Searching for Rainbows During Viral Times

Last Friday, April 3rd, was "National Find a Rainbow Day". These past few days I've searched my digital photos for rainbow pictures I've taken over the years.

Rainbows are considered an international symbol of hope and so, if it's raining where you are today—either literally or figuratively—don't stop searching for rainbows.

Take care and stay safe, everyone.

Where Will You Go Today?

My parents loved to travel and every summer our family explored a state or region within a day’s drive of our home in Pennsylvania. I credit my parents with planting those first seeds of yearning, of wanting to explore and to learn about the world beyond my doorstep. My Dad had only one week’s vacation and so we never ventured beyond the Mississippi. Finally, the summer after my first year of graduate school, my dream of touring the west came true. With a roommate, an old car and a cheap orange tent I traveled the country from Pennsylvania to California and from that first cross-country trip I’ve been hooked on the joy of discovery.

Come along with me on this journey. We’ll travel from national parks to national historic sites, from primitive campgrounds to luxury B&B’s, from fields and streams to cities and towns. I’ll share both descriptions of and opinions about the places we’ll go. You’ll have a chance to learn of a new hidden treasure or to re-visit cherished locales. I welcome your comments.

Where will you go today? The world is waiting......
