Dear Life, After seven weeks of traveling and being with family and friends in the East, today, I begin the journey West. My bags are packed with memorable moments and treasures. I am full with the joy of living and lobster rolls. My DNA loves the ocean. My body is sun-kissed. White Angel is serviced. My Spirit is my Treasure Trip guide. Thank you to everyone for being with me.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, Today is my beautiful, sister Arlene’s Birthday. I am grateful to be in CT to celebrate with her and family. We grew up with a mother who baked a special cake, had a party, and sang Happy Birthday, every verse. Arlene’s daughters and the husbands help out: Kelsey, now bakes the cake, Kira brings a delicious dish, Steve shops for the Lobster Rolls and grills the Steak. We all party up! Six grandchildren keep “Mimi” young at heart and in love with life! Happy Birthday Arlene!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, My Treasure Trip has taken me on a boat trip with Tracy around the Thimble Islands, Stony Point, Ct to Manhattan, NY for a family “girls day”. We saw the great musical, “Hell’s Kitchen”, by Alicia Keys at the Shubert Theatre. The cast, musicians, and surround-sound of her music were spectacular. Pure joy to do these things. Being here now.

The film made for Nexus Healthcare by Cameron Kit of YOYOS, NYC and team won the Platinum Award for “Best New Mexico Short”. It will be featured at the Albuquerque Film Festival.
It’s an honor to be involved in this project and give hope to the Cancer community. Congratulations to the team!
Dear Life, The Lake House in Maine is my happy place. There is peace and beauty, wildlife that doesn’t require loud music and disco balls. I am dating myself! This year was special because my daughter, Tracy, joined me. She loved my friends. We played, walked, talked, ate, repeat. I am one big smile. Yes that is my White Angel in the driveway, but no, I did not steal the Scamper! Until next time… thank you for the treasured memories.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, Tracy and I found my new Beloved in Maine where they serve lobster and soft-swirl ice cream cones. I am over the moon in love. Don’t quit before the miracle!

Dear Life, The Treasure Trip continues. Tracy and I drove north along the Maine coast on Route 1. “Mom, turn the car around. I want to to see Jelly Belly!” A hard brake and pin-turn for our first photo shoot at Wilbur’s Chocolate Factory. We left with Chocolate Blueberries and smiles. Picnic lunch near a marsh, quaint small towns. Made our way through the Orland blueberry barrens to the lake house where Alix and Gary greeted us with open arms. Dinner on the screened-in porch then a few steps to the dock to watch the loons and moonrise. Evening ended playing Rummy 500. I moaned and laughed through a colossal loss. No more groaning. I am a champion of life!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, The day was filled with beautiful people and places. Walking the Promenade, we met Richard Wilson, a well-known artist and treasure. Delicious baked goods and coffee at The Standard, lovely shops, an art store where, of course, I left with a big brush. Tacos and a siesta, a picnic for dinner at Fort Williams while Marimba music sang out over the ocean. “Golden light” moment at Bug Light, celebrating its 150th Birthday, capped a perfect day.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, The Treasure Trip continues with Tracy, my daughter, riding shotgun. We are rolling to Maine to visit friends. Feeling the love!
