just words...

wish for advice please... has anyone in the bloggy world ever gone from a . com to just a blogspot again ...at the end of March 2025 I am not gonna stop paying for my . com any more in this foreseeable future??! i assumed way back when that it would go into something to make a bit of money, I might hook up with other travel folks or folks wishing to do as other blogger once did, but??! ... what a joke now that i look back on it. I have found it tough to get in with the other bloggers, oh well, "c'est la vie" is the saying i do believe, we all have dreams some happen, others are squashed to complete mush. wondering if you are able to keep your photos or what will be there when it is gone? it doesn't really matter, I will not be heartbroken they are gone if they are as such, but hope they will somehow stick around, some how, some way?!?  update in the real world, or daily life:  we had a tree fall on your house, nothing that problematic relatively speaking ...it will no...

Christmas Vacation

Image
  On a weekend of errands in December 2024 ... right before the big change of New Year of 2025 ...we saw this beauty ... I would think you are familiar with the movie "Christmas Vacation", with Chevy Chase?? Too funny, right? Loved it. My hubby had seen it when I was not in the truck and we made a point to go by and get these photos. Do you have a favorite Christmas film you can watch over and over? This is one of those for us. Have a blessed day. Hope your 2025 ...is going well ... how is writing that going for you ... 2025 ...gotta do that a bunch. LOL!! This is the first Sunday I've had a moment to share these photos. Drop me a comment, tell me how life is, how the family, friends and you are doing??! Take Care. Beth ( ; 

West VA Covered Bridges

Image
  This one was off the beaten path as they say ... and not in the big parts (cities or towns) of West VA ... I'm seeing double (funny how so many bridges can start to look similar or have bits that are just so similar but not??! odd.) ... after looking at all the covered bridges, so many to pick from ... WOW!!! What was so kind a man (so many folks would just run on through, but he made a point to give us a chance to grab the photo, before he drove through) who lived a while passed this bridge took the time for us to take a picture ... so KIND!! I love kind humans. so COOL!!  Philippi Covered Bridge  Now I know we visited this bridge years ago ...but for some reason it looked more sad this time ... worn ...where as the last time it was more happy ...so maybe it has been recently painted back then or whatnot???!! A must see for sure ... it is a busy bridge ...so cool. Indian Creek Covered Bridge (I think so? it doesn't show the sizing in any pics so I am wondering if I hav...

I shared Cairo on the 19th of January ...so if you missed it please catch up ... such a gorgeous area of West VA. so so so pretty. The leaves were starting to change, falling on the ground ...so the sounds were all around ... crunching, birds ... not to many people ... a few here and there. But not overly busy. Taking in Sept end of the month and beginning of October 2024. Just a week away ...takes a few troubles away, LOL!! Nice to just see something new to you ... and breathe. SO NICE!!! I will say that in #19 tunnel I felt some force, like it did wish for me to leave ... I believe in GHOSTS b...
