Xcaret: Discovering Old Mexico – Part One
by Krista | Nov 30, 2010 | Gulliver Tuesday
When I traveled to Cancun this past September, I had no idea what to expect. Driving to my hotel from the airport I stared at the miles of shopping malls, ritzy resorts, and glossy billboards and confess I was a bit disappointed. I know all those things can be fun,...
Cozy Days and Hot Porridge
by Krista | Nov 29, 2010 | Bootstrap Monday
Good morning! I just love this picture. Makes me want to spend the day in a cozy cabin somewhere, wrapped in a quilt by the fire, watching the snow fall outside. I'm in a hibernating sort of mood, so I'm wearing my favorite granny sweater and indulging in a big bowl...
Hiking, Getting Older, and A Whole Lotta Snow
by Krista | Nov 26, 2010 | Fabulous Friday
Good morning, dear ones! I'm basking in the glow of a beautiful Thanksgiving with my folks and the few brave friends who managed to make it to their house through the snow storm. We had a wonderful day as the snow continued to fall, blanketing everything in sight....
Giving Thanks
by Krista | Nov 25, 2010 | Plucky Thursday
Happiest of Thanksgivings to my Yankee friends! 🙂 I was so excited to waken to this gorgeous winter wonderland!!! I scrambled out of bed, donned hat, scarf, gloves, jeans, two jackets, wool socks and boots, and off I went to explore this beautimous morning. I...
Washington Forest and Hot Stew
by Krista | Nov 24, 2010 | Compatriot Wednesday
Although Washington has seen fit to freeze me to my bones this week, it really is a most beautiful place to live. There are few things as invigorating as an Autumn trek along trails in the woods, breath coming in great clouds, admiring sunbursts shining through the...
Cancun: A Flowering Paradise, Part II
by Krista | Nov 23, 2010 | Gulliver Tuesday
Mornin!! Brrr, I don't think I've ever experienced cold this intense during my sojourn in Washington State. In Canada, yes. Russia, sure. But here? No way! So this morning as icy winds shriek outside my windows, I'm taking a vicarious jaunt south of the border to bask...
Brrrr, Winter and Grilled Cheese on Raisin Toast
by Krista | Nov 22, 2010 | Bootstrap Monday
Good morning!! I'm huddled under a quilt, a red candle burning brightly as I write to you. It's been wicked cold this weekend, and I've been happy to stay home, warm and safe while the snow falls, temperatures drop, and wind howls. This weekend was one where I needed...
Snow, Winter and An Abandoned Irish Churchyard
by Krista | Nov 19, 2010 | Fabulous Friday
Good morning, dear ones. For the first time this fall, I woke to ice on my windshield and nearby hillsides coated in snow. Although I think we had one of the shortest summers in history, I'm actually kind of happy to see winter arrive. The mountains look so beautiful...
Rheinfall and Fondue in Switzerland
by Krista | Nov 18, 2010 | Plucky Thursday
It was a misty August day when my sister-in-law Kendra, our friend Amy and I set out on a grand road trip from Kendra's home in Boblingen, Germany. We had some guide books, a large bag of candy and snacks, and a rather finicky GPS system that liked to randomly send us...
