What I am loving right now, May 2016

Yep, always treats on the hall stand along with fresh flowers.

My Iphone Camera

Yes, I have a SLR. My first one was bought with college graduation money. Having always had a mild interest in photography, I have even taken a few camera classes. Its harder than the pros make it look. Usually my ‘fancy’ camera is tucked away in its bag. Having my Iphone usually within arm’s reach makes taking photos so easy.   Also, with the Cloud, my photos all end up on my computer without any extra effort. I just open Photostream and there they all are. And, it takes good pictures.

Fresh flowers

Do you have an item you splurge on? I rarely get pedicures, though there are 10 shops within 5 miles of my house. I figure by the time I get there, wait for the polish to dry and return home, I could have just stayed at home and painted my toes myself. I also maybe have an aversion to the possibility of unsanitary tools and them clip, clip, clipping away at the skin around my toenails. However, many of my friends regularly pay for this service. Back to what I am loving. Flowers brighten my day. They make me smile. Honey will often pick up a bouquet when he does a Costco stop on his way home. Now that my garden is in full bloom, my joy is to fill a vase with water and wander around the yard to see what I can clip and bring inside.

Travel Forum at Ricksteves.com

Honey & I recently spent time planning a trip to Italy.  It is exciting to check a travel item off my bucket list.  Rick Steve’s website has so much great info if you are planning a trip to Europe.  The Travel Forum is a great way to explore  topics about money exchange, money belts, the train system, etc.  I used it to ask a question about day long Tuscany wine tours.  Several members posted helpful info and links to tours they had taken.  I also downloaded the Rick Steves app for my phone.  There are several tracks you can listen to about the culture, food, and general tips on your country of interest.

I will post after the trip and let you know how the wine, I mean Tuscany tour, worked out.
