Beloved Weekend Getaway

Daily writing prompt
Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

Back in the States, I had quite a few favorite places. One of them always was the ‘Algoma Beach Motel’ in Wisconsin. One weekend out of the year, usually the beginning of September, I drove up there to escape from everyday life. This two day ‘mental check-out’ was never long enough for me to miss my apartment and routines, but still sufficient to recharge the batteries. It became a regular getaway I ended up looking forward to all year. The lovely motel right on the beach is also special, because each one of my puppy girls spend the weekend there with me at least once, and I got the same room, too. Lots of fond memories, always 💗🐾🥰

Since June 12th, my days are filled with such joy again, thanks to Lilly.
My heart is overflowing with love, and I am grateful beyond
measure for this little whirlwind in my life.

Rather Curious

Upon occasion I just feel drawn to something, without knowing why. This tree, though not particularly beautiful or special, just had this effect on me. Well, the mind works in mysterious ways, I guess. Happy Sunday!!
