I went to Florence

I accomplished one goal this summer, and that was to go to Florence, WI. I decided to do some library trips, as I've never been to those "up north" libraries in our system. It was the perfect reason to go - get away and get some work done at the same time.

This little trip really meant something special to me. Last summer, I wanted to take a trip with my ex-bf to Florence, and I proposed staying at the Lakeside B & B. I didn't care when we went, it was on Fisher Lake (which meant he could canoe, fish, hike, etc.) and I offered to pitch in for the cost. For whatever reason, we never went.

Well, darn it. I still wanted to go to Florence and to the B & B, so I did. IT WAS FANTASTIC! The room was beautiful, the host was kind, the breakfast was great, the view of the lake was spectacular and the town was charming. The last time I was in Florence was about 10 years ago, and I only drove through it. A lot has changed in 10 years. After dinner on Thursday night, I even went canoeing around the lake by myself. The sun was just starting to set, and it was so peaceful. At night I could hear the loons on the lake. On Friday morning I took a walk. It was wonderful.

I was so glad and honestly, proud, of myself for doing this...without a man!! I definitely plan on going back someday, and maybe next time I will have someone to go with who is really special.
