Walking the Mural Trail in Glasgow. Glasgow. The first time I traveled to Glasgow, it was to trace some of our ancestral roots. During that visit, I stumbled upon the murals found along the streets of Glasgow quite by accident. I shared about the murals that I chanced upon in this post. And it was [...]
Roanoke, Virginia. Most of you know by now that I've been living in Roanoke, Virginia for the past 4 1/2 years. While the raising of my teenagers keeps me quite busy (I often wear the hat of chauffeur), I do occasionally get to spend some time discovering the city. Now that two of my three [...]
Photowall. Photowall is a Swedish Company that sells wall murals and canvas prints. When Photowall contacted me with an offer of a mural or canvas in return for my review, I was flattered. Needless to say, before committing, I visited their website, Photowall.com, to read about the company. Environmentally Friendly. One of the first things that [...]
Taubman Museum of Art. One of my favorite local outings is to head downtown to the art museum. The Taubman Museum of Art is located in downtown Roanoke, Virginia, at 110 Salem Ave SE. There are numerous parking garages and lots (many of which are free during the daytime on weekends) and also on-street parking [...]

And I have journaled. I collected ideas and thoughts and felt grateful for this amazing thing called life. When I came to [...]
Friday Faves. They say that time waits for no one. I see the evidence of this every day. I wonder where my hours have gone and yet I know that they've been full. And then, I wonder how it came to be Friday already. Then I wonder how we have arrived on December 1st. The [...]
Glasgow. I've already shared that I absolutely loved Glasgow. But in case you missed it... I loved Glasgow. My time there was much too brief. If you are new to my blog, during my week in Scotland, two days were to be spent in Glasgow. However, they were mainly to be a home base for [...]
National Museum of Scotland. Time. "Time and tide waits for no man" Or as my husband is fond of saying: "Time waits for no one." The Millennium Clock. The museum label for The Millennium Clock states that it the clock was made in Glasgow in 1999. It is a collaborative effort of sculptor-mechanic Eduard Bersudsky, sculptor-furniture maker [...]
Glasgow, Scotland Oh, how I love thee. Original Travel Plans. When I traveled to Scotland with my mother and aunt at the end of May, we broke up the trip into 3 stays... 2 nights in Edinburgh (since that's where the plane was landing), 2 nights in Glasgow, and then 3 nights in Edinburgh (since [...]
