Me and my mommy. (March 12, 2016)

With full bellies Alice, Tammy and I walked a little ways from the restaurant to this sumptuous royal residence, Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerod, Denmark. After a serious 1859 fire, the castle building and apartments were fully restored by 1882 when it was reopened to the public as the Danish Museum of National History. May 16, 2017

Childhood friends who came to surprise me for my 60th, celebrated with me on my actual birthday. Jeanette to the left and Darlene to the right. (March 15, 2016)

Thank you Sydney, Mom, Marion and Sheila and everyone who contributed to my wonderful birthday surprise. And, thank you Jason Surbey for the gorgeous flowers. Turning 60 and retiring after 28 years at the U.S. Department of Labor feels good. Bring on the travels! (March 15, 2016)
