When you read this post, my husband and I will be traveling, and I probably won’t be able to respond to comments until we stop somewhere for the night. The picture above was taken while we were visiting Spokane, Washington, for a family reunion. Two of my brothers still live in Spokane, the other in […]
Best Laid Plans
Over the years as I’ve done this blog, I’ve shared photos from my numerous trips. I even shared photos from places that I didn’t get to go because of Covid. Last year we had to cancel trips to Italy and South Africa. I am blessed to have gone to all fifty of the states in […]
Vacation Inspiration #Giveaway
Since I started writing, whenever we go on vacation, a book begins to percolate. I often plan our trips around a jaunt I need to make for a book I’m writing. Back when I began my rodeo series, we visited the Fort Worth Stockyards and Aubrey, Texas. Both featured prominently in the series. Since we […]
Pentecost Monday by Merrillee Whren
There are two things I like to talk about when blogging. I like to share my travels, and I like interesting holidays. I’m combining those two topics in today’s post. Yesterday was Pentecost, and today is Pentecost Monday. Pentecost is celebrated fifty days after Easter. Pentecost comes from the Greek word pentếkosta, which means fiftieth […]
Hello Again.
After an eighteen-month hiatus, I’m pleased to be back with the Inspy Romance authors. The last post I made here on the blog was in 2017 just a few days before we took a month-long trip to Australia and New Zealand. I’d love to share all of my photos, but I’ll settle for just one. […]
I’m Simply Smitten with Travel
It’s difficult to believe that we are already in December. Well lol as I’m writing this is still November and we haven’t even had Thanksgiving yet. I needed to get my post ready extra early because I will be traveling and not home when my post is due. When do you travel the most? Our […]
Romantic Road-Tripping
These past couple of weeks I’ve spent a whole bunch of time on the road. My husband and I drove from Minnesota to Tampa, Florida, to watch our son graduate college (yay!) and to bring him home. Two days driving down, two days in Tampa packing his belongings and attending the graduation ceremony, and two […]
A Tuscan Legacy in Rios Azules, Texas, plus Excerpt and #Giveaway
We’ve traveled to Tuscany a lot at Inspy Romance lately with A Tuscan Legacy series, but why break tradition of giveaways and excerpts? Besides, I’m thrilled to share my contribution to the series with readers. As I feel at home at Inspy, I’d love for you to help me celebrate my new release, Rapsodia. Rapsodia […]
Up, Up, and Away + #giveaway
Eek! In twelve days time I’ll have my bags packed (I hope), and I’ll be getting ready to leave for the airport. Yes, I’m off again…my annual overseas trip—long may they last. This time though, I’m not going to the usual places like the UK, Finland, Hungary. This time I’m heading in totally the opposite […]
Fun and Folly in Foreign Travel by Merrillee Whren
This is the third year in a row in which my husband and I have taken a trip overseas, this time to Spain and Portugal with a day-trip to Morocco thrown in. The flight from Boston to London Heathrow begins with a cool photo from the plane. I’m going to share some of the fun […]
