I knew where I wanted to go on a mini vacation. The idea of the Solstice Steps in Lakewood intrigues me. Imagine a place just to watch the sunsets over Lake Erie!

It’s also Perseid Meteor time which is a sacred tradition to us.

Hours checking out 332 places to rent. I could tell you stories.

Would you stay on an Alpaca Farm and only pay $30 a night? By the way facilities are a port-o-jon. Comfy means small. Hidden means no man’s land.

My heart went out to one who said no air conditioning but all the windows do open.One that was reasonable said vegetarian cooking only.

Chose a lovely house in Lakewood but couldn’t settle on dates. We had a funny email exchange though.

Staying at the Days Inn. No pool but one down the street. Eating is just a detail.

Family pitches in to care for our zoo. Hubby will miss them.

I’m buzzing with details. Hurry August.
