I have been asked many times to do a post on packing for getaways big and small.  After the response from my post about London and only taking a carry-on suitcase and a small tote, friends have been requesting a post on how to organize yourself for packing for two weeks abroad.  It is actually […]

London | A Travelogue

Let me start by saying that I was so pleasantly surprised with how much we each enjoyed London.  Neither my husband nor myself had been to London before even with our combine many trips to Europe over the years.  Maybe it’s a bit of unconscious yankee patriotism that has kept me from wanting to explore […]

I have been in an obsessed phase with my garden these past 2 months.  It just keeps on giving as the spring turns into summer.  Lately this Jasmine espalier has me smiling each time I return home.  It’s been a few years in the making and finally paying off.  Aren’t the little Armeria just the […]

A Bowl Full of Simple | Travelogue: Grand Canyon

The amazing thing about The Grand Canyon is that it really is grand in every sense of the word.  It’s the kind of take your breath away grand that you won’t soon forget.  It is so much more than a photograph could ever depict, an emotion we all felt deeply from the first glance at […]

A Bowl Full of Simple | Stanford Dish Trail

I don’t know how many times I have photographed this tree over the years.  I’ve been on this trail hundreds of times and each time I run past this grand Oak perched high above Stanford University’s Hoover Tower and Palo Alto beyond, it takes my breath away.  I have run or walked the 5.2 miles […]
