If anyone had told me that I would be doing puzzles daily to relax, I'd have said a huge, 'No way!" but this is exactly what I've been doing for the last 10 consecutive days. Putting the pieces together brought back memories of visiting the Eiffel Tower and visiting lots of cafes and eating and [...]
Relaxing at Houston International Airport…That’s the way to do it! Reclined after a hearty breakfast and taking in a great selection of airport shopping and exhibitions. The current exhibition, Higher Ground - 2015 - Video - is an interdisciplinary work consisting of video, sculpture and photography. In the spirit of George Méliê s’ landmark 1902 silent [...]
If you are driving on Highway 90, just West of Marfa, you may see some Giant installations based on a James Dean character and Elizabeth Taylor. The art shows Dean’s character, Jett Rink, and other pieces from the 1956 movie. The last movie in James Dean’s short-lived career before his untimely death, “GIANT” was a [...]
Visiting Nashville has been one of my dreams! I was raised as a country music girl so the family front room had equipt me with the sounds I'd hear on my evening walks. Of course I visited the Country Music Hall of Fame and the live bars and ate finger-lickin' BBQ's! I took this [...]
We often wear fashion and know more about the designer than the items’ history. I found this historical account of the Western boot from sheplers.com and didn’t want to edit it down as it was so interesting. “No one really knows who the original inventor of cowboy boots was. According to several different stories and [...]
I recently travelled through western Texas from Marfa to El Paso. I spent a few days in El Paso, from Spanish, (“the pass”). El Paso stands on the Rio Grande across the Mexico-United States border from Ciudad Juarez. The journey triggered an impromptu road trip and as I stopped to take pictures and [...]
I recently took my first solo trip to El Paso, Texas. The three and a half hour drive was exciting with lots to see and do along the way. I will share some of these amazing photos of landmarks you probably have not heard about or seen only in the movies. It would have been [...]
Kangaroo Jake and I were both passing through west Texas. What an exhilarating experience it was to visit a place I'd only seen in movies and hold "Skippy" (UK friends will know what I'm talking about.) I've so many pictures that are as beautiful like this rainbow. Here's an "Indian" jacket I was tempted to buy. [...]
I’ve visited El Paso in the far western part of Texas. The 2018 population estimate for the city from the U.S. Census was 682,669, making it the 22nd largest city in the United States. I spent time near the airport and must say, if you get a chance to stop over to do some shopping, this is [...]
My favorite place to eat in Castries, St Lucia is Blue Monkey Cafe. I do want to try something new, but I keep on ordering the same thing...Quinoa Bowl Original with chicken, lettuce, quinoa, black beans, fried plantain, carrots, parsley, curry mayo, and pesto dressing. I eat half there and half to enjoy wherever I [...]
