It has been a whirlwind this past 10 days, as we traveled up to Ohio to be a part of my brother-in-law's wedding. His bride is such a lovely woman, and we already adore her. She was absolutely radiant, in a gorgeous blue lace floor length gown. Honestly, I have never seen my husband's brother …

A Tablescapers Dream Store
While we were in Greensboro, I asked DH to take me to the Replacement China store just east of town. I've wanted to visit this store for years. They thoughtfully have provided a lounge area at the back with comfy chairs and a TV, so DH could read his Kindle while I enjoyed the displays. …
Tower Of London
Our trip in May to London had so much to do and share, I needed to break it up and spread it out. I am sure you would think I was turning into a travel blog, LOL, but I promise that isn't going to happen. As much as I like history and especially English history, …
Back from England
Back home again, and now you can know that my blogging break was spent in London, England! We've had this trip planned for months. I didn't take my laptop, because I decided just to take some time off from the computer altogether. We had a marvelous, exhausting trip, seeing more of London in the time …
Visiting Ponce Inlet Lighthouse
While we were visiting our friends in Florida, they wanted to show us some of the interesting sights in their new area. One of the historic places is the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in Florida at 164-1/2 feet above sea level. We had a lovely cool clear day, perfect for getting a bit …
Travel Pillow Case
One thing that I do not like about traveling is hotel pillows. For some reason most hotels have gone to all down pillows, which to me are very uncomfortable. They go flat in a hurry, and I need the support for my neck to last all night. So, I started asking for acrylic or polyester …
Scrap Dance Swing Bag
During my trip to Lexington, I took the Swing Bag to test it out in real use. I have to say, (brag a bit, LOL!!) that it performed beyond expectation. I expected it to hold some clothes and cosmetics, and be easy to carry, but I found that it did more than that. The pattern …

Wouldn't you love to have a great travel bag for the holidays, or any travel weekend? This weekender bag is compact yet packs a punch. You won't believe how much you can fit into it, and still have organization! It will hold enough clothes and toiletries for a weekend getaway, just Swing it over your …
Quick Trip to Chattanooga
Last week another opportunity came up to take a really fast trip with DH. He had a small job to do in Chattanooga, driving over one day and back the next. It was too good to pass up, so again I packed a bag and tagged along. We drove over in the morning, and there …
Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway
We love driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, and these pictures are from a drive we did last July. There are a number of neat tunnels on the parkway, fun to honk the horn as we go through with our car club. I haven't shown the tunnels before, so now is a good time to show …
