I am so disappointed that we had to cancel our tri I am so disappointed that we had to cancel our trip to France. We were originally supposed to leave today. Due to the pandemic and delays on finishing the major renovation of our house in Villefranche de Rouergue, we changed our flights to the beginning of February. A couple of days ago, we canceled altogether. (Some of our flights had been canceled/rebooked/canceled by the airlines). During the 3-month trip, we were going to finish painting, buy furniture, and just try to enjoy the house we've owned for over 11 years--11 years of restoring our 450-year old maison de ville. We got to stay in it for the 1st time last summer by “camping out” with an air mattress, no kitchen, no doors (except the front door) and parts of one bathroom. I’m not a camping kinda girl, but it was fantastic. It made our dream just a little bit real. One of the reasons it’s taken so long is that we’ve paid out of pocket for everything. It’s why we’ve scrimped, and saved, and worked so hard. I took this term off at school for the trip, so it is also wasted time for being able to teach and earn money for our house. :( So, it’s time to pivot. I will be working on my blog (although I was going to do that in France anyway) and my house here in Portland. Time to get organized! The carrousel of life will keep on turning...

I found this photo I took, and it made me laugh because it looks like the baby is a tourist "holding up" the Leaning Tower of Pisa with his foot. LOL I don't have a picture of me holding up the tower.

Happy Wednesday! As it has been very cold and glo Happy Wednesday! As it has been very cold and gloomy here in Portland, Oregon, I wanted to find one of my pictures showing blue skies, green pastures, and a little bit of history. This is Hadrian's Wall in the UK, built by the Roman army around AD 122. We hope to go back to Hadrian's Wall someday.

So many beautiful villages in France! This one is So many beautiful villages in France! This one is an intact medieval village in the Aveyron not too far from Villefranche de Rouergue (where my house is). To enter the center of Villeneuve you have to go through one of four tower gates. It's fairy-tale worthy! #persnicketyliving #france #aveyron #occitanie #occitaniemylove #midipyrénées #occitania #france_focus_on #ExploreFrance #ig_occitaniefrance #francedusud #ig_france #ig_europa #explore_occitane #Villeneuve #villeneuvedaveyon #travelphotograpy #worldtravel #travelpics #medievalvillage #beautifulplacestovisit #exploringtheworld #tourismeaveyron #midlifeadventures #stayandwander #travelgram #travelblog #travelholic #over50travel #travelblogger
