Time Traveler

Tomar 

Was like going in a time portal

Traveling back in time 

To the 11th century 

When the Kinghts Templar built this castle

To contain all their wealth and treasurers they had accumulated 

As Knights

And of course gelato

After visiting the sanctuary 

 

On the Beach

My first steps on the beach

After breaking my leg last year 

What a sweet feeling

With the sand between my toes and the water on my feet 

And the sun on my face 

A peach iced tea in my hand 

The sound of the waves 

And the seagulls 

Also went to see the village 

Overlooking Nazare

Listening to a guitar playing I have a dream

Artists made birds

Marble surfboards

White House’s with red tile roofs

A light for the world 

I climbed up to the top of the lighthouse on the cliff to see the view and to feel alive

Home of the 100 foot wave

Taste of gelato

And the sound of church bells 

 

A House in The Country

Using the Navigation our first break was for coffee and cream tart

Martin drove for 2-1/2 hours along the Portuguese countryside 

With all the alerts going off in the rental car

To get to his father’s house in the country

A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey

Flight to Portugal 

Was 14 hours total travel time 

With this beautiful sunrise just as we were landing in Porto

First stop on my big, bold beautiful journey 

 

Stand For Something Good

Divy graduated from Challenger 

We celebrated with burgers 

 

18 Years Of Blogging

18 years ago 

I started this blog. 

When I look back at those first posts I see how the desire was not lost. Not all at once. It was that it just kept losing the competition. Every time the house needed her, desire waited. It waited at the bottom of the list. At the end of the morning rush. It waited for after everyone else was taken care of. 

Most days after never came. 

She did not stop waiting. She got very good at putting herself last.

That what was hers. The desire that existed before the conforming told her where to put it. Still there. Has been the whole time. 

Just waited until I walked into a room that routed it other than last. 18 months ago. 

What is one thing that you desire that has been waiting at the bottom of your list?

Tell me. I want to read every word. 

Once in a Blue Moon

 

Sunny Sunday

Brunch 

 

Gardening

Call it a hobby 

And suddenly all the work is fun

With some dog walks 

Hair cuts

Gelato and bike rides 

Sunset Saunas
