Beginning alone in Florence

November 20-21, 2008. This is long. And there’s not a lot of pictures until the end.
It has already been a full day by the time I reach the airport. I worked until noon at The Evil Corporate Empire, attended a 2 hour clergy caucus planning meeting in the afternoon and then was barely able to [...]

Journey to…

Can you believe it? My vacation is over today! If all went well, I should be spending the day wandering around the ancient sites of Rome. ROME!!! And what is even more amazing is that I have all these writer friends who willingly and without hesitation agreed to write a guest post for me while [...]

Sitting at the Kid’s Table

I am so thankful to have found such talented writers in my wanderings through the blogosphere. And then to think that some of them would actually let their writing be put on my blog while I’m on vacation? Over the moon, is what I am.

In honor of Thanksgiving in the USA tomorrow, we have a [...]

Brass Monkey

I am SO lucky to have made such good blogging friends! While I’m away in Italy, missing you all madly of course, several of these good friends have agreed to write a guest post. Today, we have Movin’ Down The Road.
Here’s a cautionary tale about looking for authentic LIVE music in a new city… [...]

Rocky (Mountain) Reunion

I am so grateful for the people I’ve meet on these here innerwebs. For instance, when asked a few to share travel stories while I was gone THEY SAID YES! Who knew?? Churlita, a rather Churlish Figure, lives just a few hours south of me with her teenage daughters who are about the same ages [...]

Last Train to Memphis

I am SO fortunate! Not only have I been able to take this trip to Italy but I have FABULOUS blogosphere friends who will relate their sordid travel tales for your enjoyment while I’m gone. Today, DCup from Politits and Unglued shares the joy of train travel with small children. A cautionary tale, even without [...]

The Diva’s take on the Big Easy

While I’m on vacation, I’ve asked several blogosphere friends to share stories of favorite vacation spots. And they said “Yes!” What’s up with that???? Amazing and wonderful and much more, is what I think.
Today, the day I touch down in Italy, Diva T is going to share her love for a great American icon: New [...]

Ciao, baby!

I’m all packed and ready. I’ve had my morning meeting. I’m putting out a couple of fires and making sure I’ve covered the bases I need to cover. I’ve got an ISAIAH meeting at 1 and then another little fun meeting at 3. I’ll leave that a little early, go home, pick up my single [...]

Music Monday – Going on Vacation Edition

So, some of you know that I”ve been waiting, waiting, waiting to go on this vacation. I’ve been saving and worrying and saving and paying deposits and all sorts of baby steps since way back in January.
Thursday is the big day. I can hardly stand it. You’d think I was 7 years old and going [...]

Fantasy Friday

Is it the blue sky, blue water and sunshine? The fact that it was vacation? That it was a very good vacation? The wonderful people I met? Or all of the above? My thoughts have drifted back today to my week of solo vacation in the Everette/Seattle area last summer.
If it wasn’t for the horrible [...]
