Are We There Yet?

I would guess my folks wanted to stop the car, open the back door, kicking my sister and me off to the side of the road, and drive on in peaceful aloneness. How many times were they asked that question, and how many times did it go unanswered? The query lingers in my memory, recalling… Continue reading Are We There Yet?

Whose Way is Better?

It is not only a surprise but also a delight when you run into someone you know while traveling in another city, state or country. Even if San Miguel de Allende in Mexico is one of the more popular cities in the world, it still is shocking and thrilling to bump into hometown folks. That… Continue reading Whose Way is Better?

I’m Traveling to Where?

Finally, I’m off on my travels to our southern neighbor, that would be Mexico in case  you are wondering which neighbor I’m referencing. My sis and I are renting a home in San Miguel de Allende for several months  and it is wonderful to be on our way, after weeks of planning and preparing for… Continue reading I’m Traveling to Where?

Our self-image is wrapped up in what we do for a living, our accomplishments, our income, as though the reason for our being is based on ‘doing’. I… Continue reading To Be or To Do?

DP Photo Challenge-Fun

A few years ago the local Rotary Club hosted a student from Australian, and I had the great privilege to have her live with me for 3 months. During that time she experienced some ups and down, some of those things had to do with my non-cooking talents (more about that in another post) and some were caused… Continue reading DP Photo Challenge-Fun

Could You Hurry and Leave?

It’s off to New England for a few days, and my doglets are delighted. They begin to get really excited when they see the bags come out of the closet and begin to fill up with my clothes. There they are, looking eagerly from the edge of the bed as I pack and repack, planning… Continue reading Could You Hurry and Leave?

Emotography–Intricate

In response to this week’s Emotography theme of Intricate, I chose some of the artwork I found on the buildings in China. Much of it reminds me of the current interest in adult coloring books. Fascinating and intricate. https://ceenoa.com/2016/06/03/emotography-week-212016/
