Happy Friday, dear friends!

Continuing this year's series, America 250, here is a photo essay of my trip a couple of weeks ago from Texas to Reno, Nevada. A lot of driving, taking pics along the way, this essay shares the beautiful scenery along the way.

Enjoy,
Barb :)

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Share Your Style is up and ready for your post links. Sorry about missing last week… I had just returned from driving 2000 miles over three days and I was WIPED! Better now here a week later but I had zero energy for a few days, lol!
Lots of fun things from the trip to Reno and California via the Southwest to share. Two posts already up if you haven’t seen them: 1) Ethereal Gardens in My Mother-in-Law’s Mobile Home Park and 2) Thinking of You - Memorial Day. The latter is a visit to Placerville Union Cemetery and trying to find a special friend’s grave along with honoring fallen servicemembers.
See you soon for any and all, with more coming out on Friday,
Big Texas hugs,
Barb 🤠

Share Your Style #499

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's Share Your Style #499! I arrived home last Wednesday evening after driving 2000 miles home over three days. Having NOT pre-prepped SYS, I couldn't muster the energy to get Share Your Style out last week on Wednesday or on Thursday. I apologize for that, dear friends! However, we are back up and finally refreshed, the clothes are washed and put away, and I am busy writing and trying to get back out exercising....
