London
Posted by Michelle on Oct 4, 2023 in Jeff, Michelle
Jeff and I went to London for eight days for our 25th anniversary! It was a magical trip – Stonehenge, Westminster Abbey coronation chair since 1200 and the Graves of Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots, Shakespeare, Dickens, Darwin, Kipling, Churchill, Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, etc. MacBeth at the Globe for open theatre in the round, Wicked at the Victoria Apollo. Beatles private taxi tour with walking across Abbey Road. Lillywhites – 5 story, 160 year old sporting goods store. British Museum private tour with Rosetta Stone, Parthenon Sculptures, mummies and the Bust of Rameses the Great. Soho, Carnaby Street, Chinatown, Beefmaster Guards…

2022 Yeah I’m still around
Posted by Michelle on Dec 26, 2022 in Hayley, Jeff, Michelle, More Family
Well after Mom, Dad and Cathie all died and all the Covid isolation, I didn’t feel like updating anything much. But it’s time to get back to normal.
As tough as things were, a lot of good things happened too. Trips to Boston, DC, Charlotte, Annapolis, West Jefferson and more. Visits with extended family, old and new friends. New babies, adoptions and graduations. Swearing ins, Galas, all sorts of great events. We even painted the house and I got a new Mercedes Benz (Hayley has my Jeep, lol). I’m healthy and loved – so much to be grateful for in my life.
So my 2022 Flickr collection is now updated with lots of albums – right before 2023 starts, haha.

Niagara & Toronto

Had an amazing vacation to Pittsburgh, Niagara Falls on the Canadian side and Toronto. Can’t wait to go back to Canada – I have family in BC and one of my grandmothers was from Nova Scotia.

Some favorites…
Doobie Brothers & Steely Dan
Posted by Michelle on Jun 3, 2018 in Hayley, Jeff, Michelle
I lost count of the number of Steely Dan shows I’ve been to… but they never get old. RIP Walter Becker, you were missed.
Nags Head
Posted by Michelle on May 6, 2016 in Hayley, Jeff, Michelle
We spent eight days in a lovely oceanfront cottage for Hayley’s spring break. I think my favorite part was this amazing deck that overlooked the beach with our own little walkway down there. We had friends staying nearby as well so it was a really fun week. We saw an old college roommate of mine Kelli and then Hayley got her license!

Our dear old friend Bryan married his longtime girlfriend Tina at the beach so we went down for the weekend and a mini-vacation – lots of seafood, old friends and even got out on the water in Beaufort.
