SUN, SAND AND SIBLING REVELRY
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not that time. Sturgis Bike Rally week.
Can you picture me on a Harley, clad in leather? Me neither. While my husband’s on his annual two-wheeled adventure, I’m heading to North Carolina.
The week zips by. My time’s spent doggy loving, shopping, and swimming. Not to mention bantering with my brother and commiserating with his longsuffering wife.
Back at my computer in Missouri, this landlocked mermaid basks in the fading glow of sunshine on ocean waves. Is it too soon to book next year’s flight?

Yes. It is to soon to book another flight. Unless I’m with you. A nice reflection of your past week. Another set of memories and experiences to make life a little more fun. Good story. Until next year.__

Dear Jan,
I know it was a disappointing week for you. Next year will be better. 😉 Perhaps one of these days we can go there together. ❤

Lovely! And … no, it is NOT too soon! We used to book our time in Ogonquit, Maine, every year at checking out … for the same calendar week the following year.

Na’ama Y’karah,
Traditionally, I book my flight to Wilmington in February or there about when I know the Sturgis schedule so we can synchronize our trips. 😉 The fares are usually lower then as well. Meanwhile my brother and I look forward to August. Thank you.

Jeff has told me that I don’t have to wait until August. Perhaps one of these days I’ll do a midyear visit.

That looks like a lot of fun. I would so love to go and visit my friend in Perth (all the way on the other side of the country) We’re now in Week 8 of lockdown. Can’t go any further than 5km (3 miles) from home. No visitors to your home, no visiting anyone else in their home. Only one person per household to go grocery shopping – unless you’re a single parent with children. Schools are closed except for essential workers (Drs, Nurses, etc) Would love it to be different, but until people learn to obey the rules, it ain’t going to change. In the meanwhile, I’ll enjoy reading holiday blogs posts from my friends.

Dear Lyn,
I’m so sorry for the lockdown. I don’t look forward to it happening here. But the way people are ignoring the elephant in the room…Meanwhile people…more and more of them children…are paying the price.
I’m glad you enjoyed my share and took the time to say so. Thank you.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Dear Keith,
I usually book my trip in the winter when the rates for summer are down. Then I synchronize with my husbands plan for the bike rally.
It’s tempting to book a one-way. 😉 Thank you.
Shalom,
Rochelle

My husband would definitely complain. 😉 I had a snafu Friday night with my flight and left Saturday morning instead. My brother threatened to adopt me. He didn’t want me to leave.

Oh, Rochelle,
Sturgis? There may have been a time. But no longer on any list of mine. My son told me, “If you can’t pick it up, you shouldn’t be riding it.” I’m still on two wheels, but my scooter is pick-up-able (not that I’ve ever needed to). LOL
Good to see some siblings still claiming each other. Well done.
