved South, my dad and most of my aunts, uncles, and cousins still live in Philadelphia where our ancestors first settled when they came to the United States from Ireland, England, Wales, and Germany. My dad loves to tell me stories about his childhood, so when I was...
I’m not much of a sun person. We fair-skinned, redhaired, Irish girls tend to burn. But I do love the beach if I can have some shade – or a big hat. So we rode our bikes to the Fort Zachary Taylor State Park and then strolled along the Gulf Coast. ...
We took a trolley tour that took us all over the island. Our guide’s name was Michael and he was “awesome!” (that’s what he asked us to put on his comment card). While I was dreaming of giving up my job and moving to Key West, I decided that being a tour guide...
We saw a great female impersonator by the name of Randy Roberts on our last night in Key West. What a fabulous time! He looked amazing (especially his Cher!), was really funny, and sang his ass off! We just loved him! (hence all the exclamation points!!!)

See how this cat just worships our guide? It probably has something to do with the treats in his pockets.
The bottom section of this water feature was a urinal...
One of the places that we visited while in Key West was a butterfly museum (I’ll find the name here someplace). It was quite an amazing sight to see.
There were birds, too.

We just got back from Florida yesterday. I’ve got 941 photos to dig through, but here’s one that quickly caught my eye. More (much more) later!
For Christmas this year, Ginnie and I gave my nieces tickets to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. And since they are only 9 and 6 years old, they couldn’t very well go by themselves, so we took them to New York one very cold weekend in January.
We crammed a lot into our just-over-24-hour trip....
