The thing I discovered last year in France was that you don't have to pay much extra to upgrade to fantastic hotels (and chateaux!), making the experience sheer pleasure. I'll pop you too in my suitcase next time and share the luxury, but be warned, my case is getting crowded!<br />Hugs, x.thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-27526765039904391772017-10-22T20:19:32.094+01:002017-10-22T20:19:32.094+01:00As everyone says, I'm jealous.

So we picked up a new Canon at the weekend.<br />So lovely that you had a special hotel stay in Kansas City. How great to have a daughter who gets them and is generous with them too.<br />Wow, a passport, sounds like you just may have some <br />plans. ideas, dreams?<br />Hugs, x.<br />thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-65395032518511178352017-10-16T16:38:24.930+01:002017-10-16T16:38:24.930+01:00Well, Anne, I much appreciate you thinking of ways...Well, Anne, I much appreciate you thinking of ways to improve my pics and having old eyes myself, I can't believe I haven't worked out that I should not be standing in front of a similar coloured backdrop. In fact, I should have got heads up when several readers thought I was wearing a huge bustle some weeks ago, but I was wearing a white background dress and standing in front of a white sofa (the bustle)!<br />On top of your astute observation, I have recently been reliant on a phone camera. I bought a new pocket camera at the weekend, so hopefully there will be some improvements!<br />Thanks for you help, hugs, x.<br />thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-15709420015617741232017-10-15T22:00:40.599+01:002017-10-15T22:00:40.599+01:00Oooh, you were really near to where I live!

I will admit that I use it a lot and the Nikon gets to stay at home. The Grand Canyon will be its biggest test.<br /><br />The girls and I did stay in a hotel last night after the Saturday night show. Michelle is a veterinarian and had a lot of points built up from all the conferences she goes to and treated us. That was nice. <br /><br />I've decided to get a passport. Don't know where we will be going, but it will be nice to have one. I'm the only one in the family without one, even the grandsons have theirs. <br /><br />Take care, have fun-Terri Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623141397526171772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-70178522238294038712017-10-15T17:00:54.228+01:002017-10-15T17:00:54.228+01:00Make I offer a suggestion?

I have noticed in a number of your photographs you are wearing something dark and then standing in front of a dark piece of furniture, drape, tree, etc. It makes it hard to see what it is you're wearing. Hard to tell the color and details. Might I ask for lighter backgrounds and more light in the photos? Thanks.

Once the renovation is done it will go up and so will my mood! Ha! Just kidding, I'm always happy, unless of course I am getting run down by a rage filled neighbor while I'm walking in my neighborhood. But I digress.<br />You have become my packing hero! Quite the champ! I feel like I need to plan a trip somewhere so I can challenge myself to do the same. Good call bringing the racy tights - they totally add your spunky personality to an otherwise conservative outfit. <br />Well, I'm off to a Robotics Competition with my son today. All day. Where I'll be surrounded by high school kids with extremely high IQs. It's a bit like the Big Bang Theory and I'm Penny. Way outta my league at these things!
