Our bags are packed and we are ready to explore ...
Where should we go?
Somewhere far? Somewhere near?
Somewhere new? Somewhere dear?
Our train is waiting ... adventures await!
All Aboard!
And someone please pack the peanut M&M's - I'm having a serious craving.
;-)
Southern France, Provence! This is definitely the place to go. I am ready with bags packed,too. BUT,I don't have any great red boots to wear like someone I know. Will have to work on that one. Will black Birkenstocks do?? Let's Go. Marcy

I think you should come over to my house=) I live in Florida too and a have cottage on the east coast...I would love for some kindred spirits to come sit on my couch & give me some opinions on colors and what my house is lacking=) We moved here last July & I'm still settling=) I am watching the sunset thru the french doors & I could use some decorating company. I got samples of your yellows to try=)
Have a beautiful Sunday!

Well, if we are going by train ...... how about a trip on the Orient Express?
Posted by: Rosie's Whimsy | February 21, 2009 at 06:12 PM
If it's by train, the Canadian Rockies would be great, but by plane it would have to be either Maui or Tuscany.
Oh, and btw, we're going back to Savannah for Easter week if we can keep my dad out of the hospital long enough! Love it!

I LOVE your boots and the valise, too! I'd say lets head west since you've got your boots. I'll get some too and we'll visit the rodeos and see the mountains and the plains!

This morning I hit the thrift stores in Ephrata, WA with three fabulous girlfriends!! We were headed to Soap Lake too but ran out of time... so Soap Lake is my mini get away next time we get a Saturday when the husbands watch the kids.

Count me in, but I will be a little late, just send the destination. I smell leather and have to buy boots.
See you there. Kathy, Needful Things

Your photos are always so fabulous!! You really know how to take a great picture :-)
As for where to go.... anywhere that doesn't have snow!! I'd love to go back to Luxembourg and Belgium.... but in some sort of time machine contraption so we wouldn't have to sit on planes for 12 hours ;-)

Aah Kim what a great idea! I have cowboy boots just like that in blue and I love M&M's too! I'm ready to go anywhere with you on a shopping trip and a train ride sounds wonderful too. RJ

Posted by: Julie (Knitsational) | February 21, 2009 at 10:45 PM
Well my dear I'm on my way to Arizona on Monday and those red boots surely would fit in! Happy Trails!!
Posted by: naturegirl | February 22, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Well, since you've got the boots out, I bet we're going to TEXAS to check out the Serendipity Sale and maybe the Canton market and all these great shops bloggers write about all the time that I can't go to because I live 15 hours north in Iowa ....so let me get my boots ( they're more like SNOW boots) and I'll meet ya soon...I just gotta go, ya know? (My snow boots are a burgundy wine color- not red, but close :)
And thanks for the kind thoughts on my family's sad news...it's getting better with time...

Love those red boots. Come on over to Fort Worth; I live less than a mile from one of the best craft/antique malls in town. Pop on over to today's post and see what-all you inspired when I was puttering around yesterday.

Oh how I would love to go to the beach! I Love Cherry Grove Beach in South Carolina. I can dream away hours thinking about the wonderful times I've had on the beach and beach houses.
We use to go several times a year with friends. What wonderful memories I have. Thank God for memories.
For now I go to the virtual beach in an online game called second life. Well, at least I have that:)

Hey Kim, Are you sure you want to leave sunny Florida this time of year? Oh... you say this is a pretend trip!! Well then the sky is the limit and while we are at it let's go in a Lear jet. We can anywhere in the world. Fuji, Hawaii, Greece, you name it we can go there.
Children are so much better at this game than I am. :)
Posted by: Nancy | February 22, 2009 at 09:19 PM
I'll go anywhere if you'll let me where the red boots. How about Asheville? A friend of mine lives there and she knows a fabulous spa in the area. I'll bring your peanut M&Ms and bring plain for me. Don't forget Maggie and I'll bring Oliver. They may need pedicures too.
Posted by: Lallee | February 23, 2009 at 07:08 AM
