March 20th was the first “official” day of spring, but I’m not even sure winter came? No matter, the calendar declares the days of warm air and sunshine is upon us! So I’m going with the flow and looking toward summer, actually a bit into fall and winter too. These are the months to get outside, enjoy the beauty of Wisconsin and absorb some free vitamin D.
Read MoreAs fall flows into the Christmas season and another glistening Wisconsin winter looms, I reflect with much gratefulness. I am blessed with a wonderful husband and four healthy, intelligent and almost, self-sufficient children. I am also blessed with a rather large group of friends and travel companions who share my bit of wanderlust. Husbands & wives, sisters, mothers & daughters, and friends who enjoy getting away, even for just a day. Familiar faces that have travelled with me for years or just a friend of a friend who has recently heard about me - you join me. I recognize that you are the reason I am fortunate enough to enjoy theater productions and explore our beautiful state of Wisconsin and surrounding areas.

Open windows, cooler nights, changing colors, jeans, sweatshirts, apple cider - I love it all! I hope your summer has been as enjoyable as mine. All four of my children were home in June and July, and one by one August sends them back to where they need to be.
Read MoreI definitely was born in the perfect state - Wisconsin - because I love all four seasons. Yes, that includes winter. Beauty undenied is the crystal clear blue sky after a fresh snowfall, or the sun glistening off the tree limbs as it melts. With that said, I’m no fool so I’ll keep my travels closer to home during the winter months. But closer to home does not mean we sacrifice quality or variety. I anticipate you will find something that will motivate you to get out and join me. Just wear a sweater.
Read MoreI begin by extending warm greetings for 2023, and hope the Blue Bird of Happiness has landed on your doorstep singing - Spring is Here! Spring is here! Get out and enjoy it! My husband has already seen his first Robin, surely this heralds spring is at hand.

Since I’ve returned to business/traveling after what I call the “COVID break”, the response to our jaunts has been overwhelming. Thank you for joining me. Thank you for sharing my name.

Read MoreHAPPY NEW YEAR & WELCOME TO THE ROARING 20’S … 2020! We ended 2019 with a lot of laughter and that is how we will bring 2020 in.

Ready or not Fall is here. My favorite season filled with jeans, sweatshirts, crisp mornings and beautiful colors. My home life returns to a more rhythmic pace and my cooking shifts to a more hearty nature - soups, bread and baking! Cooler temperatures also signal the winter holidays are looming.
Those who know me well, know that the 4th of July is my favorite holiday, but Thanksgiving is close second. Time spent with the three “F”s … Family, Friends and Food!

Jaunts” as defined by Mr. Webster … “a short journey or excursion for pleasure”. Some who “jaunt” with me only join the walking trips. Others who “jaunt” with me only partake of the theater excursions. Of course there are those who enjoy a mixture of both. No matter what your preference, I am grateful you come, because without you I’d be sitting home completely bored!
Read MoreWelcome to Spring! I hope your winter months have been as enjoyable as mine. Over the last three months I have visited three new theaters and had a fantastic time doing it. Appreciation to those who were brave enough to check them out with me! But more importantly I celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary! I am blessed with four healthy and intelligent children as a result of my union with a wonderful husband who supported me when I came to him with a crazy idea called Join Polly’s Jaunts. Thank you Dave! I love you!!
