Swimming with fairies and the beauty of Skye

Posted on May 30, 2010December 9, 2020 by Michelle

When I was a little kid, I used to love to play make believe, and play in the creek behind my house. I’m sure that I wasn’t the only kid in the world who liked to play make-believe or play in creeks, but being as how I was an only child who lived out in…

Wandering around Holyhead and Anglesey

Posted on May 16, 2010December 30, 2020 by Michelle

Ahhhh, Holyhead… One of those places where you truly feel like you are at the edge of the world. Holyhead, located on the Island of Anglesey and Irish Sea, is the jumping off point for Ireland and for nearly 4000 years people have been making the journey from the Welsh outpost to Ireland and vice-versa. …

Scaling the highest peak in Wales

Posted on May 2, 2010December 9, 2020 by Michelle

Taking on Wales’ tallest peak My first weekend away landed me in the charming village of Betws-y-coed, North Wales, a village of about 500.  Bewts-y-Coed is located in the heart of Snowdonia. Wales may not be home to the tallest mountain peak, but it still has some challenging hiking. It has charming waterfalls. But really…

A Happy Little Accident

Posted on April 11, 2010December 9, 2020 by Michelle

Until I get going, I will reflect back on some of my past travels and travel mishaps before I started this blog.  This first post recounts my first visit overseas, my first alcoholic drink, and my first attempt at understand a ‘foreign’ language… Yes, I’m calling English a foreign language because in the beginning I…

My favorite mistake*

Posted on March 3, 2010November 11, 2020 by Michelle

*My favorite mistake, a song by Sheryl Crowe–one of my all-time favorite songs* A few weeks ago, I drove down to Wilmington to check out the city to see if it is somewhere I might like to live one day, while trying to decide if I should visit a guy affectionately known as my favorite…

Hello? is anyone There?

Posted on February 24, 2010November 10, 2020 by Michelle

Hello, my name is Michelle.  Welcome to my blog. So I did a thing… well two things really, if you count one of them as this blog.  Well, three if you count having a birthday… which I did today.  The thing about birthdays, at least for me, are indications that I should re-evaluate my life…

Meet Michelle

What is this place?

Hi, I’m Michelle and this is my own little corner of the interwebs where I write, share photos, and interact with others in the blog-o-shpere. So in addition to that–Who am I? I am –in one way or another– the following: hiker + backpacker + swimmer + pediatric respiratory therapist + registered nurse + avid traveler + cat parent + gardener + photographer + medical science junkie + adventure-seeker + DIY enthusiast + voracious reader + history and science nerd + football fanatic + aging athlete + wannabe chef + trying not to succumb to the trappings of a 9-5 life. And beginning in 2018, a  Peace Corps Volunteer in Rwanda.

Everyday life doesn’t have to be routine. Anyone can do just about anything he or she wants to do– sometimes one has to find creative ways in doing it. Sometimes one has to tear down the barriers that might stopping them. Everyday is an opportunity to choose your own adventure. That is what I ultimately write about.

So I have this old chair cushion. Wherever I put i So I have this old chair cushion. Wherever I put it, Pete lays on it. It’s currently under the kitchen table out of the way of everything. This cat is the most civilized cat I’ve ever known. Once I left the toilet lid down, and this boy, comes to get me out of bed and leads me to the bathroom, sits by the toilet and meows loudly. I look and the lid is covering the bowl. I say I’m sorry Pete, lift the lid and he promptly hops in the toilet and pees. A lot. Who knows how long he’d been holding it. I love him so much. #petethecivilisedcat🐈

No Molly, Christmas was yesterday but the human is making an encore return to 3rd shift for the weekend and that’s why we slept all day. #mollycatthoughts
