Q is for Quaint Cottages

I don't know what it is, but there is something so magical about
Quaint Cottages
I've always loved them and it's even better if they're located along the beach.  One day I will have one to call my own.  Until then, I will placate myself with these lovely ones...
I've always loved this cottage.  It's not located along the beach, but it is located at one end of Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, Scotland.  So lovely.

I love this one because it reminds me of a fairy tale.  It's located in Carmel, California and was built in 1924.
This one is beautiful and rustic.  Located in Northern Germany near the Shlei Fiord, it's a lovely little gem.
Love this place.  If I'm not mistaken, this was the home of Kate Winslet's character in The Holiday.
 Hope your Thursday is magical and cozy...just like these cottages.  Happy A-Zing :)

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedb...

Bianca's Vineyard (Book #13)

Image
I've had Teresa Neumann's Bianca's Vineyard for a while now, thanks to my grandmother, but have been skipping over it to read other books.  I don't know why I did this because it was actually a great read.  Neumann is a local author who decided to write a novel about family history.  The majority of the novel is based on factual evidence and personal family interviews.  There is one portion, which I won't give away, that is only speculated at by Neumann, but what she does choose to speculate is a highly probably scenario. The book is written in a way that suggests it is being told to the reader, as well as Egisto's son and his wife, through flashbacks from Bianca in her 80's.  We know this because the font and boldness of these sections gives personal reflection from Bianca and foreshadows what she will eventually reveal.  She takes you back to the beginning of what changed the course for this family, mainly one brother of the Bertozzi family moving to A...
