My week: an unexpected trip A death on my husband’s side of the family caused me to spend this past week in Florida. I never met the woman who passed away, and yet, by the time the funeral and other ceremonies were over, she no longer felt like a stranger to me.

Familiar yet Foreign Hi all! I’m back from my 5 week honeymoon. I’ve been away so long that my house feels both familiar and foreign. Do you know that feeling?

Welcome to the Saturday Show & Tell blog carnival! This week, Sarah V. brings us an enthusiastic travelogue about camping in west Texas, entitled Big Bend: Unexpected Beauty posted at Wandering Off. Her post includes photos and vivid descriptions: The flat landscape became a series of dramatic cliffs. The short desert plants disappeared and were replaced by golden grasses and Juniper trees. The straight road began to curve in its attempt to make its way into the basin. Sarah’s post makes me look forward to doing more camping when I get home. I’ve learned, however, that autumn is better than…
Welcome to this week’s Saturday Show & Tell blog carnival! Cherrye Moore of My Bella Vita kicks things off with a post entitled Auntie Adventures: Italian Beach Bums in which an outing with her nephew becomes quite memorable – just not in the way Cherrye had intended it to. As she describes: I’m convinced there really is something to that Aria Calabra that changes a once innocent, well-meaning, pooch-petting boy into a hormone-ranging mostro. Next up, Jennifer Miner presents How to Pick the Right Volunteer Vacation posted at The Vacation Gals – Family travel, girlfriend getaways, romantic getaways, destinations, things…
