This is a quick post to let you know that I will be on vacation from from July 26th through August 9th.

I will be on vacation from my my personal website, Meeting the Authors, social media, and email during this time, too. If you contact me during this time, please keep this in mind. I have not taken a vacation from social media …. EVER! Well, since I began using it in 2007 or 2008.

With the current situation we will not be traveling anywhere, but I hope to take advantage of this amazing place we call home, to read, read, read, and just take some time to not feel like I need to post something, or feel like I need to engage with others.

There may be a few previously scheduled blog posts that publish during this time (if I get them scheduled before the 26th).

Thank you! – Camilla

**THROWBACK POST**

May 31 2013:

Just back from a beautiful and inspiring walk. I got to walk by 2 yards that have honeysuckle. I floated home on a cloud of intoxicating honeysuckle scent. There’s no telling what I’ll do. If you see me floating by, throw me a smile! Gosh, I LOVE the smell of honeysuckle!! Visions of my childhood flooded my mind and heart! Now … I’m gonna sit and write for a bit. Happy, Beautiful Friday Y’all!

I wouldn’t have an Amazon best selling book if I did … I told y’all I got intoxicated from that yummy honeysuckle smell during my walk earlier.

Team TLC Movie Night: Thomas’s choice – “Avengers – Infinity War”

I say, “If I hadn’t already seen Endgame, I would be so sad! The most intense one yet. One left.”

Early Morning Walk With Glowing Bird Song and Serene Sunset of Roses for Four Years

Posted on July 28, 2020 by Camilla

June 22 2020

Lovely walk early this morning. Much, much bird song and bird chatter to be enjoyed. Wonderful way to begin the day.

June 23 2020

Beautiful walk early this morning. The early morning sunshine has a serene glow. So peaceful.

June 24 2020

It’s turned into a bouquet of roses! Thank you to the beautiful Life of the Party roses. Living up to her name!

June 24 2020

Gorgeous sunset last night. And, Lillian’s first lengthy walk at our new place. Perfect!

June 25 2020

The sky last night was amazing. So gorgeous that I didn’t want to take my eyes off of it.

June 26 2020

Lovely walk yesterday morning. It was wonderful to visit our old neighborhood. Four years of walks taken around this wee lake.

This cutie pie has her first bloom! Yay!!

Vegan Eats: Cocomels With Panang Curry Alongside Maters and Beans

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Camilla

June 22 2020

Another delicious find to share with you … Perfect!

June 23 2020

I made panang curry for myself last night. Took me a while to find a vegan panang curry paste. It’s really good! However, there’s something missing. Doesn’t have any heat to it. Had to buy a package of 6, so I’ve got plenty to experiment with.

June 27 2020

My kind of breakfast. So much satisfying. When I have fresh, good-tasting tomatoes (or maters, as my mammaw called them), I’ll have those instead of fresh fruit. Deeply pleasing.

Movie Night: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

June 26 2020

Extra movie night for me: “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”

Another that’s free to watch for the month of June. A tug of war between fascinating and heartbreaking. Took me down a rabbit hole of researching.

Has anyone read the book? I wonder if it has more details and depth than the movie. The movie felt incomplete.
