As this post is being published, I’m probably cruising at about 65 to 70mph, and almost back from vacation. If you read my personal “About Me” page, it mentions that we have a home in northern Michigan. I‘ve been able to spend the last couple weeks there. Since this website began this spring. I hadn’t had a chance to try this until now, so I was curious to see how posting from a remote location worked. All of the posts the last couple weeks have been uploaded courtesy of a WI-FI connection in a wonderful coffee shop I found in town and using my notebook computer. I had to use the coffee shop’s WI-FI because there is no phone or Internet service at the lake house…cell phones don’t work out that far…and no television either! So it forces you to relax and take a break from the real world. Well, almost…this post being one of the few exceptions. The blog site must continue on…right? Posts can be written and saved whenever I’m in the mood, and then scheduled to be published in advance…which is how this post is being done today.
I take vacations VERY infrequently…not enough actually. But when I do, there are some trusted Realtor friends/colleagues that watch my real estate business for me and do whatever needs to be done. That’s great because I can relax and know that my clients are being taken care of. I do the same for them whenever they ask.
I took this photo of some daisies in Indianapolis a few weeks ago, but found it interesting that there are zillions of their daisy relatives living up in Michigan too. They look just like these. There are thousands of wild daisies growing around the lake house and I’ve had a handful of them in a small vase for the dining room table for a few days now. For some reason I’ve been really paying attention to wild flowers lately. It’s interesting to me that there are hundreds of varieties of wild flowers. They come and go when they please…like gypsies and free spirits. I admire their unattached quality and spirit. The closest I come to that is when I’m on vacation at the lake house. Still…it’s good to be home again.
