Looking Back!


I have met some great bloggers during this One World One Heart project. Lots of creativity out there! Thanks to all of you who have visited my blog and to those who have become followers. I am a follower of many new blogs as well. This is so much fun!


I went to one blog and it took me to another and then to another (Bejeweled Quilts by Barb). You know how that goes. I ended up at A Little of This and a Little of Pat. One of her posts had you looking back. You are supposed to go into your large computer file of photos and pick the 5th folder, 5th photo and then post it on your blog.

This photo with the chairs on the porch is what I had there at that very spot. The top photo is me sitting on the porch drinking tea one morning. They were both taken in Rhode Island a few years ago. My first trip to New England with my friend Lana (Lanas Threads and Musings) was wonderful!. We were staying in Woonsocket, Rhode Island at the Pillsbury House, a very nice B&B established in 1875, for our first night or so. We stayed in the original maids quarters on the 3rd floor. It was wonderful.
Then we traveled on to many other New England states, sort of doing an authors (Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Alcott etc) tour. We visited many states including Maine, Mass. ,Conn., and more. It was wonderful...ooooh the memories! My friend Lana and I have taken several trips together. Our husbands stay home (they said they have traveled enough in their lives) so it is just she and I. Our last big trip was to Italy...but that's another story! :)
This is a good way to look back
and remember good times.
Why don't you try it.
Post it on your blog
and then let me know that it's up.
Try the 6th folder, 6th photo this time.
Your story will be interesting,
especially to others!
Have fun!

I might just have a peek at that 6th of 6th...but I have SOOOOOO much rubbish in my files! Thanks for your comments at my end!! xx

Pat said...

Thanks for taking part in my "photo fun". I figure we all take lots of photos but we don't look at them often....so this is a fun thing to do periodically. Your New England trip looks like it was wonderful! It seems that a lot of us take "ladies' trips" and the hubbies are perfectly happy to stay home. (That works for ME!!!)

Well Clare you just never know what you will find. Thanks for visiting.

yvonne said...

Pat I'm so glad you visited my blog. The photo fun was fun for sure and it brought back good memories for me. Thanks for that.

Barb said...

Thanks for coming by my blog and also for sharing such a peaceful picture...who doesn't like to sit out on the porch and have their morning start there. Sounds like you and your friend have a fun time traveling!

yvonne said...

Yes Barb we do have a good time traveling. I'm not sure where we will go next. thanks for your comments and for becoming a follower.

I am enjoying this newest blog collaboration but I do not know how to transmit all the badges/messages and stuff to my blog. I am enjoying reading what others have shared but now I have to get back to work.

Your photos of your trip to New England are just great...Seeing that lovely porch reminded me of the porch at my Grandparents in Kentucky and all the wonderful Sunday afternoons spent on that Porch..Of course that was sooooooooo many many years ago but thank you for bringing back that memory with your lovely photos...

Have a great weekend..

Deborah said...

What a great porch! This sounds like a fun exercise. I might try it once I get my photos rounded up from being all over the place.

yvonne said...

Deborah from Gilbert...That picture of me sitting on the porch is a B&B I stayed at in Rhode Island a few years back. It's not my home, I WISH. LOL I had a lovely stay there. Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope y ou come again.

yvonne said...

Hi Flora. glad you stopped by my blog. Fellow Texans have to support each other...LOL Come again sometime okay.

Thanks for visiting Baroness B. Yes porches are something you don't seeas much as years ago. People visited with their neighbors more then. Oh yes, the memories. Come again.

yvonne said...
