Headlands Beach, Lake Erie

~A view of the lighthouse with a big ship coming into the harbor taken from the shores of Headland Beach! I love this picture!! Denny and I had such a good time that day swimming, exploring and finding washed up "beach glass" in the pebbled shoreline! We walked almost clear out to the lighthouse to watch a group of teenagers jumping off the rocks into the water which was at least a 20-foot drop! Both of us laughed because we knew that had we been about 15-20 years younger, we would be out there like idiots doing the same thing!! {Haha!} BUT...Age and gravity have long since made us think twice before taking such risks, thankfully.~

~Looking at this picture on this cold, windy day in the "great city of Marie-ghetto", I cannot help but wish to be somewhere else.

~It seems almost everyone I know IS or HAS taken a wonderous adventure to some far off place, but I can never seem to get too far away from this damn town. Somedays I fear that "my time" is running out and I will never get to visit those places that I long to see...just once in my lifetime...Or that IF, by chance, I do get to visit them, I will be too old and tired to really enjoy them the way I would now or 5-10 years ago.{arg.}

~Most of the time I am quite content to take a trek through the woods, play around in Duck Creek or go feed the ducks at Buckeye Park but very often I find myself daydreaming about cruises to the Bahama's, Greek Isles, or Cancun. I would also love to visit The Keys, Belize, the Hondora's, Ireland, Jamaica, Africa, India and a deserted tropical island somewhere...anywhere except the middle of the Ohio River! {Hehe!}

~I guess, for now, "virtual tours" will just have to do, but someday...somehow, I WILL visit these places that seem to intrigue me so much and if I am lucky, I will not be too old!
