Just recently found your lovely blog! Loving it so far.
I posted earlier this week about my love for Korea, our son’s birth country. It truly is one of the most incredible places on earth. I miss it every day…
Blessings!
Richmond Beach, Washington; Port Angeles, Washington; Maasai Mara, Kenya; Karen, Kenya; Perthshire, Scotland; downtown Edmonds, Washington; all of eastern Washington. This has been a lovely exercise — fun to think about these special places. :)
Scotland – oh, there’s somewhere I very very much want to visit!
I live in Scotland! You definitely have to come to visit here. It is just beautiful.
*sigh* bee-ootiful. Post pictures please!
Stephanie, you must be acquainted with Taymouth Castle. Ancestors of mine were the working people who lived along both the north and south shores of the Loch Tay. MacDiarmids. Where do you live?
I’m in Inverness. I don’t know the castle that you’re speaking of but now I’m interested so I’ll go and google it.
Bull Run Regional Park, the third week in April:-)
OK, now I will have to check it out – we love discovering new places around here. (And can I just say how big it made me smile to see a comment and link from you? Thanks for leaving your footprints here ;)
My favorite places are:
*Cartagena, Colombia
*Monserrate – a church on a mountaintop that overlooks Bogota, Colombia
*Rangers Ballpark in Arlington

Arlington, TX – home of the Texas Rangers.
You should still check it out. :)
Rachel, I’ve been to Montserrate a few times. That was back in the 1970’s. Amazing views and such a charming old culture up there on the hill.

I will see if I can find some pictures for a post tomorrow, but for now, I’ll share my thoughts and just enjoy the pictures in my head. :)
