The Real de Chapala Hotel in Ajijic Mexico provides a blend of old world Mexican charm and exceptional service. The hotel sits in the middle of a residential street which is lined with flowering Jacaranda trees. You wouldn’t know the hotel was located in the midst of the gorgeous houses unless you stumbled upon the […]
It has been ONE YEAR ( April 10th is the anniversary) since the creation of Chasing the Next Chapter. So much has happened since the first post. Some things I blog about, some things I don’t. If you have followed along, you know this blog came about from the death of my youngest son, J.W. […]
I could blame it on the Swiss…but I won’t. I love Switzerland! Everything about it makes me happy…the people, the food, the weather, the picture perfect mountains. It is a beautiful country and I was happy to call it home at one point in my life. The Swiss are known for their efficiency. Now, that’s […]
I’ll be very honest with you. I’m borrowing from myself…again. It works, especially if you are crazy busy which I am right now. Not complaining. This is a tale about R and B’s excellent adventure. I hope you enjoy it. My hubby works for one of the kindest, most generous individuals you could ever meet. […]
It is no surprise that France is one of our favorite countries and Nice is one of our favorite cities. For years I had a business and blog called The French Elements. My boys loved France and much time was spent there when they were young. When hubby and I married, we visited France on […]
Yesterday I finished a piece on the Prince’s Garden and Casa del Labrador in Aranjuez Spain. While I can’t share that with you right now, I can share a restaurant that I recommended called El Rana Verde. The Green Frog. We spotted this restaurant in 2015 as we meandered around the city. While in Aranjuez […]
Damasquinado (Toledo Craft) can be found in many shops in Toledo Spain. While in Toledo, we were “pulled” (seduced) into a workshop where the ancient craft of Damascene is practised. We literally had just checked into our hotel, dropped our bags in the room and headed out to grab a bite to eat. We walked a […]
It really is wonderful to have an ‘old blog’ to borrow from. A few days ago, hubby and I visited our neighborhood French restaurant. While there, I remembered that I did a post about it years ago…2009 to be exact. I revisited my previous blog to read that post. It’s like visiting an old friend. But […]
Today is a special day…a very special day as it is my son’s 34th birthday. It is his second birthday in Heaven. If you have read previous posts here or followed my old blog, you know the Doctors didn’t think he would live to see 30. But he did. He really showed all of us […]
One of the nicest things about having an “old” blog is the fact that I can borrow from it and that is what I am doing today. This was a post done in 2009 but the sentiment applies today. I know for a fact that I appreciate everything more than I did 7 years ago. […]
