Several weeks ago, my husband and I spent a few days in Los Angeles. The main reason for our visit was to see family but we also wanted to explore the downtown area. When I research an unfamiliar d…| Retirementally Challenged

It’s been a couple of years since I took this photo and, although I remember roughly where it is it’s not enough to search for any kind of info. For what I can guess, it probably dates from the early 20th Century, maybe 1910’s, 1920’s at a push. The door itself is gorgeous but it […]| photographias
No information on this lovely, tiny door I’ve found in Monsaraz. I love the cobbled street too. Posted for Dan’s Thursday Doors| photographias
August 19, 2025, was our 29th anniversary. We were going to take a brief trip to the Oregon Coast area. Because Hubby had a doctor’s appointment, we postponed the trip to Monday, the 25th, this week, and went to Lincoln City for two days. Lincoln City is about 82 miles southwest of our home. My daughter recommended it because it| The Showers of Blessings
Our vacation in Italy was a leisure trip, visiting three cities, Rome, Florence, and Venice, and spent three days in each. In stead of taking the tour bus, we took high-speed train from city to cit…| The Showers of Blessings

Hubby and I returned from Italy two weeks ago. It took me a week to get over the jet lag, but it took us no time to get back into our grandparenting’s life. The grandkids came for a sleepover…| The Showers of Blessings
In Mérida the ruins seem larger than life. The temple to the goddess in Évora (in Portugal’s Alentejo) seems but a pale shadow in comparison. One of the oldest Roman buildings and the only ex…| Still Restlessjo
Sunday, May 18, 2025 Welcome, to my humble sanctuary. This is not a poem — I don’t write poetry. Maybe a rhyme or if I put my mind to it, an occasional limerick, but I wouldn’t even k…| Teagan's Books

And I hope no one has been holding their breath, but here I am, and here is a #thursdaydoor for my best blogging friend, Dan Antion. I have fought countless tech dragons and attacking gatekeepers to get to this point and am ready to join the Thursday quest for interesting doors. Miss you all. My […]| Dreaming Reality
She stops and leans against the wall, afraid to move, she longs to call his name Panting, breathless, from the climb, she views the place now left behind in shame Knuckles white as they grip the vines, entangled as the love that binds her heart Soundless stretch the moments, long, she wonders could she have […]| Dreaming Reality
unfortunately the ‘gardener’ trims but doesn’t clean up, so I raked the yard. There is a gate in the fence that leads to the cabanas below. The Sertracen in David, our version of the DMV. Have you ever seen a less crowded one? It still takes a ridiculously long time to get things done at […]| Dreaming Reality
Hello! Have you forgotten me yet? We’ve been so busy since I was last here to post. A health trip back to the states followed by getting sick after returning home has made for a less than ideal few weeks. But for Dan Antion’s TDWC I have to make time and find some doors to […]| Dreaming Reality
Today’s post is doing double duty since we spent the better part of yesterday shopping in the ‘big’ town. I missed Dan’s #ThursdayDoors prompt on Thursday but hopefully can swing in under the wire. Stop by his place today for some news about Skippy’s recent project. Thanks for the chance to enjoy a drink on the fun […]| Dreaming Reality
Here we are again, doing another Doorscursion with Dan Antion and another day of #JusJoJan with Linda Hill. In case you doubted the idea of synchronicity, posit this. I grabbed a quick snack and sat in my swing for a relax and catch up with blogging. Imagine my (amused) surprise when I saw the word […]| Dreaming Reality

This door will close now. It’s Thursday, it figures. I had the idea of going through this blog and drawing attention to a few most memorable posts for the final chapter, but I shan’t.
