The Latest...
Hello and a very warm welcome to my blog!
Thank you for visiting my personal web journal where I share my opinions, some good information and experiences on a variety of topics near and dear to me.
Now a little about me!

Dis-moi! Tell me! How fun would your life be if you could actually “have your cake and eat it too?”

Travel & Adventure
Keep in touch!

How did I get here?
Our homes are not defined by geography or one particular location, but by memories, events, people, and places that span the globe. – Marilyn Gardner
