Myrtle Beach and Lights

Posted on November 8, 2013 by Marsha Brecht

This morning we went to see Myrtle Beach.  The tourists are gone, the hotels and vacation rentals are nearly empty, the amusement parks are closed and what shops that are still open were very quiet.  There are a few people … Continue reading →

North Carolina

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Marsha Brecht

It was a cold night, not enough to leave any frost in the morning, but enough to make us want to get further south. Gas prices are going down. We got our first glimpse of $2.99/gallon today while passing through … Continue reading →

Mt. Vernon

I really enjoy visiting DC and hope we come back again.  But for now, we have left the Greenbelt Park and moved south.  But not very far.  George Washington’s Mt. Vernon Estate, Museum & Gardens is just south of Washington … Continue reading →

Savannah Factor’s Walk

Posted on November 27, 2012 by Marsha Brecht

Archives and Art

Posted on November 16, 2012 by Marsha Brecht
