speechless sunday: Speechless Sunday NYC great for the Holidays
- 11/17/13 06:36 AM
When I was working out today, I was listening to a show on Fox about cool places to travel in the United States for the Holidays. I came in at the tail end of the show; the cities that they listed were Portland, Oregon; Austin, Texas and New York City. I could also add to the list from personal experience San Antonio, Texas and Washington DC.

speechless sunday: Speechless Sunday Parks
- 11/10/13 06:54 AM
I love to walk and photograph parks no matter what time of year. I went to a photo gallery and just stood and looked at the photo of a park for at least 15 minutes. The photo was over $3,000 dollars not sure I can justify that kind of money for a photo but the solitude spoke to me. I hope you guys are having a wonderful Sunday.

speechless sunday: Speechless Sunday Doors
- 11/03/13 04:31 AM
I love doors that look so inviting that you just want to go explore the inside of the house. These doors piqued my interest. It made me wonder; who lives inside? Is there inside as cute and colorful as the outside? What do they do for a living? I hope you have a wonderful Sunday no matter what you are doing.

speechless sunday: Speechless Sunday the Royal Christening
- 10/27/13 05:32 AM
Prince George was christened on October 23, 2013 at St. James Palace where his Grandfather Prince Charles and his wife live. I like watching the Royals, my heart broke for Prince William and Prince Harry when their “mum” was killed. I am a big Diana fan she was a great mother and a great humanitarian. She would be so proud of those boys. I like the way Prince William always keeps his mother’s memory alive and involved in his life. Here are some pictures of St. James Palace on the eve before the Christening; there usually are not … (6 comments)

This is one of the most peaceful places on earth and so beautiful. We spent and loved our two days there. We would love to return for a longer period of time. There is many things to see in and around Hakone including a lovely art museum.
The only regret we had was that since it was summer we could not see Mt. Fuji. I had been lucky enough to go last March and I saw Mt. Fuji from our Hotel. I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.

It has been a very hot summer so far here in Katy, Texas, it has been almost oppressive and it is only June! When it is this hot I like to think of being by the ocean and feeling the cool ocean breezes blowing along the shore to cool things down. I would love to be one of the tropical islands where the breezes are blowing cooling those lucky enough to be there. Take care and have a good Sunday.
