Golden Crown, Nazareth Israel

Well, it has been 10 days since I came back from my trip and I am just now getting to the photos.  I have realized in the past half hour that I am not a photographer.  Now, don't misunderstand me, I have taken some amazing photos, BUT not of the things that I can still see in my minds eye.  There is so much I want to show and to share, and sadly I don't have the pictures to do so.  Therefore, I am going to show you a compilation of those that I did take as well as those that were taken by my fellow travelers and some that I had to regretfully copy from the Internet.  I think that the best part of these photos is that there is a story to tell.

This is a view of the hotel from the main road that runs behind it.   This was taken by Brad S.















These are random photos from outside the the hotel back.  You can't see this from the road that the first picture was taken from, but this is where the pool is located.  Since it is 'winter' the pool and courtyard was not open, but those with 3rd floor rooms were able to walk out and take these photos.  Thanks to Lisa M, Brad S and Kurt H for these shots.

I was able to get to the courtyard by going through Lisa's room, these are the photos I took looking out over the valley.  It is all farm land.  If you look closely you will see the road in which the first photo was taken from.



These are all photos I took off the Internet.  The first one is the hall that I walked down to get to my room.  I was on the 5th floor which is also the main floor.  My first impression is that this place looked like a castle; which is rather fitting as all the rooms and halls were given royalty names.  For instance the floor my room was in was called "The Little Prince".  I took a photo of this for my sister as that is the name of her favorite book.
This is the reception counter as soon as you enter the hotel.  Talk about making a great first impression. 

This is a great view of the dinner room.  The meals that we were there for were all buffet style.  The food was AMAZING.  I think I may have shared that a time or two in the previous posts.

And finally, the random shots that always seem to make it into a person's photo book, but really don't tell the story of what it is that was seen.  Enjoy them regardless!

My Kitchen Curtains

Have you ever set out to redecorate a room in your home?  I find this one of the most infuriating things to do as a homeowner.  I swear I have used every color of paint known to man on these walls and still struggle to find that one color that just makes me swoon every time I enter the room. Because of this my walls are a lovely, albeit safe, shade of off white; though I am sure it has some fabulous name like - Barely There, Crushed Seashell, or Not Quite White.  But it comes across as truly B-O-R-I-N-G !  I mean, I have an intense personality and I am NOT afraid of color...heaven's you should see what I wear.  So, how do I take that and transform a room, and not spend a week's or a month's salary doing it?  Here's the dilemma.  I don't know what I like!  I know, right?!  How on Earth do I start when I don't know where to start?  Ok, perhaps I do.  I like red.  I like contemporary/modern, bit not overly geometric.  I like floral, but not itty-bitty prints.

But Would You Still Say Yes?

I've had a busy day.  Run the Littles here and there, flat tire, work from home, spend time with friends, run the Littles here and there again, fix dinner, answer emails - busy.  While waiting for my oldest Little's choir performance to begin I goofed around on my phone, but even that couldn't give my wandering mind rest.  So I silenced my phone and placed it in my purse and pulled out my Bible.  Yes, I carry it everywhere with me.  Yes, I have a phone app, but there is just something altogether more special about turning the pages, feeling the leather binding, holding God's truths in hand.  And I read.  Right where I left off.  Sometimes I think God knows where we are and not just in life, but in all things.  2 Peter 1:5-9: "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to
