Mojo Road Trip 2024 Day 14 June 16, 2024 - Family

 Hello Fabulous Followers! Today is Father's Day and I am missing my daddy.  But I have a husband who is a wonderful father and a son, who if God willing will be a great father.

Our family reunion time is drawing to a close.  We are packing up and preparing to caravan back to the Albany Airport so family can fly back to Jacksonville.  Then Joe and I will be headed to Grand Isle, Vermont, outside of Burlington.  Ben and Colleen will continue with their life together in Saranac Lake.  I certainly hope we can begin a new tradition of getting together.

This weekend has been wonderful.  Time spent with a brother-in-law that we have not seen in several years and meeting his future wife. Family is special and it is important to recognize that we are not guaranteed tomorrow, so we must embrace today and enjoy our friends and family. I sat around today watching family kayak, get on a rowboat, play games, talk and laugh.  It is a special time that holds a special place in my heart. We get so busy with life, but we must step back and spend time with those we love. When we face our death bed, we should not speak of what if's or I wish I had....we should reflect on memories created that becomes our legacy and continues with future generations.

We particularly fell in love with a 3 pound yorkie poo named Ruby....shh!  don't tell anyone, but we may sneak her to Florida.

Enjoy our family pictures.  See you tomorrow. Blessings!

France 2025 - D Day

 Hello Fabulous Followers!  Joe and I have embarked upon another travel adventure - 40 days!  The first part of our journey lasts 20 days in France, traveling with a group led by our travel agent, Pam. We are on a AmaWaterways river cruise that started in Paris and navigating the Seine River northward. Now, I usually start a blog with the beginning of our journey (and I will catch you up), but I have been led in a different direction after today's experience. Today, we traveled to the beaches of Normandy and the American cemetery at Normandy.  We sang the National Anthem, had a flower bearing ceremony, listened to Taps and had a moment of silence. The veteran gentleman who presented the flowers is a member of our group.  What a touching moment! There are 5 Normandy beaches - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.  The Omaha beach stormed by the Americans was by far the most treacherous to navigate.  These soldiers had to escape the boats or die, and what w...

Mojo Rants and Blunders - France & More 2025

  Hey Fabulous Followers!  Yes, we have been back for 2 weeks, but voices in my head still wants me to write this blog.  These voices and thoughts have been in my head during our trip and they want out, so here goes! WARNING:  Some comments below are honest, true feelings and blunt. I have a few rants about this trip.   1. Europeans have better food, walk, take public transporation, and are mostly smaller than we Americans, but they like to smoke!  If you know me well, I abhor smoke, nicotine, tobacco, vaping, e-cigarettes. Go to a restaurant and the first thing they give you is an ashtray.  No way Jose, take that thing away!! But these people smoke and blow it in your face.  There were a few times, I thought about throat punching a few people. But I didn't, cause I am so sweet, but when I could I blew back in their face. So there! 2. Wash cloths.  Oh my word! While in Nice, Geneva, Brussels and Southampton - this was 10 nights!  No...

  Hey Fabulous Followers! This blog is dedicated to my Aunt Alice whom I called Auntie Mama! After my mom died, I coined the name Auntie Mama.  Aunt Alice looked a lot like my mom and people at times thought I was her daughter. Joe and I decided over a year ago to take this trip that was earned in a casino.  Since I was provided a balcony room for 2, I decided to upgrade to a junior suite with a sunset balcony. This means our room was in the aft or back of the ship.  It is an unbelievable sized balcony where we spent lots of time enjoying our private paradise. I                                                   This get away was about rest, relaxation and just enjoy being with each other.  We had 2 ports of call.  The first was Costa Maya . We took an excursion to the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins which means the " Place of the Red Corn ," ...
