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…
Today I want to share some of my favorite meals from our trip to England and Scotland. Poor England has a bad reputation for food, but we really do like most of it. We’re all about pub grub! Speaking of pub grub, fish and chips is always a good go-to. Jacket potatoes (baked potatoes) are also a reliable choice. Let’s go ahead and address the haggis issue! I decided that I really couldn’t spend a week in Scotland and not…
Welcome to one of the most beautiful little gardens in London! The remains of St. Dunstan-in-the-East are tucked away not too far from The Tower of London, and they’re well worth the walk. St. Dunstan-in-the-East was built around 1100 (1100, you guys!) and went through several changes over the years. The Great Fire of London in 1666 caused great damage to the church, but it was patched up. A few years later Sir Christoper Wren designed a new tower and…

One of the most exciting things on my Springtime Adventure List was a trip to England and Scotland! Now that we’re back home and have nearly conquered the jet lag, I’m excited to start sharing parts of our trip with you guys. First: The Bookish Things! *insert happy squeal of joy here!* London is one of my favorite places on earth! I really do love this city. In all of our visits there when we lived in England, I…

Daily’s Place is a fairly new venue. It’s a…
Each month I link up with Anne’s Currently challenge. She provides five prompts, and participants share what they’re currently doing relative to those prompts. I enjoy writing these, and I hope you enjoy reading them! It’s fun to see how everyone interprets the prompts and replies to them. This month’s prompts are experiencing, appreciating, wish listing, posting, and considering. I am CURRENTLY… experiencing spring in Georgia, both the good and the bad of it! There’s nothing like all the shades…
