On our first day of sightseeing, we visited Caesarea (by the Mediterranean Sea, not Caesarea Phillipi). This area was a total surprise to me! I mentioned before that I had never really thought much about Israel at all, and even with allllll that my kids and I learned about the Roman Empire during our years of homeschooling, I had never thought about Israel having Roman ruins. I’m telling you, this trip took a lot of things that I’ve learned over…
Our intro to Israeli food was amazing! Check out the breakfast and dinner buffets at Herod’s hotel in Herzliya, Israel.
This whole trip came about REALLY quickly. I had never wanted to go to “The Holy Land.” I figured I could worship Jesus from here, no problem. Here’s how God put all this in motion! I’ve been doing The Bible Recap this year. This Bible reading plan and podcast is written by Tara-Leigh Cobble, the founder and CEO of D-Group, a discipleship ministry. Tara-Leigh and her team went to Israel earlier this year for a month (with special permission from…
I’m sharing what I’m CURRENTLY up to following prompts given by Anne at In Residence. September’s prompts are: beginning, ending, loving, picking, and posting. Let’s do this!!! I am CURRENTLY… beginning: my Christmas shopping. I loving buying gifts for family and friends, and I love having it wrapped up (no pun intended!) by Thanksgiving so I can rest, enjoy the whole season, and focus on Advent. Between all that and the ongoing shipping delays we’re dealing with, autumn shopping seems…
Places I’ve gone this summer! Travel ideas for you as we head in autumn. All about my summer adventures.
It’s that time again! Anne over at In Residence has provided new prompts for a new month. Here are MY responses. eating: an amazing pork grilled cheese sandwich for dinner just now at Clyde’s Table and Tavern in Cleveland, Georgia! The best smoked pork barbecue I’ve had in a long time on buttery, toasted bread with both cheddar and pepper jack cheese. With really good coleslaw and delicious (vinegar base) barbecue sauce. Y’all! SO GOOD!!! feeling: peaceful…and hot! My husband…
It’s time to link up with Anne at In Residence for this month’s Currently prompts! Here are MY responses to the prompts. How would YOU reply?!? I am CURRENTLY… consuming: less food! I’ve been using the Noom program for a couple of months now. Its food log tool (especially the visuals) has been eye-opening and incredibly helpful. (Here’s my affiliate link if you want to scope the program out. I highly recommend it!) exploring: the Biltmore rooftop! We recently camped…
Autumn is finally here!!! Hooray! Here in Savannah we enjoyed a few days of cooler temps, but now temps and humidity are back to normal. Ah well! I’m linking up with Leslie again to share the list of things I’m hoping to do during the next few months. My Autumn Adventures! Camping. It’s no secret that Gene and I love to tent camp. We don’t camp during the summer because it’s just too hot, but come autumn we’re ready to…
Each month Anne at In Residence gives us five interesting prompts for bloggers (and anyone else!) to respond to. It’s fun to see each person’s takes on how those words are CURRENTLY applying to him/her. Since I didn’t post last month, I’m doing a two-fer today! I am CURRENTLY… feeling: itchy to travel somewhere! I KNOW I’m not alone in this one! We’re making tentative plans, so circle back later and see what/if/when anything happens! wearing: graphic tees. Apparently this…
What happened to Summer Adventures, you ask? Heat. Heat happened! It’s just too hot here in Coastal Georgia to do much. Also, since we made our big anniversary trip to England and Scotland in May/June, we stayed pretty close to home this summer. Oh, and I had foot surgery. (More on that in a minute.) Then autumn started, and all our attention was focused on our son’s wedding! HOORAY!!! It was lovely and beautiful and amazing! Two weeks after that…
