An Almost Southern Way of Life Blog & Art Showcase
Last week, I blogged about our first week in Southern France to celebrate our 30th anniversary with Hubby. We’d gotten a deal on a riverboat cruise in the South of France, Provence to Burgundy. Our second week began September 8 as we disembarked from the S.S. Catherine in Lyon. Our French-trained chef…
After a long absence on the blog, I’m ready to record my latest adventure! Today’s blog is a recollection of the first week of my recent trip to the South of France with Hubby to celebrate 30 years of wedded bliss. We started our vacation on a river cruise and…
These were our final days in San Diego. On Wednesday, Hubby finished up at his conference, just in time for lunch. The kids and I picked him up and aimed the van for the Gas Lamp District. We found a parking garage and crossed the street with the smell of lumpia…
We checked into our fabulous Airbnb our second night in San Diego. It was in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a bridge that spans a deep valley. The entire home felt like an IKEA showroom, which I adore! Everything was designed for efficiency. I especially loved the clear garage door and the…

We’re almost done with this travel blog, I promise! On our last full day in coastal Maine, we visited the quaint and charming town of Camden. We got there just as the shops were opening and shopped until hubby got grumpy. We urgently sought out Zoot Coffee and resolved the grumpiness…
Our fifth day in Coastal Maine was my birthday, so hubby planned a special day. We started with a foggy morning again, but soon it was clear enough for us to drive the short distance from the Bar Harbor Inn to the trail around Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park. Jordan…
Are y’all tired of this topic yet? I hope not! I love re-visiting these memories of a glorious vacation to coastal Maine! Our fourth morning was foggy, so we ate a fabulous Continental breakfast at our hotel, Bar Harbor Inn, strolled along the Shore Path and read historic markers along the way,…
We awoke to a golden hue over the water in Little Deer. After a quick breakfast of several-days-old bagels, we headed for Blue Hill Mountain for a morning hike. The young, hip waitress at Arborvine the night before had looked us over when we asked about the Blue Hill Hike…
