Hey Folks!

I thought I would switch it up today and maybe in the future with more restaurants to visit. Just a thought!

Also talked about other ideas for the newsletter and asking for your help.

Hi Everyone!

Weather is changing so it’s time for roller coasters at your nearest fun park.

I’ve been a huge fan of roller coasters over the years, but as I got older and had some health issues, those health issues took over the rides on a rollercoaster.

So take a ride for me and let me know how this one rollercoaster is!

Thanks and Be Well!

Hi Friends!

Welcome to Monday. We have two great stories we thought you might want to hear about.

Although one is ICYM it, since it happened Sunday, the other is about the best beach in California according to California State Parks.

Both are worth checking out.

Have a great day, and a fantastic week!

Hi All!

I know it sounds ominous, but I just thought if I was going to give you great places to hike and hang out, the second story on rattlesnakes was important.

Hi All!

Yup, today it’s all about music festivals coming up soon.

As I said on the podcast, I love a great music festival, and while I haven’t been to the Strawberry Festival, I’ve been to a few Dead festivals back east.

I’ll let you check these articles out and make your own decision as to which one you’re going to check out.

My typing is bad, so please bear with me. I just about can se the keyboard.

I know I could use dictation, but I just don’t like the way it feels when read back to me, so podcasting it is.

I will understand if you decide to leave the newsletter, but give it and me a chance at this. I believe in the end you’ll enjoy it.

So here we go…

Sundown Cinema to Close

Hardest Hike-Palm Springs
