An unusually high amount of travel over the past few weeks serves as a reminder that there is no place like . . .

Lake Tahoe ~ A Summer Tradition

A family tradition continues as most of my family and I spend some time at Lake Tahoe.  All of nature is breathtaking here.  I am so lucky to be able to spend time in this majestic spot each year.

Christmas in July

I'm home from the magical place where fireflies dance in the meadows every evening.  Tomorrow brings the start of an adventure to a different location, a place I visit every year with my family.  But today marks the day when many acknowledge Christmas in July.  My mother, whose birthday was July 23, was notorious for playing holiday music in our home as the late July sun blazed.  The spirited music held promise that another wonder-filled Christmas would take place.  And indeed it did.  Such sweet, sweet memories.

Virginia ~ Fireflies at Dusk

I always thought fireflies were a myth.  I was delighted to learn they are very real indeed, and I get to see them dancing above the meadows every evening while in I'm in Virginia.  They are magical!  Now I'm watching for fairies to appear, too.
