For the past several years, friends of ours have gone to Belize. Not only have their pictures intrigued us, but the fact that we seem to get a freak snow or ice storm every time they go made us say “yes!” when they asked if we’d like to go with them this year. They rented…
Cottages and Castles
Recently I helped David set up and tear down a rather extensive sound system for a live music event we did in Tulsa. As I was helping carry microphone stands and speakers to the trailer we haul equipment in, David said, “You always wanted to be a roadie, right?”. I replied, “No, I always wanted…
A Roundup of Travel Articles That Will Make You Want to Pack a Suitcase
If I ever win the lottery, plane tickets will likely be one of the first things I purchase. It may seem weird since I’m such a homebody (bordering on hermit, at times) yet I absolutely adore traveling. I love the discoveries when visiting a new place and reliving memories when returning. The benefits of travel…
LWD Book Club ~ July 2017
I am really excited about this month’s LWD Book Club because our theme for the month is travel. We are going to have both a Francophile Week and an Anglophile Week, plus some general travel-related posts.

A Few Pictures From Our Trip to New Orleans
I’m having a hard time getting back into a routine and catching up after our trip. We are unpacked and the laundry has been done but there’s still so much more to do. Traveling is great but re-entry sucks. So, because I should be vacuuming up two week’s worth of dog hair I made you…
16 Free Or Low Cost Things To Do in New Orleans
Travel can be expensive but sometimes the most enjoyable activities are free or nearly so. We have been going to New Orleans ever since our honeymoon in 1981 and I can honestly say that our favorite things to do there are free or low cost. Well, except eating. 😉 Dee’s Favorite Free or Low Cost…
Pining For Paris
I do believe our trip to Paris in 2014 has spoiled me for life. As the old song goes, “How Ya Gonna Keep ’em Down on the Farm (After They’ve Seen Paree?)”. Don’t get me wrong – I do love my life here on “Apple Tree Farm” in rural Oklahoma. But once in awhile I find…
