Midlife Reflections
La Tour Eiffel
Good morning! As a diversion today from all of the snow and cold I thought I would share a few of my favorite photos of the Eiffel Tower or La Tour Eiffel as the French refer to her, from my last trip to Paris. Here are a few “fun facts” about the Eiffel Tower: *…
Outpost General Store, Wayne Illinois
Hello! Happy frigid, as in -25 below with the windchill, freezing Thursday. This sort of weather makes me crazy because it is so cold you: a. Do not want to leave the house. b. Feel as if you will never be warm again. c. Want to eat everything, especially warm comfort food like soup, macaroni…
Paris Cafes
Good morning! I know that I promised to show you a few photos from my trip to Paris, but I took over 2000 and I am sure that you do not want to see them all. On this snowy, windy Wednesday I thought you might enjoy a a few of my favorite cafes. If I…
Paris Storefronts
Good morning! As I mentioned, I am recently returned from my annual trip to Paris. In addition to visiting museums, sampling eclair’s, and sitting in cafes drinking chocolat chaud, I spent many hours wandering and taking photos. Here are just a few of storefronts that caught my eye. I hope you enjoyed the window shopping,…
Happy Birthday to Me!
Forty-seven things I have learned in forty-seven years. Good morning, friends. Today is my birthday.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Good morning! Can you believe that it is already October? Dare I say that soon it will be time to think about the turkey and the mistletoe? Image from Julep and The Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation As you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and is a cause that is very close to…
Maine Finds and The Fabulous Find
Good morning! As you know from yesterdays post I spent the last week in Maine and in addition to taking in all of the breathtaking views I did manage a little shopping. After all a person needs a souvenir or two to remember their trip by. I visited the boutiques, a flea market, and even…
Maine Farmer’s Markets
Good morning! Aside from the beautiful scenery of Maine, the quaint towns, and of course all of the sea food one of my favorite things we did was visit the farmers market. We frequent one where we live but this one felt different. Probably because this market which was held in Bath sold everything from produce,…
Maine, My New Favorite Place
Good morning and happy Fall! I am back from a wonderful adventure to Maine. It was my first time visiting both New Hampshire and Maine and I am sure that I am not the first to say this but I will anyway, I could move there tomorrow. Both states are beautiful, laid back, filled with…
