It is Wednesday. Wednesdays are smack dab in the middle of the week and, for those of you who are not familiar with the popular term that has been coined over the years, it is "Hump Day!" Ok, enough with the silliness. I just could not resist. (Get on with it already, Laura) Fair enough. Here… Continue reading Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
Happy Tuesday friends and welcome to This Darling Adventure. Today we have the opportunity to talk about one of my favorite cities in the world: ROME!

Today, we have blue skies and sunshine!

We finally have Manitoba winter weather and life is good! A year ago today, we were in… Continue reading Blue Skies & Butterflies
I have recently discovered the wonder and excitement of snowflakes. This may sound a bit silly, but growing up in southern California, snow was not really a thing. Sure, we could pack up the car and drive to the mountains where my family and I would make snowmen and sled down random hills. But snow… Continue reading Snowflakes
When I look at this photograph I cannot help but laugh. What may appear to be a carefully orchestrated moment (a moment in which Andy and I waited patiently for an ibex to meander its way across the foreground of our setting so we could snap a few photos) actually was in fact an accident. We had just finished hiking through the… Continue reading Expecting the Unexpected

A friend merely informed me that they were short on volunteers for an annual trip they did out to the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. I asked her to sign me up.

Then you walk some more and there's the Colosseum. These ruins are not just old, they are ancient. Yet what is incredible is that… Continue reading Ancient Ruins
Haifa. What a place. Haifa is in the north western part of Israel, smack dab across the border from Lebanon and right along the Mediterranean Sea. It is a bustling city with old buildings and new innovations. And there are hills. Lots of hills. LOTS AND LOTS of hills. Did I mention the hills? Anyhoo, Andy… Continue reading Haifa
