Thursday Thoughts: Vacation on the Brain

A friend recently started a travel blog, Ready for Adventures.  Another friend is currently exploring the southern United States and reporting on her blog, Quilts, Cats, and Automobiles.  A few nights ago, John asked, "If you could go anywhere outside of the United States, but not visit any man made site, where would you go?"  (New Zealand, the Great Barrier Reef, and Tahiti immediately came to mind, along with seeing the aurora borealis and the fjords of Norway.)

Apparently everyone around me has vacation on the brain.  So, let's dream a bit.  Suppose you had unlimited resources and no responsibilities, where would you like to travel, and what would you do?  (I won't even restrict you to natural sites.)  Would you visit the pyramids or hike Kilimanjaro?  Take in a Broadway show or relax with a book on the beach?  All of the above?  Chime in!
Thanks for the wonders of the world.

    The way the world is now though, I am happy to be an armchair traveler. :)

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
