Tales from Vacation 2015: The Final Day Sunday


 All good things must come to an end. We woke up Sunday morning and said farewell to our friends. So sad.

On our drive home from Williamsburg we stopped in Winchester, VA for lunch and to walk around a little bit. Anyone else think it's awful just sitting in a car all day long? 


I found this restaurant to stop at. La Nicoise Cafe




I ordered some hot tea. There is just nothing like tea to me. You coffee people can have your coffee. I just want tea.

The man had a crepe. He said it was good, just not very filling. It is kinda small.

I had my favorite meal: chicken salad. Seriously, I could eat this every day.
What made me laugh about this restaurant was that the dining room was split in two, the left side is where the customers all sat, the right side was empty tables (empty from customers) but the tables were full of stuff. One was simply overflowing with cookbooks. Thankfully I saw this after we ate. Ha!
Love the name of this salon in town.

Winchester might be my new favorite place to visit. They have an "old town" with a street blocked off from drivers. You can walk up and down the few blocks, shop, eat, and drink. 


This cracked me up. Tacos al Pastor. Too bad the man had already  had lunch. I would've gotten the pastor the pastoral tacos.


The buildings were just beautiful
Ice cream shop. It was closed, much to the chagrin of the man.



We did stop at this coffee shop before heading home. They had chai. It made me happy.


I really need to go back to this town and explore some more. Perhaps when it warms up a bit.

There was even a dude singing in the street. Just him and his guitar. If you are looking for a nice place to get away to for a night or two then I recommend Winchester, VA. Lovely little place.

Front Row Seat

  If you've been around me any length of time, you'll know I love having a front row seat when possible. Church. Concerts. Comedy shows. Auctions. I want to be front and center, where the action is, so I don't get distracted and miss something. I want to be part of the event and front is where it's at.  Lately I've had a front row seat to some things that I wish I could unsee. My mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis and the last year and a half of watching her slow and steady decline into a world of unknowns has taken a toll.  I tend to hold every emotion inside. Always have. I've learned -these past fifteen months or so- that this is bad for my health. Stress levels are impacting how I feel. Palpitations, and a diagnosis of "harmless" PACs, have left me trying to manage this stress. It's gotten easier but, I'll admit, I still have things shoved down inside. And then along came CDH. A diagnosis I'd not heard of before it was given to gran

It's Not A Blessing if you Had to Sin to Get it

Pretty strong words but also very true. I once heard a man say his girlfriend was, "A gift from God."  Except she wasn't because she was still married to someone else. Glenn wiggled in and turned her head and snatched her away from her husband and children. How dare he think God had anything to do with that. He doesn't work that way. If you want His blessings then you need to walk closely with Him. He will never bless sin. He can't. He is unable to. Sin is what separates us from God.  Glenn may think he is living a blessed life as he runs on emotions and feelings but nothing like this will prosper. In the end it will lead to destruction.  It already has. The family he destroyed will never be the same. 

Selling items on Craigslist and common scams

I'm selling a couple of things on Craigslist. I've done this a few times before and always, the first interested parties I hear from are scammers. This time in my listing I specified that I will not take money orders and asked that scammers not contact me. Here's the first interested party that I heard from: mr robins journeycristina@gmail.com Is it still available for sale... I replied: Yes it is. Here's the second contact from the first interested party. Note that the name of the sender and the email of the sender are different than the ones from the first contact: Clyde Wright fisherr.mattyy@gmail.com Hello, Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay with the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase and my form of payment will be by sending you Check via UPS next day delivery.
