slaDE~, Uncle Pete and sKY::Sometimes goodbyes can be so challenging …. and leaving Northern California, for me, has always been like leaving a part of my heart behind. This moment in time appears to be no different as I spend the day silently preparing for the crux of my being to be divided once again. The saying of ‘Leaving one’s heart in San Francisco’ is no joke! I can relate ….
But not only is it the culture, nature’s environment, the planetary consciousness and spirituality that draws me like a lover to the west coast, it’s the friends who have emblazoned themselves like a tattoo on my being. And for this, I am forever grateful.
What a way to start a week of adventure on the Outer Banks! slaDE and I were in pursuit of finding the Wild Horses of Currituck County.

The ‘Cheese’, as it’s lovingly displayed by my silly husband :). The true adventure began however at my favourite salad bar…
A quiet windy day by the pool. So windy that slaDE~ wasn’t able to get his 2 scuba dives in due to the strong current and waves. Patiently he waited, studying for his scuba quizzes and Padi final exam. And with flying colours, he excelled to the point of only needing to finish his remaining…
Houston was immobilized with an ice storm last night. Freezing rain hammered the city, but not an ounce of snow was to be seen. Seems the weather moved further north overnight and the snow sent Dallas scrambling for cover (hope they manage to clear it all up for Sunday’s Superbowl game!). However, the cold snap…
