It's quite hit and miss at my grocery store. We are supposed to be taking a trip in March to North Carolina and Pennsylvania to explore all things ancestor. But, I'm so afraid we are going to run into bad weather. But it's so hard to orchestrate a little family vacation (first in over 10 years) with one in high school and one in college and not knowing if the college girl is taking summer classes and when they start. I do hope it works out. I'm thinking you're going to need a vacation from your Paris trip, lol!Kim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-88688339013475785972015-02-02T23:28:01.996-06:002015-02-02T23:28:01.996-06:00More gorgeous images, Deanna!

The thing about blogging is that it is supposed to be fun (unless of course when it isn't and is supposed to generate money) - it is so easy to get caught up and feel guilty when you back down a little - but trust me, living life is far more important than posting about it. Enjoy yourself - just don't go away too long. :)Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236806773789677957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-2892397972503595362015-01-31T19:37:45.897-06:002015-01-31T19:37:45.897-06:00Oh, I love IG ... it's my no-pressure, happy p...Oh, I love IG ... it's my no-pressure, happy place that keeps me creating on days I otherwise may not.

Well, anytime, really. We made a stop today when we were in Lexington. The pitcher that your little pink roses are in? I have the same one!!! We were talking about across the pond this morning. We are crossing the pond in July for Paris and then Italy, 18 days in all. {Not sure but what that's a bit long for this not-quite-so-young-anymore gal.} But I mentioned that Barbara Hurst's daughter and sister-in-law are taking her to the British Isles for her 70th and told Krista to start planning for 3 years hence. We've got to make these trips now, Deanna ... BTW, tomorrow is the half way point between the winter equinox and the spring equinox which calls for a celebration. Maybe ice cream on your raspberries instead of yogurt! :-DDottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-5206948075167248302015-01-31T15:21:42.809-06:002015-01-31T15:21:42.809-06:00LOVE fresh berries! the blooms are beautiful, too....LOVE fresh berries! the blooms are beautiful, too. sounds like a fun trip you have planned!TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-1067156999209451722015-01-31T12:27:22.178-06:002015-01-31T12:27:22.178-06:00Across the pond is always delightful.

I doubt I will ever cross any borders or jump any puddles again in my lifetime- except for Canada which I would dearly love to visit. Your Trader Joe flowers are pretty.

So good to hear. Life does get pretty boring this time of year, doesn't it? Your travel plans sound wonderful. I can't wait to see your photos of Paris! Fresh flowers from the market are so necessary this time of year to keep up spirits. Love your photos.

I'm reading "Return to Exile," the second part of a trilogy about ancient Carthage. Definitely holding my interest. I'm not familiar with that tour group, but I will look into it. My big travel splurge for this year is Japan. It's long been on my list and I'm so eager to see Kyoto.

I'm on Book Bub and my only gripe is that some of those free or almost free books have so many grammatical and spelling errors they start irritating me. But, I guess lousy (or no) editing if they're free should be expected. I need to follow your lead and get some flowers to brighten my table. It's snowing here and has been gray for days - we could use some happy color.
