My family took a vacation every year while I was growing up and we always drove. I’ve never been much of a fan of the usual breakfast foods so if we stopped for breakfast at a diner or someplace like Denny’s, I usually ordered a cheeseburger and chocolate milkshake. Apparently my mother had done the…
The city of my soul..
I’m really missing New Orleans, especially since my NOLA friends have started posting pictures of the parades which have started for Carnival season. One of these days we will be there for Mardi Gras but for now, I am just counting the days until our April trip.
French Quarter Friday…
I will eventually be returning to my usual “French Friday” posts but since I still have pictures to share from New Orleans I thought I’d make this “French Quarter Friday”. The St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson square is probably the most photographed and easily recognized landmark in New Orleans. Isn’t it pretty? One of our…
New Orleans adventures
I know, I know. I promised stories and pictures of our recent trip to New Orleans. And I do intend to follow through but life has been nuts. Two days after returning from NOLA we zipped off to California for five days. David had to go on business and took me along. And if that…

Wonderful Weekend…
This weekend couldn’t have been better unless it had been longer. David took off work early on Friday afternoon and as soon as we managed to get animals taken care of and our bags packed, we headed up to Oklahoma City for the weekend I’ve been looking forward to for about two months. David had…
Frankly, my dear…
I read “Gone With the Wind” for the first time when I was in 7th grade. I was immediately captivated by the story and the antebellum setting. I may have been born and raised in California but I’m convinced I lived a previous life in the “old South”. (Don’t take that comment seriously; I don’t…
