Travel

I was thinking of someplace warm today and was reminded of a recent vacation. So, here is a fill-in-the-blank summary of my favorite type of vacationing... Cruises.

I __________ for the very first time while I was on my cruise.

Why I created this Blog

Welcome! Glad you could stop by.

I'll be using this blog in the future for most everything I wish to share with my family and friends, but do not wish to necessarily put on facebook. I also want to use this blog as a way to document my new and developing gardening skills, share some of my art & travel interests, and let you in on whatever else I might be up for sharing.

Please leave any comments on any post... and please excuse any misspellings... I am not always going to check for that kind of thing! :)

Lots of Love~
