I have been getting her calendars and cards for several years and sharing them as well! As far as I’m concerned her digital goods are the…

The Angels Are Among Us
Every week I look at my STATS from WordPress. It just makes everything more interesting and I like to know who is reading what……The past several weeks there has been a big uptick/interest in a post, that I wrote in 2017, named The Power Angels, and frankly, when I saw the stats I couldn’t even…
A Book, The Revolution of Marina M
If you have been following my blog, you know I have been posting on the Baltic countries. We’ve traveled from Sweden to Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and next on the horizon is Lithuania. It has been an eye opening adventure and following along historically, one of those “I had no idea!” times, on the way…

We’ve just come back from Atlanta, where we had a great time at the Oakland Cemetery! Yes, that’s right, a good time in a cemetery!

The Atlanta Connoisseur’s Garden Tour: The Ryan Gainey Garden

Where Did the Year Go?
I like looking back over the year to see what all I have done and what I have accomplished. This year I did a lot! The older you get the more you want to enjoy every minute! So what did the blogs do this year? Blogs you ask? I officially have two blogs; the one…
Bormes les Mimosas, France
If I was asked what I liked the most about Bormes les Mimosas, I would answer the light, the color and the flowers! All the old houses are covered with pink tiles, the streets are lined with flowers and the Mediterranean medieval village, with its castle ruins and ramparts, offers a panoramic view of the…

Thursday Doors: Have You Ever Wondered What the DMZ Was Like?
Today I am taking LIBERTY with Norm’s Thursday Doors to show what I thought I would never see. This is a very large door, but it has been closed for a very long time. We are getting a chance to open that door between South Korea and North Korea, which might be one of the…
Thursday Doors: Columbus, Georgia
Today we are going South to Columbus, Georgia, located on the Chattahoochee River with Phenix City, Alabama looking back across the river at us! Columbus is such a great city because I enjoyed their Walking Trails……..The Original City Trail, The Church Square/High Uptown Trail, The Riverwalk and the Liberty Heritage Historic District. Columbus was an…
Sagrada Família, Barcelona, Spain
I can’t say enough about our cruise and our last days spent in Barcelona. One of the best decisions we made (prior to leaving home) was setting up an eight hour private tour with Barcelona Day Tours and a driver, who knew Barcelona. When the ship docked, Christian, our driver, was there to pick us…
WeekendCaféShare: Hearts, Tarts, Queens and Guillotines
Come in, come in. This morning I am serving coffee with a heart motif and strawberry tarts. It is strange how my mind works…..let me tell you how I got to the hearts and tarts…….. This week I wrote a post about Mardi Gras (let the good times roll)…….how the celebration was started in Europe and…
Mardi Gras, ‘Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler’
Today is Mardi Gras, Let the Good Times Roll! But, what is this big party and how did it all begin? Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday”, reflecting the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season. This ritual of feasting began in Venice and Rome and…

Welcome! Come in! Won’t you have a cuppa with me this morning? It’s quite gloomy and overcast out and a perfect day to share my latest adventure with you! This week I finished my jog of 97.7 miles on the Extraterrestrial Highway in Nevada. That would be the route along SR 375 in Nevada from…
Jo’s Monday Walk: A Visit to Sissinghurst
A summer in the UK would not be complete for me without a visit to Sissinghurst Garden, one of my favorites! This is the garden that Vita Sackville-West and her husband, Harold, made home. Vita was also a friend of Virginia Wolfe, Vanessa Bell and the Bloomsbury Group, which I have written about in previous…
