Lulu’s Musings….

Here we are about to welcome a new year, and I’m wondering how this one flew by so quickly.  Is the same true for you?   For the next few minutes, I want to think about 2013 and remind myself of the highlights.

I was fortunate to have some wonderful travel experiences.

First, there was Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam with the Traveling Sisterhood.  That is an adventure to hold on to for years.

Later, the hubby and I traveled to France for Chef Michael Salmon’s Foodie Adventure, an experience to be truly savored.

In August, we went to Iceland, a journey full of fascination.

For the first time, we drove from Maine to Houston stopping at many an interesting site along the way.

As much fun as travel is, what I really enjoyed about 2013 was the time spent with friends

and family.  It doesn’t matter whether we are in Houston

or Maine

or now in Tennessee, it is always special

and there are so many memories tied to those times when we are together.

I worked on improving my photography skills, especially those having to do with food.  May I tell you there is still work to be done!

I made necklaces galore.  Who would have thought these would take on such a life of their own!

I blogged, posting 121 musings on travel, food, tablescapes and Maine adventure.  In the process, I  met many new online friends who give me the impetus to continue writing. To each of you I am grateful. and I look forward to what we share next.

Except for losing my brother way too soon, 2013 was a very good year.  I regret that it went so fast, but I’m looking forward to what lies ahead.

Here’s to you and what 2014 holds for all of us!
