Fascinating account of an incredible trip, Copper. I am so glad you shared it with us. I learned a lot and enjoyed every second. ....Sachet

mmmm....hmmm.... It's finally cool enough here to enjoy hiking once again. Chilly nights, make for cool mornings and warm afternoons now that the heat of summer is gone. The leaves on the trees are *just* beginning to change...especially at the higher altitudes. Soon I can grin when I...

You've been in my thoughts and prayers. So glad to see you feeling well enough to be online once again. Best wishes for a rapid and smooth recovery! :)

There are various points of connection for me.... Watching a classic movie from the 40's or 50's and contemplating the lives of the people - both as the actors and as the real people they were then - and how there is an ambiance that newer movies don't have. Some would say the older movies are...

Amazing! I have so many questions I don't even know where to start. The layers of meaning portrayed within each photo is incredible. It feels like you could literally step into each one because of the strong sense of "being there" that you manage to convey. Obviously it takes superlative...

Well said, Real Swell Gal. :) I totally agree....whatever works for each individual. I condition everyday. Have to with my curls or my hair would be all over the place. On rainy days when my hair tends to be more contrary I even use a little bit of spray leave-in conditioner to tame it...

Wow, that set brings back such memories from when I was a little girl visiting my Aunt. I was in awe of all of her make-up. Thanks for the sweet memories! :) ....Sachet

I wish everyone would give us the history of their photo's as you did so well, Copper. Your story added interesting depth and even more enjoyment as a result. ....Sachet

I like knowing that I won't have to be subjected to someone else's smoke polluting my air in public places. My not smoking does not harm another person. Someone smoking near me, especially within an enclosed establishment, is harmful. The facts are indisputable. I'm all for a compromise by...

A "gentleman" wouldn't even had to have been asked to stop. Once possibly, for inadvertently misunderstanding. Twice. Purely bad manners. I speak from the perspective of a mother of a teen trying to do his very best at his first job. New no smoking rule the restaurant established, and that he...

Eating out...exchanging traditional gifts....hopefully enjoying a self-indulgent massage at a local spa. And this time I won't let the masseuse talk! Which sounds rude, but last time I mistakenly and naively told her that I wouldn't mind if she talked and people tend to open up to me, which is...

Thanks! Thank you so much for such a prompt and helpful reply, Daisy! I am now excited instead of feeling overwhelmed by the stairs. I knew I didn't want to re-carpet and plain wooden stairs are so loud and slippery. I have googled and found several sites as you mentioned, now that I...

Very nice! I think there's a special feeling associated with finding and wearing vintage items of such high quality. I am happy for you that you are able to enjoy your finds. Your pictures brought something to my attention that is a totally unrelated tangent. I am slowly but surely redoing...

It depends on who I am thinking of.... For my kids there is a special sweetness associated with the memories of homemade glitter-laden Valentine's, cookies, those necco like hearts with messages on them that they love, even to this day as teens. Many traditions were began and I hope they will...

I stopped it as well. I couldn't comprehend the need to embrace so many negatives aspects of life and when I started flinching in anticipation of someone's pain, that was it.
