A Cotswolds Caper

July 2, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

If you've watched the show All Creatures Great and Small, you've likely been captured by the beauty of the Cotswolds and the Yorkshire Dales in the UK. Joe and I recently returned from ten days in the Cotswolds with some dear friends, and it was a wonderful trip! Here are some glimpses . . .

Doors, doors, and more doors

June 4, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

When you travel, do you have a specific item you take pictures of? For me? It's doors. I love doors. Especially doors in Europe. They seem to have so much more character that the "routine" American entry way. Here are some pictures from a recent trip Joe and I took. And the last pic holds a teeny weeny clue as to what part of the world we were in. :) See if you can … [Read more...]

Glimpses from recent life

April 16, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

In no certain order, here are glimpses from recent life. Both the good and bad, LOL... Joe and I are getting ready to move, again (still in the Nashville area, just down to College Grove), and Kelsey, Kellie, and I (all three of us denim-clad) snapped a pic while we checked out the new house. A new house is exciting and I'm so grateful. But oy, I do not like moving. Who does, though, right? … [Read more...]

Recommendations make a difference

April 2, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

When considering a purchase, I seek advice from others. Maybe they've traveled that particular road before and will have a suggestion or recommendation. Like two weeks ago when I asked for recommendations for toddler locks on doors and drawers. Thank you again, Susan Sines, for recommending the magnetic locks. I ordered the ones you mentioned, installed them with ease, and love the fact that … [Read more...]
