Updates and Travel Notes.... July 2009 I've just finished my newest page, Israel and would love you to stop by. I returned full of falafel's and enamored with the beauty of this country!
April 2009 NATCHEZ, MISSISSIPPI has a wealth of antebellum homes and we recently toured some of these historic structures. Pictured is the Mistress of Hawthorne, welcoming us to her historic home on the Natchez Pilgrimage route.
March 2009 DALLAS BLOOMS is a colorful event featuring glorious Spring flowers and heavenly scents--see my travelogue, updated info. and new Things to Do tip on my Dallas, Texas page.
Kimbell Museum's ART AND LOVE in Renaissance Italy was an exquisite exhibit, worthy of all the fanfare and definitely requiring a visit! See two new and one updated Things to Do tips on my Ft. Worth, Texas page.
I've added a new General tip and travelogue to my New Orleans page called RAZZLE DAZZLE. In case you've ever wondered...what exactly ARE pralines(?) see my expanded shopping tip.
November 2008: Our thoughts return again and again to New Orleans where we experienced the appeal of this unique CAJUN city. The flamboyant history of the French Quarter, the sugary beginets at Cafe du Monde and architectural beauty of Jackson Square all held sway over us. We were entranced!
A Fall road trip with my Mom through Amish country was a lovely time to travel the country roads of Pennsylvania. We threaded our way through Volant, New Wilmington, Mercer and Slippery Rock.Before returning to Texas, we included a half day in Old Economy Village, a former pietist settlement located in Ambridge, Pennsylvania.
September 2008: Our Texas vt meet was a wonderful opportunity to meet about 20 fellow vter's from our state and beyond--unfortunately I accidentally erased all my pictures, but we had a great time!
June 2008: A vacation in Oahu this summer was a journey into 'paradise'--the solemnity of Pearl Harbor, exquisite beaches, a verdant countryside and the ever present mountains. We covered quite a bit of territory! I didn't want to leave! Please stop by....

PERSONAL TIDBITS Most of my family lives in Pennsylvania, but some are in Chile, too.
I love cruising!
I am really fond of CATS!
I'm an avid reader--mostly nonfiction books about historic figures and history.
My husband and I enjoy smooth jazz.
I putter at freelance writing.
When we visited Pablo Neruda's homes in Chile (Valparaiso, Santiago and Isla Negra)--I found myself wishing that I could absorb some of his creativity!
I like visiting small towns, museums and art galleries!
We love to travel, especially on the weekends--it doesn't always have to be far. Researching the internet for our next vacation is exhilarating.
I journal when we travel and often collect matchboxes since it's a good way to gather pertinent information. |
| Very Happy Pittsburghers! |
THE SUPER BOWL & THE STANLEY CUP IN 2009! Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers, champions of the 2009 Super Bowl! Coming originally from the Pittsburgh area, we can't help but celebrate their victory wholeheartedly. GO STEELERS--for the most Super Bowl wins in history...six!!

Hi Veronica, thanks for your visits to my Frankfurt and Amsterdam pages. I've been spending the evening sorting and editing photos from my recent trip to Copenhagen -- lots more still to do! I think I'll make a small page on the train & ferry trip first. |
