I have been thinking about starting this blog for more than a year now. I thought it would be a fun and easy way to archive and share all the stories and adventures my sister and I have had over the past 25 or so years traveling together. We go on trips together every few months or so, whenever our schedules and pocketbooks will allow. We have been everywhere from Disney World to just a few hours away visiting Grandma. I thought the words would just spill forth and every traveler or traveler at heart would read it, be entertained and think to themselves "Hmmm....these two chics seem to be having so much fun and are so very interesting that I should go on a trip with my sister (or friend or whoever you so desire) too!!" Not only did I think our little blog would inspire other"girl travelers" but I thought in my naiveitvity that some large conglomerate travel organization like Mobile Travel Guide, Midwest Living Magazine, The Travel Channel etc., etc. would come knocking at our door and offer us the opportunity to travel ....on their dime of course....and all we would have to do is blog about our little adventures. HaHaHa!!!
After reading other blogs and learning a little, and I do mean a very little bit about blogging, I learned that that more than likely will not happen.....but hey, a girl can dream. For the record, let me just say it is a little intimidating typing that first line...but now that I have it is getting easier and easier with every word.
Tomorrow is one of the few days I have off. Yes! A whole day! My sister just happens to be out of town right now in Wisconsin on her own little travel with her significant other. It is a birthday trip with her boyfriend Harry. Happy Birthday Harry!! Soooooo I will have to make plans for my mini trip all by myself. I'm so excited and want to do so many things ....I need to focus. I was thinking about going to an Herb festival in Wabash, Indiana, about an hour and a half away. I have been there before. Actually as an exhibitor at the show selling my wreaths and herbs and other herby things. It is more along the lines of a craft show than a festival. There will be crafty handmade things, herb plants, soaps,and art. My kind of place. Or maybe I should go to all the thrift shops that I pass by everyday on my way to work and wish I had the time to stop. Maybe I should stay home and clean my filthy house. HA! Who am I kidding! I would never do that! My herb garden is so forlorn and forgotten, maybe I should try to find the paths again? No, that is just plain too overwhelming right now and sounds like too much work. I don't want to work on my only day off. ....I need to decide what I'm doing tomorrow on my day off! Hummmm.....There is always Shipshawana or maybe I should go up to Lake Michigan and enjoy one of the last official days of summer.... Where is my sister when I need her for some direction?
