Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Brenham, a little Texas town that is most notably the home of Blue Bell ice cream. But just a few minutes out of town there was a unique festival. Chappell Hill Lavender Farm and Windy Winery worked together to put on the 14th Annual Lavender and Wine Festival. This one is unique because it was
Last week I didn’t give my first real impression of Florence. I honestly think I was overwhelmed when I first arrived. The city is beautiful and old. The walls and buildings hold memories of times much older than America. The streets are mostly narrow and all are cobbled. My first full day in the city
I have been asked recently about the type of camera I use for the pictures on this blog. There are two answers. First is my iPhone, it is easy and is almost always in my pocket. The second is our Canon Rebel T6. If you are looking to get into photography or just want a

Texas is seriously hot in the summer. This year the heat was up to 109-110℉ during the hottest part of the day and it was still over 100℉ after 8 o’clock PM some days. However, if you woke up early enough then you could enjoy the relatively cool 80℉ mornings. On a bright but nice
The first full day we were in Italy was a whirlwind. We were going all day. Honestly I feel like I didn’t stop moving from the first morning to the last day and as you read this you will see why. In Rome we were tourists. And the first stop on our first morning was
