As many of you know, we have been traveling various places in the last few decades. We have written about our travels, as well as some of the museums we visited on our personal blogs. We have shared some of this in town at the senior center at Armchair travel talks. (Some of these are posted at Sharon’s blog)
As our business (now retired) was internet/web services, we took our interests in Art online with cataloging open source art work as well as a TV art wall for the DYI crowd.
This is a good time to share all this with you in one place. Much has been around for quite a while – now you have the time to explore.
And as a traveler once wrote:
“Once you have travelled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.” – Novelist Pat Conroy
Or as one of the TV travel host says:
Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer”
Happy Trails and Stay Healthy
