My many adventures

I survived breast cancer, to travel around the world to some of the many places I've always wanted to go. There are lots more places I still want to visit.

I've been to Scotland, England, Vancouver, Victoria BC, an Alaskan cruise, Yukon, Alaska (Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway), a fab Mediterranean cruise which took us to Barcelona, the Vatican & Rome, the island of Crete, Izmir & Sulcuk, Ephesus Turkey, Egypt and Malta. I have been to Las Vegas, Hollywood LA, Cabo San Lucas, Orlando, Daytona Beach, Tampa, a Disney Cruise to Bahamas and Disney's Castaway Cay island, all over Canada and Hawaii and Pearl Harbour. We can add Cozumel, Costa Maya, Mexico, Belize City and Honduras. What a fabulous way to see the world!
Take the time to do the things you want to do because life is too short and if you wait until you can afford it, you'll likely never go. So get your plans ready and pick a place and start booking your trip. It is so worth it.

Thanks for dropping by. I have lots of posts to put up so stay tuned...

BLOG POST June 2019

Hi Folks! During a convention in Toronto in 2017, my grandson and I visited Niagara Falls, CN Tower and went to Medieval Knights dinner theatre. We had such a fabulous time! I will be posting pictures of that wonderful trip.

I still have a great deal of travel posts to put up. I want our vacations and travel to be shared with you all. I'm not sure of what our travel plans will be for 2017, but for 2016, I rested all the time. Retirement is so awesome!! I was able to take pictures of the summer's Totally Eclipse of the Moom, which I'll share with you here on a post. It was incredible for sure.
I just love summer! I hope the winter will be gentle to us.

Still trying to find my ancesters with the Foran/Forhan name. Apparently two brothers came over from Dublin, one was name Edward who had a son named Edward born in Prince Edward Island and he had a son named William who had my father. I love doing ancestry but it is very frustrating when you can get no further without the "parents" names.

I have so many posts to write about so please keep patience with me. I received a great posting from SiteHoundSniffs.com which looks to be a great animal site. Hope you enjoy it.

My granddaughter Layla made it to Master Chef Canada in 2018 but was cut. She's still a great cook.

My little guy Rialey is now 16 and is 6'2 ". He is so thoughtful of me and helps me a lot.

I had hoped to travel last year or in 2019, but health issues stopped that thought. Now I face another health issue, heart failure. Last May 2018 I was admitted to hospital and went into cardiac arrest. Thankfully they brought me back. With all the great health care, I am in recovery. When you don't have yur health, you have nothing. I think I have about 8 specialist doctors and my MD and I pay nothing, thank goodness!

Take care my blogger friends.

Thanks friends,

Debbie

Pictures of Newfoundland July 2010

Hey folk, I thought the pictures of this beautiful province needed to be blogged by itself.  Some pictures were taken from my room at the Sheridan Hotel and the rest were taken by my granddaughter when she went on a lighthouse tour and picnic about an hour outside of St. John's.

Enjoy!!







The pictures are of St. John's harbour.  The moon was full this night and I was able to capture it.  It was a magical night in July 2010. The serene brought me to think of the small castle on Signal Hill that the first transatlantic message was sent from.  You can see it on tip of the mountain.  Below to the left of Signal Hill is the Battery Hotel.  It is a historic hotel but has many upgrades.

St. John's is such a beautiful place with old, large mansions, jelly bean houses and quaint small streets.  The famous George Street host a street concert in the Summer.  This year, Great Big Sea entertained the people while the bar hopping was happening.  This is an excellent time to visit.

The next group of pictures were taken by Layla while on their tour of the historic lighthouse.  Enjoy.




The above picture is the jelly bean houses on the side of Signal Hill.  But as you ride around St. John's, you will see lots of different jelly bean houses.  They call them this due to their colourful jelly bean colours.

I have more pictures on the lighthouse and other scenes which I will put at another time.
Enjoy!!
