Up, Up and Away, One More Adventure, May 19, 2026

It was the rest day at the end of the road trip with my daughters. We had planned a trip to the beach, but Katey wanted to sleep in. Cheryl was worn out!

Ellen went to the beach by herself and found an opportunity for just one more adventure… parasailing. Ellen sent me these photos of her great adventure to share on my blog. I hope you enjoy them. I know I did!

A small boat carries a very excited Ellen out into the Gulf of Mexico.
Let’s go!
Up, up, and away!
This is so cool!
This is great!
A beautiful view!
We’re losing altitude!
We’re gonna splash down…
Wow! What an incredible experience!

A Confession

Thank you, Ellen & Katey!

Do I regret going on the trip?

No way! I wouldn’t have missed it!

For Ellen with Love

Life with empathy…

mindful, purposeful, content.

Moments of pure joy!

A spirit of adventure,

Not a single moment lost!
