Hello and welcome to this weeks blog hop! We are in a massive heat wave, and it is HOT as hades!!!! Our temperatures have been hovering around 105F/42C. Waaaaaay too hot for me, and it’s supposed to last for another two weeks. It’s hard enough that I’m doing distance learning with my son, now we can’t even go outside! I’m hoping for a reprieve soon.
If you missed what the wonderful Leslie Hachtel had to say, just click and pop back.
This week the incredible Christina Alexandra asks us to go on a vacation through a past photo.
Travel in the Time of Covid: Since the pandemic has cancelled travel plans, we now have to journey through old photos. Pick one photo from past travels and tell us about that day’s adventures.
This is from our honeymoon trip to Italy. We got to see Venice, Florence and Rome. We spent an amazing two weeks there, four days in each spot. It was definitely not enough time.
I really enjoyed Florence and my husband liked Venice. It would be amazing to return one day and spend more time exploring other parts of Italy.
We must have walked up and down so many alleyways and all around the canals of Venice, it was incredible! Of course the gelato was delicious and I ate way too much of it.
We even got to go on a gondola ride. I have a picture of us kissing on the gondola in our honeymoon album and my caption of it was “the driver telling my husband to kiss me like Casanova.”
It was truly an wonderful experience. Both my family and my husband’s family have Italian roots, so it would be fun to go back and spend a month there to immerse ourselves in the culture. I’m hoping that one day we will be able to do just that.
I hope you enjoyed the trip to Venice. Now continue on the hop to see where in the world the amazing A.S. Fenichel takes us. Until next time!

Finishing school failed to make a proper lady of Penelope Arrington. But as a Wallflower of West Lane, Poppy has a far more vital role—she and her three best friends have made a pact to protect each other from the clutches of dangerous, disreputable men. So when one of them is about to be married off to a duke sight unseen, Poppy makes it her mission to divine the prospective husband’s true character. If only she didn’t require the aid of London’s most unsuitable rake.
Rhys Draper, Earl of Marsden, has known the headstrong Poppy since she was a young girl naïve to the ways of men. To her eternal chagrin—and to his vague amusement—they have been at odds over the memory of embarrassing first encounter all these years. Now, with his services in need, Rhys sees a chance to finally clear the air between them. Instead, he is surprised by the heat of their feelings. If the two do not tread carefully, they may end up in a most agreeably compromising position . . .
