Perfect Little Beach Cottage

This is the perfect little beach cottage.  I just couldn't resist taking a picture of to share with you all.  It is a little house near downtown Rockport, Texas that is being restored.  

I love the shingle roof and the palm trees in front.  It has porches on the front and back.  Love it!  Hope you all had a great weekend, so good to be back and take a hot bath in my big ole claw foot tub and not a shower at a hotel.  Enjoy, Heidi

Salty breezes are whispering my name.

Sorry for the lack of Blog, time to recharge the batteries.  There will be Blogs to come, only they will have to wait till next week.  Have a wonderful weekend my lovelies.  I'm off to the beach.  Enjoy, Heidi

First off I wanted to thank all of you for the lovily comments, they really stroked my ego, you know, the one that I am trying to dissolve. (Reading The Art of Happiness and loving every bit).

As for this post, it is about something that has been pulling at my heartstrings for years now, Australia.  I would love to live there someday but for the time being I will be happy with visiting, so I have entered  a contest to win a trip for two on a wine tasting get-a-way.  It is called Taste your way around Australia.  I have played their little wine tasting game 75 times now, my goal is 200. (each time you play it is another chance to win)  My chances to win are high, but since I never win anything, I don't feel overly confident.  I have become an Australian wine expert through this little challenge.

  My persistance will pay off one day and one day I will be in Oz.  Enjoy, Heidi

The Giraffe Manor.

Surrounded by 140 acres of indigenous forest just outside Kenya's capital, Nairobi you will find The magical and amazing Giraffe Manor. I could totally stay at this manor for it's old world charm, but obviously for it's residents. Check out the website to read more, it's fascinating. Enjoy, Heidi
