My summer goal is to relax, enjoy my yard and also begin the decluttering process.

Relax and unwind for the next few weeks before I have to go back to teaching high schoolers.

As I enter my 90th year, I will swim/exercise.  Walking has become painful.

      I will be celebrating being married to my best friend for 48 years this summer. Our current wonder/wander list included visiting all the lighthouses in the United States that are operated as B&B's. We have traveled to the Heceta Head Lighthouse in Oregon, the East Brother Light Station in San Rafael Bay, California (yes that meant arriving and departing only by boat), the Big Bay Point Lighthouse in Michigan, and this year will be the last one on the list, the Saugerties Lighthouse on the Hudson River in New York. Each one has been memorable for different reasons...the 7-course breakfast Oregon and spectacular coastline in Oregon, seeing closeup the long lost but recovered historic Fresnel lens in Michigan (and thankfully no hauntings as reputed), and being in the midst of a sailing regatta and a pod of whales in California. Can't wait to see what lies in store for us                on this adventure!

We are also planning to move to another state to be closer to our daughter and her family.  Decluttering the house in order to sell is what we are doing.
