It’s time to take a look at my Autumn Adventure List and see how I did! You can see the original list HERE. Camping. DONE! As I mentioned in my original post, Gene and I camped for several days near Chattanooga, Tennessee in September. In October we headed up to Asheville, North Carolina, another of our favorite camping/hiking areas. We had a great time in spite of some rain and temps that were warmer than we had hoped. We hiked…
Hooray for Currently, my favorite link-up! Anne from In Residence gives us five prompts each month, and we see where they take us. This month our prompts are appreciating, anticipating, collecting, starting, and finishing. I am CURRENTLY… appreciating: any and every good thing, big or small! My heart is weary of anger and dissension, so I’m choosing to watch–with even more intention than usual–to find The Good! Today’s good things: Jamaican Me Crazy coffee in a special mug; gentle, rolling…
I totally missed last month’s Currently link up. I was going to do a UK Vacay Edition and might still backtrack and do it. For right now though, I’ll play along with this month’s prompts from Anne at In Residence. I am CURRENTLY… ordering: espresso powder. I’ve been wanting some for months now and finally ordered it. Now I just need to bake with it! Hmmmm. Any suggestions for a chocolate recipe that can be amped up with espresso powder?…
I’m linking up with Anne of In Residence again this month for Currently. This month’s prompts are scheming, reading, buying, making, and accomplishing. Here we go! I am CURRENTLY… scheming: okay, planning (because that word makes me happier!) a mystery trip for my parents! In the past they’ve taken mystery trips with Excursion Tours and really enjoyed them. Since I love to plan trips and they like to TAKE trips, I’m planning a mystery trip for them/us. I am SO…
This mid-winter time of year can be tough, y ‘all! The cold. The dark. The sickness. The dark. The post-holiday letdown. The dark. These things can drag us down. Today I want to focus on things that I’m loving right now! “The Good List” as Tsh Oxenreider calls it! Salt Fat Acid Heat, a documentary on Netflix. This stunningly beautiful show whisks me off to different parts of the world and explores the basics of good cooking. Since travel and…
You guys have heard me talk about how much I like the Get Your Pretty On Style Challenges. (Most recently HERE and HERE.) Today several of my bloggy friends and I are all styling one of the Summer Style Challenge outfits. The SAME outfit! It’s fun to see how we each spin it in our own direction! This is my take on the Day 7 outfit. The formula for this outfit is a denim skirt, a bright top, a kimono,…
It’s the most wonderful FASHION time of the year! Am I right, or am I right?!? If you’re wanting to update your wardrobe and (A) need some help doing it or (B) want to have a lot of fun while doing it, I happily recommend the Get Your Pretty On Fall Style Challenge! I’ve done several of these challenges, and I absolutely love them. They taught me how to: put together outfits that are trendy AND appropriate for my age…
