In 2023, I kinda-sorta launched my pottery business. In reality, I just started selling what I was making in class at the Gulfport Arts Center upstairs in the artists gallery. I had to apply and be juried, just like any other artist, but that is how my pottery hobby spent the better part of the … Continue reading Devine Perks Pottery
I have to admit that waking up from a post 38 hours of traveling slumber is one of the greatest feelings in the world. I have always been a fairly light sleeper and over the past few years, I have grown into the habit of waking up during the night, occasionally multiple times. Peeling my … Continue reading Italy 2019: Day Two
Have you ever had one of those days where everything is going fine, and then all of a sudden, one small thing happens and everything starts to unravel? Well, today was one of those days. Over the past few weeks of working in Mississippi, I've been told a few times (at both jobs) that my … Continue reading The Sunshine Girl is Out of Order
I think Mom, Dad and I are all in agreement that we are just about ready to go home. After walking around Dublin most of the day yesterday, and everything else we've done in the past two weeks, we are worn out. Dad hasn't been feeling well for about four days, and yesterday I started … Continue reading Day Sixteen: Ireland 2018
In Dublin's fair city, there is so much to do! I can't say that I first met sweet Molly Malone, or really anyone else for that matter, but I had plenty of time walking around town to see a whole heck of a lot in this bustling cultural town. Our Airbnb for our stay in … Continue reading Day Fifteen: Ireland 2018
Another Travel Day! Yey! But in all honesty, I feel bad for mom because she has had to do all the driving (stupid rule about having to be 25 years old to rent a car, or else the price basically doubles). However, today ended up being mostly uneventful because when we got to our destination … Continue reading Day Fourteen: Ireland 2018
Today was a fantastic day! Just let me preface this by saying that when you get to go on a trip that brings your childhood to life, it is just simply earth shattering in such a wonderful way. Our whole (well main reason) for coming to Bushmills, UK, was for Dad and I to be … Continue reading Day Thirteen: Ireland 2018
Today is another one of those "Driving Days" you might have on holiday. Where you spend more time sitting in the car traveling than you do being out and about exploring. Nevertheless, we knew we had a few highly recommended places along the drive, so we weren't too worried. First stop along the way was … Continue reading Day Twelve: Ireland 2018
As I mentioned in my previous blog post, Saturday's plan was to get up early enough in the morning to make it over to Connemara National Park in time for the Pony Walking Tour that was taking place at 11:00. After that, we hoped to explore some other areas of the park, then spend the … Continue reading Day Eleven: Ireland 2018
Last Day with The Band Today is our last full day traveling with Father Son and Friends on their 2018 Road Agents Tour of Ireland. For this, we are spending a special day at Bunratty Castle, touring the grounds, checking in to our nearby hotel, and then returning in the evening for a Medieval Banquet … Continue reading Day Nine: Ireland 2018
