On the Way to New Dreams

As you are reading this,

we are readying ourselves for our move to North Carolina

to begin a new chapter in our lives.
The sale of our home in Florida has been quite the experience,
which I'll share at a later time. 

We will check in when we can

after the new year,

as we will be getting settled in later this week.

Here's hoping your holidays

are joyful and that you are surrounded by

love, light and laughter.
The best to you and yours in the coming year.

Thank you for your prayers and support

through this journey.

Blessings be...

Carolina Bound

We are off on a little road trip this week.
It's the perfect time of year for a long weekend,
with fall colors displaying their magnificence.
We hope to visit some of our favorite places,
as well as discover a few new treasures.
We'll try to check in later in the week.
Enjoy this beautiful autumnal season!

Eat Local on the Road

After having to postpone our yearly trip in August

due to family obligations,

our vacation got underway on Friday.

We're visiting family for a couple of weeks

in North Carolina, our favorite destination

and hopefully soon,

our new home.

Road trips are so much fun.

I remember when we were kids

we used to have to actually talk to our parents,

as there were no DVD players, video games or Ipods.

It's a great way to make connections as a family.

Even though it drives your kids a little crazy.

One of our first adventures

was to hit the farmer's market in Davidson, NC.

This charming lil' town's market 

boasts an impressive variety of produce,

baked goods and grass-fed beef and poultry.

These glorious shitakes were picked up to be added

to our pizza dinner.

The berg is picturesque,

especially with the added beauty of fall foliage.

Downtown hosts a bevy of shops and eateries.

What a wonderful way to spend a weekend morning.

Sister and I hope to make it back here

on our own to stroll and grab a bite.

We made a visit to the library too

and picked up 5 books for a dollar at their used book sale.

What a perfect start to new family memories.

On to the next venture!
