Happy New Year, 2022

Wishing everyone a great New Year! I'm still blogging at:


Here is what our past year looked like. We remained in lock-down during the pandemic until we were double-vaccinated in mid-March. Then we were able to begin traveling again, as I recorded at maefood.blogspot.com.  A brief look at our travels:

March, 2021: Virginia.

Our first trip after Covid vaccination: visiting Virginia. We spent one
day in Charlottesville with Miriam, seeing the beautiful UVa campus.
The rest of the trip was spent in Fairfax with Alice, Tom, and Evelyn.

April, 2021: Indiana

A mural in Lafayette, Indiana, where we visited my sister.

May, 2021: Arizona

On a birding tour of southern Arizona, we enjoyed the beautiful Chiracaua Mountains near the town of Portal.

June, 2021: Virginia

In June we returned to Virginia for Alice's high school graduation.

July, 2021: Iceland

At the end of July, we flew to Iceland for a voyage on the National Geographic Explorer.

August, 2021: Maine

In Bar Harbor, Maine, we enjoyed sightseeing with Miriam, Evelyn, Alice, and Tom. We went on several
walks, looking at lots of things including this mushroom.

September, 2021: Michigan

The farthest we traveled in September was Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge a couple hours from home.

October, 2021: Oregon, Washington, Idaho

We traveled on the National Geographic Quest, beginning at the Pacific Ocean near Astoria, Oregon.
We went along the Columbian River between Oregon and Washington, through a number of locks and dams.
Finally, we traveled in Idaho to the Nez Perce Indian Reservation and flew home from Spokane. 

November, 2021: Washington, D.C.

Our Thanksgiving trip to Fairfax included our only visit to Washington, D.C. of the year.
We enjoyed visiting the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture garden.

December, 2021

We didn't leave home but here's my new spirit doll.
