100 Things to be Thankful for

It’s that time of year again. Huge dinners, family celebrations, and after-turkey naps. In honor of Thanksgiving,  I’ve compiled a list of 100 things that I am thankful for: My Family (DUH!) My Friends….yes, I have friends. My Familiars ~DeSoto, Sasha, & Exmoor & a goldfish too!~ My talents = ART, photography, writing, so on…

Travel to: Saratoga Monument

Atop the tallest hill in the area of Old Saratoga (Schuylerville, NY), sits the Saratoga Monument. The obelisk reaches for the clouds at a towering 155 ft! What is this monstrosity doing in a tiny town, you ask? It’s to commemorate the American victory of the Battle of Saratoga, during the Revolutionary War. This area is…

Things To Do: Turning Point Parade

A couple weekends ago, the annual Turning Point Parade passed through town. This is the second year I’ve spectated with family and friends. The weather was beautiful and the parade seems to get better every year! The Turning Point Parade commemorates the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga on October 17, 1777 during the American Revolutionary…

Dog Days

I am definitely a dog person. Don’t get me wrong I love cats too. I don’t think I could live without a dog in my house though. I mean, they bring a certain cheer to the place. No matter what, you know that there is always a happy greeting when you get home. Whenever you are…

Free Spirit Realm

This is something I have never exposed before. Honestly though, that’s no surprise. I keep a lot of things to myself but that is all changing now. I like the word exposed because I feel naked sometimes when I share things that are important to me. Don’t we all! This week’s exposure is going to…
