Friday. Edition 13. Friday seems to come around faster than I can blink my eyes! Between editing some photos, running errands, spring purging of household stuff, and life in general... I somehow ended up at Friday (and with my house showing the chaos of my not tending to it!). Recipes. One of my frantic [...]

Tips for Visiting the Palace of Versailles
Versailles. I still have a lot to share about the Amsterdam portion of our trip to Europe, but for today I'm jumping over to Paris. My daughter has been learning about World War I and was asked to bring in photos from her visit to Versailles, which means that I am editing those photos first. [...]
Friday Faves – “Words” Edition
Friday. Power of Words. I can't believe we are already almost through the month of March. It's only 3 more Fridays before I leave for Europe. I'm beginning to get serious about my to-do list. It's much longer than the one above, but those are some of the things I need to start working on. [...]
Atop the World
How's the view from atop the world? How's the view when everything is going your way? A smile on your face? A kind word on your lips? A light shining for all to see? How's the view when you're all alone? How's the view when life is caving in? Do you still radiate the light [...]
Friday Faves – “Outdoor” Edition
Friday. Outdoor Edition. I can't believe it's already Friday!! This week has been packed. Last Saturday, the middle child took the test to obtain his driving learner's permit. And he passed! Phew! Sunday was unseasonably (and highly welcomed) warm. The hubby and I took a stroll on the Roanoke River Greenway, where I came upon this [...]
Hiking in Virginia? Here’s How to Hike Dragon’s Tooth
Hiking in Virginia. Hiking, anyone? How about some hiking in Virginia? You might remember from my Friday Faves post that I mentioned that since moving to Virginia I like to go hiking. Usually, I just go on short hikes. And I'm gonna be honest about why... I don't want to have to pee in the woods. [...]
Visting the Historical Area of Explore Park in Roanoke Virginia
Explore Park. Roanoke, Virginia. This past Sunday, my husband and I visited Explore Park, located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 115. The day was gray and overcast, with rain coming in the afternoon. I didn't expect to get too many shots as the light was not in my favor. I opted not [...]
Ambience & Hygge
Hygge. What does that word even mean?! Ok.  Most of you probably already know since it was shortlisted by Oxford Dictionary to be a Word of the Year for 2016. I, however, live in the dark ages and stumbled across this word last Sunday. We were driving to my mother-in-law's and I was scrolling through Instagram [...]
WPC -Resilient
Resilient. The photo challenge this week is "Resilient". Pondering those places, people, or things that endure. Reflections proper for the end of the year. Or in my case, the beginning. I love when people that have been through hell walk out of the flames carrying buckets of water for those still consumed by the [...]
