“Gold and Silver, God and Glitter…”

Today marks my last day of my week-long “September Staycation” before I’m scheduled to return to work as normal next Monday morning, and I’m just thankful that the impending Nor’easter – heavy rain instead of endless snow this time! – isn’t set to reach my neck of the woods until tomorrow.

“An ocean of violets in bloom…”

Out of all the museums in Boston that I adore, The Museum of Fine Arts is by far one of my favorites. It’s a place I can get lost in for hours as I wander from floor to floor, room to room, and I’m always stumbling upon something new or unique that I’d never seen […]

High Tea and The Titanic…

This coming weekend marks my last here at home before I set off to Italy on a red-eye flight next Tuesday night, and to say I’ll be spending the next 48 hours checking my packing list and itinerary no less than three hundred times, packing, unpacking, and re-packing again, and having panic attacks when I […]
