It has been a fun and exciting week for me. First, Ed and I decided to take two days off to go Savannah, Georgia since we had never been before. It is a 2-1/2 hour trip from our house. We walked around, took a trolley tour and did all the touristy things. The weather was in the upper 80’s, but not too hot to enjoy the city.
Then on the second day, we headed to Tybee Island, GA to check it out. We rode around the island to get a feel for it, walked on the beach, and ate lunch there before heading home.
Both Ed and I agreed that taking short trips like this are good for us. They give us a break to take the time to enjoy life while also seeing new places. I always find I come home inspired with new ideas which in my mind is always a good thing. :-)
When we got home, we got a phone call from our younger daughter, Mandy and her boyfriend, Matt. He proposed and she said yes! They are perfect for each other and we couldn’t be happier. So helping them plan their wedding in Virginia will begin as the mid November date will be here before we know it.
Now onto the links I found this week.

I watched this $3,200,000 home being built as it is near me on the lake I live on. It is interesting to see the inside now that is is done. Not sure I like the mostly grey and black interior decor though.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe… After looking at many of the homes in this architect’s portfolio I had a hard time choosing which home to link to. I like this one because of the location. Amazing! Don’t miss browsing through the rest of the site for more for inspiration. There are sections for new homes, renovations, interior design and even an image gallery of rooms by category.

We are entering strawberry picking time. Here are two delicious ways to use them. This recipe looks delish if you have fresh strawberries. Don’t have any fresh? Then consider this recipe that uses frozen strawberries. I guarantee it will be a hit with whomever you serve it to.
Out & About
I hadn’t heard of this town… I just added it to my “places to go” bucket list.
