I See Pink When I Turn Out The Light

Well, well. This is a big week, my friends. Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day. I bet most of y'all didn't even think about the first two holidays. Oh well! Is it really a big week? No. But Lent is one of my favorite traditions I have ever taken part in, so I'm excited. If you're taking part in Lent as well let me know what you're doing for your ... Lent-ing? (it sounds like a good word to me)

In celebration of the more famous, or infamous depending how you look at it, I have collected a bunch of images from my Outside board on Pinterest for . . . TRAVEL TUESDAY! With a Valentine's theme.

Enjoy!

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move. – Robert Louis Stevenson

I'm Addic-... I'm Addicted to Shoes (sing along if you know the tune)

I have a problem. I don't think admitting it is helping me get any closer to solving said problem, however. The last time I counted my shoes the number was astronomical. I hadn't added to my collection in some time, but Texarkana seems to be abounding in opportunities to increase my stock. My secret is buying cheap. I'm not a snob by any means when it comes to shoes. They must be unique though to catch my attention, and unlike anything I already have.

During my trip I have acquired 7 new pairs. I will be making a donation to Salvation Army when I get home.

Oh, and I really apologize for the crappy pictures.
