HOMES, for those of you not familiar with the acronym, stands for the names of the Great Lakes

I have a lot of history there, starting with being born near and starting school in Chicago. This is a chance to visit relatives and friends and see the sights

I'll be stopping at and spending time at each of the Lakes. Pictures will inevitably follow

I think I might revise the acronym, though, to a 21st century version. How does MS HOE sound?

not necessarily a reflection on Microsoft. It's the order in which I'll be visiting the lakes

Going paddling in each?
Filling a bottle of water at each?
Would make an interesting shelf/shadow box display.

Squeak =^..^= : That's what I was thinking. Shells and sand mostly, but water would be cool, too.

A great trip, Gingo! So much to see along that route! Swing by Toronto and I’ll give you the highlights tour! Hamilton has been enjoying a nice resurgence over the last 5-10 years. Don’t miss the Niagara wine region or NOTL...ack! So much to see and so little time. Have a great trip!

how fun! please send us pics when you can/feel like it! Is Mrs G coming too or are you travelling solo?

I'll be taking pictures, and traveling solo. Mrs. Gingo! doesn't approve of 'couch-surfing' (her euphemism for staying with friends or relatives) and is going to stay home and tend the plants and animal
Gingo!
@GingoGumbo
Thu, Apr 27, 2023 4:14 PM
She's going to a women's conference in Albuquerque later in the summer and I'll do the tending

(thinking) Tending the plants and then the animal?

Alanna : I will! I want to visit Graceland Cemetery now, after a book I was reading touted it. Oh, you might be interested in this one too, if you like true crime, historical fiction, and tons of irony

I only lived 2 miles from it as a kid, but I was right next to Rosehill, so that was where we always went for 'nature'

Yeah, I did a lot of walks through Rosehill during the pandemonium lockdown times.
