Well, I have started a new chapter of my life. My son has gone away to college and now I am left to realize that I really don’t know where I want my life to go. I have been traveling to see him at college and forgot how much I love to travel and see new places. I think I will start to try and travel as much as my health will allow. I want to write about the places that I have been here so that anyone that is interested can look into them.

I have also been trying to learn recipes that meet all of my food allergies (corn, soy, all nuts and gluten free). This is a major challenge. Foods that are gluten free usually have corn or soy in them, or they use almond flour, so I am learning that in order to avoid all these things I am having to make a lot of things from scratch. So I started a page on her for recipes so I will start to post recipes that I found and like.

I also am going to post about places that I have been or want to go. I am going to use this as a way to track my goals. I have been to every state on the East coast, but never spent 1 night in Delaware or New Hampshire. So those are my first travel goals. I would like to eventually go to all 50 states. There are countries that I want to go too also, but I want to get the East Coast done first before I branch out further. I have been to a total of 22 states, but 2 of those I have only been to, but not stayed the night in.

So here goes to a new chapter in my life! I am nervous and excited all at the same time.
