Return To The Vineyard

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Outdoors, Travel

“If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:18‬ ‭

Hello dear friends. It seems that we are in the grip of August heat, pop-up showers followed by steam baths! By this time, I am looking forward to autumn. Typically, we love to travel during fall, it isn’t as crowded and the temperatures are pleasant. Since we have no travel plans in 2020, we are revisiting a favorite autumn road trip and you are invited to come along. Let’s return to the Vineyard…that would be Martha’s!

“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
-Gustave Flaubert

This post is only a highlight of three separate posts that featured Martha’s Vineyard. I suggest for your reading pleasure that you visit all three in order not to miss anything. Click on the highlighted links to view the original post.

When traveling, I always do my homework before I book a place to stay. Charlotte Inn in Edgartown did not disappoint.

An interesting note: A Hallmark movie, A Godwink Christmas that aired in 2018 is the story of the Charlotte Inn owners, Gery and Paula Conover. It is a sweet story about how they met over thirty years ago with the Inn also playing a starring role.

The Charlotte Inn’s Main House was built in 1866. The Inn has the look and feel of one of Europe’s great country homes.READ MORE

August Days

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Summer, Tablescape Tuesday

“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends. I certainly hope your week is off to a good start. I haven’t shared a tablescape at the picnic table in several weeks. It is a shaded area which is most pleasant during these hot August days!

“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.”
-Camille Pissarro

The “artist garden” tablecloth by April Cornell was my inspiration for the tablesetting!

In case you haven’t noticed, I have a weakness for floral tablecloths!READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 301

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Simple + Southern Sunday

“Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it— the Lord is his name: Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭33:2-3‬ ‭

The morning light was so unusual for a few minutes one day this past week that it gave pics the appearance of a painting on canvas!

A short time later, with different light and no fog, everything takes on new look!READ MORE
