  Street Art in Miami, Florida Street Art in Miami, Florida Foodie Tour with My Sisters Linda and Annette in Miami, Florida Street Art Museum in Miami, Florida Having Dinner with My Sisters Annette and Linda in Miami, Florida #139 Saturday. 17. Today is my 139th Saturday since beginning this Nomad Diary. Wow! I am writing my memory of this day on June 26th. I’ve varied my format in this post.

Screenshot of Phone Call with Jeremy and Quinn (2+years old) Nesting Turtle in Our Yard in Denton, Texas Denton, Texas Sunset from Our Airbnb on a Mini-Ranch Saturday. 10.   Up early. Saw a nesting turtle out the kitchen window. The soil is sandy and the turtle is about 10 inches across the shell. She’s there for a long while and eventually covers her eggs and moves on.

There are a few horses and cows. Around the two ponds we have also seen white and gray birds that are about 5 feet tall with beautiful feathers and curving necks.  Today Jeremy (our 3rd son who lives in Portland, Maine) called with his 2 ½ year old son Quinn and his wife Andrea. We talk and catch up on what is happening with them. Quinn has started going to a day care while Andrea is working. On Fridays Quinn doesn’t go to...
