Life is a Journey

This has always been one of my favorite buildings on Main Street. No matter what time of day or what season, I always stop to admire it.

I haven't been to the Parks in ages and every once in a while I go though my photos and pout, LOL. Here we have a shot taken from a balcony at the Grand Californian. I figured that since I haven't been doing much of anything, I could at least post random photos once in a while, right?

This visit took place in January and while I started uploading photos as soon as I got home, I forgot all about writing the post to go with it! Call me crazy but it seems that ever since I started working from home, I don't have time to do anything. Route 66. I love the images that pop into my head whenever I see or hear of it. My friends are big Route 66 buffs and every time they come out to California, they take me on an adventure in search of Route 66 tidbits. One such tidbit is Roy's Motel and Cafe. It is slowly being restored and truly a delight to see if you are into Route 66 history . We drove from Palm Springs on a clear, cold, windy day (perfect!) and I was genuinely thrilled when we drove up and saw the giant sign. The little cabins have all been freshly painted on the outside and here and there you can see signs of a slow but diligent restoration. Upon closer inspection, I found that one of the doors was unlocked and I couldn't resi...

Are you still wondering where I am? It's called Riverwalk Parkway and it is a jewel of a place. So tranquil.   If I had not been wearing my good jeans, I would have gone out on those rocks (above) to sit for a spell! Wow, we have our very own Stonehenge, lol. You have to admit, that's an odd looking rock...I'm just saying...   I was surprised to find that I had only been in the park 20 minutes but it felt like I had been there a couple of hours. It really did wonders for me. I hope you enjoyed the pics. I found a couple of other posts that I had started back in January and never finished so those will be up soon. I promise!

So as you know, I have a little gig working from home and I have to say that it's hard being stuck at home all day. It really is. Oh sure, you get to throw in a load of laundry or grab a snack but once you clock out, you are sill.....home...inside the house....haven't seen the light of day.  It's starting to get to me. On Saturday I woke up at my usual time (6:30) and I went into the kitchen to make some coffee. All of my roommates were dead (asleep) and I knew they would remain so for several hours. I showered, got dressed, grabbed my coffee and my purse and got in the car and started driving with no particular destination in mind. If only I had my Disneyland pass. (insert big sob here) I had heard about a park close by so I drove there and decided to walk around a bit. I am so glad I did. It was early in the morning and there was no one around except for ducks of all shapes and sizes. Within minutes I began to feel the tension melt away. This is what I needed. I walke...
