I read this book when I was in high school (many years ago!) and I could always see the house from Route 23 when we would go to Columbus. This is not the actual house in the book (it is located in Massachusetts). This one is located in Circleville, OH. As you can see, it has long passed it's prime! Too bad!
By D’land Diva Oh, if there is any park at Walt Disney World that I could spend one day in, it would be the Magic Kingdom. The Magic Kingdom is in fact the most magical of all the parks, in my opinion. There is much to do, much to see and honestly, not enough time […]
The day I planned for myself did not turn out to be a reality. For some reason I pulled one weed after I took Webster for his morning walk and I honestly haven't stopped since. I am drenched to the skin and I'm going right back out there to commune with the crabgrass after I drink a pitcher of ice water and rest for a tiny bit. I have moved mountains and it's looking so much better which makes me very happy. I hope to have the front presentable by Monday. Why is it that some days you can just do things that you couldn't the day before? The spirit has to move me or I am a very unhappy camper. It has to be MY idea too. Wish me luck. My place will never be like the mansion pictured above. I'm sure those people have a staff of gardeners and grounds keepers. I am a staff of one. Have a great weekend. Found on Google Images

Seven days in Paris…glorious! And even better…sharing my favorite place with one of my favorite little guys...my ten-year-old grandson! I knew I had to come up with a plan that allowed us to fit in everything that I wanted him to see. Sooo…I decided to concentrate on a certain arrondisement or part of Paris or a certain theme each day. I hope you will come along as I introduce my grandson to the City of Lights! Our plane arrived early in the morning and, since our hotel was just around the corner, we left our bags there and set off to explore the Eiffel Tower and the park at its feet! I had given my grandson a new camera so that he could record his own version of the trip through his photos and he started snapping away immediately! We had tickets to go up at 1:00 pm…and thus avoid the long ticket line…so we had the morning to ourselves and Monsieur Eiffel! (Click here for information about buying tickets online.) As you can see, the pigeons of Paris were also the subject of many of his photos, too! It was nice to just sit in park at the Champ de Mars and relax after our long flight! Here, I must say that my grandson is a wonderful traveling buddy and quite the little trooper…no complaints the entire trip! We headed off to a nearby sidewalk café to have lunch before we went up into the tower. He had a hot dog with a conspicuously missing bun and some real French fries! He says their hot dogs are better than ours! Not to be outdone, I had some real French onion soup! lol The weather was very pleasant…highs in the mid 70s and lows in the mid 50s, so soup just filled the bill! Love that soup bowl! Afterwards…back to the Eiffel Tower! It’s our turn to go up! I am always surprised each time I see it at just how big it is! A short wait and a quick elevator ride and we make it to the second floor! However, everyone must stand in the same line for the elevator to the third floor. We entertained ourselves taking some photos from unusual angles! See the little pyramids along the ironwork? Those are the lights! I was interested to learn from the children’s pages on their website that they were installed by a team of 24 mountain climbers! Interesting! The view of Paris is simply breath-taking! We had been under cloudy skies, but the sun came out just in time to allow us to take some great photos! This is the Champ de Mars…the park where we had spent the morning. Notice the way they trim their trees into a box shape! That’s the Ecole Militaire at the other end of the park…a military school whose most famous graduate is Napoleon Bonaparte! From the other side of the tower, there is a lovely view across the Seine River of the Trocadéro, which houses several museums and offers a great place to take photos of the tower. Also an interesting sight is the Ile aux Cygnes…Isle of the Swans…a man-made island with a small Statue of Liberty at its tip. The statue was given to Paris by Parisians living in the United States to mark the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. You can just make it out at tip in the distance. My grandson counted the Eiffel Tower among his favorites…naturally! Afterwards, we stop for ice cream in the park before heading to our hotel to get some rest! I have a fun day planned for tomorrow! Missed any Paris posts? Back from Paris…or My Grandson’s Favorites! Listing the must-see spots for a ten year old boy! My Favorite Street in Paris…Rue Cler Great little street to use as your headquarters In case you want to follow along, here is my plan for visiting Paris in seven days! I am linking each of the seven days as I complete the posts. Day One…All about Eiffel! Eiffel Tower/ Champ de Mars park and play area Day Two…Sightseeing by Subway! Arc de Triomphe/ Montmarte/ Sacré-Coeur Day Three…Monsieur Monet, I Presume (and a lot of Louis)! Giverny/ Versailles minibus tour Day Four…The Cradle of Paris! La Sainte Chapelle/ la Conciergerie/ Notre Dame/ Latin Quarter/ the book stalls/ ice cream on Ile St. Louis/ the bâteau mouche on the Seine Day Five…Art Museum Madness…Plus Play in the Park! Louvre/ Tuileries Garden/ l’Orangerie/ Musée d’Orsay Day Six…A Phantom, a Fountain and Some History! Opéra Garnier/ Pompidou Center/ Carnavalet Museum Day Seven…A Tomb, a Tank and a Tower! Napoleon’s Tomb and the Musée de l’Armée at les Invalides/ Eiffel Tower at night Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time! A la prochaine!

Roosevelt Island is a pleasant escape from the hustle and bustle of Midtown Manhattan. You take the Roosevelt Island Tram (made famous in a Spiderman movie) and find yourself on a residential island in the middle of the East River. There are plenty of things to do on Roosevelt Island such as visit the Four Freedoms Park, the Roosevelt Island Lighthouse and the Octagon Roosevelt Island, all that remains of the former Roosevelt asylum.
