Originally, I thought I'd say yoga. Yoga.I shared a little about how yoga has been transformative in my life in this post. My practice [...]

Murals of Glasgow
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 [...]
The Millennium Clock
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 [...]
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
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 [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 18
Friday. Edition 18. It's hard for me to believe that I've already been home for a week! The girlie went to her first sleep-away camp last Sunday... 3 nights! So there was the hustle and bustle of preparing for that. Which included rounding up some summertime clothes. You'd think she was a growing teenager [...]
Doors of Edinburgh Scotland

Stirling Castle
Stirling Castle. The day after we arrived in Scotland we took the train to Stirling Castle. The people working the ticket counters are amazingly helpful. We ended up getting a groupsaver ticket because there were three of us. With all the train travel that we did, this savings was a welcome surprise. Besides staring at [...]
National Monument of Scotland
Edinburgh. I am still sorting through photos from my trip to Scotland, but I'm so excited to share some of the sights that I thought I'd just start at the beginning. We landed in Edinburgh around 10:00 in the morning. After getting my newest passport stamp, I collected my luggage. Getting to the City [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 17
Friday. Edition 17. I've finally arrived home! And it's Friday! Journey Home. Actually, I arrived home at 11:30 last night. That was after beginning my journey home from Scotland on Wednesday, the 7th, with a flight out of Edinburgh at 12:30 p.m. local time. Then arriving in Iceland for a 5-hour layover. Leaving there and [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 16
Friday. Edition 16. It's Friday! And I'm up and typing earlier than normal. Why? Because around lunchtime today I'll be heading toward the outskirts of D.C. for the girlie's soccer tournament. It's looking to be a weekend of soccer and rain, so I'll be packing up my umbrella, raincoat, and rain boots! On top of [...]
