In My Heart

September 14, 2017 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

When this posts I will be in England with my musician boyfriend. We didn’t go last year…it’s just so darned pricey, getting all the way over there from Hawaii. But his mom is sick. Cancer. So we are going.   She actually lives in Wales in a very small town where he grew up. But we are arranging a few days visiting various castles (castles…

A Wandering Widow

March 3, 2016 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I am traveling…yes, I’m off island once again. My poor little pink suitcase I bought the year after Mike died had to be taken out of service because the stitching actually ripped open this last trip, it’s been used so much. I can’t remember ever having a suitcase get worn out…and I can’t remember when in my life I’ve stayed in so many…

On the road again…

September 24, 2015 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I’m writing this from my parent’s home in Virginia…the house where I grew up, so many thousands of miles from where I now call home. In the past week I’ve also spent time in Austin for a business convention and New Orleans to visit my stepdaughter and her family. I am glad I could work in a visit to my folks while I’m on the…

Coming Home

September 3, 2015 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

I suppose no matter who you are, if you have a chance to escape, take a break, travel, take time off…that moment when you return to your regular life (assuming it was a good break of course) can be a bit of a letdown. For me, being widowed, my recent trip brought up so many additional feelings I think I will be sorting them out for a long time.

The Interview

August 27, 2015 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

As this posts I will be on my way back to my little grass shack in Hawaii from my adventure in the UK. I planned to have things posted so I needn’t worry about posting from who-knows-what wifi I will have while I am away. But I can only imagine what I will be thinking about when I return.I feel impelled forward into this strange, new life. I feel…

Across the Pond

August 13, 2015 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

As this posts I will be on my second full day in the UK with the musician.   I know it is really a splurge of a thing to do…but I’m not regretting spending the money or the time. If I’ve learned anything in these past 2 1/2 years since Mike died it’s that life is short, grab ahold of what you can, while you can…and also, how absolutely…
