SHARMA FARMS

I recently visited Sharma Farms, after hearing about it NON STOP for the past three years. Ms. Pam and I tenderly and gingerly walked through the first warehouse door, not quite sure what to expect. Camel Cart bookshelves, oh my. More nooks and crannies! Need a purple chair with lion statues for the arms' These are lovely and I wish I could have gussied up the nerve to buy some to decorate a future garden with. More glass...
Canadian Small Towns - Gananoque
From Correr Es Mi Destino, 3 days ago, Similar articles
Even though I'm very much a city person and can't imagine living in a place with a population of less than 500,000, I'm in love with Canadian small towns. Over the year, we visit quite a lot of small towns, mostly in Ontario but also in the U.S. Some were just a stop on the road to or from somewhere, some were a getaway, but most of them were simply lovely. It's a cliché but the pace of life is different and people are friendlier than in the big cities. It's also refreshing to see fewer...
I want to be just like my mom
From Tales of a Texpatriate, 4 days ago, Similar articles
Today is Mother's Day in the US. I won't go into my feelings on why or why not one day a year is even enough to tell someone like a mother thank you, or why in general days like this drive me nuts because it's so manufactured and false, and that I think if you love someone you should show them that love EVERYDAY, and if you want to send them a gift just SEND IT and don't wait for a retail-sanctioned holiday. Ok, well I kind of did go into my feelings on that, whatever, I'll stop. (gets off...

My Gorgeous Mother's Day Present(c) Amanda van MulligenFor those of you who are mothers living in the Netherlands today was hopefully a day of pampering and cuddles from your little ones, and your partner of course. It's a day to put mum in the spotlight, because let's face it most days aren't..... Mum is usually too busy running around taking care of everyone else to stop and stand in the spotlight!Mother's Day in the Netherlands is always the second Sunday of May and has been since 1925 (if...
Condomat and Curry Wurst
From The Dutched Pinay, 5 days ago, Similar articles
On our way back to the Netherlands from our Berlin-Potsdam short holiday, we stopped by at a tank station along the highway to refuel and eat dinner. Fuel in Germany is cheaper than in the Netherlands. I guess every where else outside the Netherlands, fuel is cheaper.And on my quick stop to the loo, I found this interesting vending machine on the wall:A condomat, selling tampons, vaginal stimulation play gel, condoms of course in different flavours, and a mini vibrator. How straightforward...

Have you ever set out to do something for someone but they ended up blessing you instead'I went to visit someone and took over some fruit from our yard. Â She recognized them immediately and called them "bluggos". Â Her husband explained that they are a cross between a banana and plantain. And he told me that if you have bluggos in your yard you will never go hungry.I left their house that day with all of this:Those little bananas, plantains, the mami fruit, plums, the cashew fruit, and...
Final Push: Marshall, TX to Home Sweet Home Pensacola
From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
AdventureMan looked at the map. We had thought we would stop somewhere in Louisiana today, spend the night, but . . . you get this close, and with just a little effort, we could be home. We could pick up the Qatari Cat. We could have dinner with our son and his wife and our sweet little grandson . . . We smile at each other, and head home. We stop for gas in Jackson, Mississippi, and find a family run BBQ nearby, where lunch is quick, and delicious, and we are back on the road in no time....
Don Jose's, A Bright Spot in Decatur, TX
From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
The morning drive is interesting, as we leave Interstate 40 and cut across Texas headed toward Dallas-Fort Worth. The road is fast, and cuts through cattle ranches, farms, ranches and some deserted towns. By noon, we are more than ready for a stop, and decide to try to find something in Decatur. We don’t want same-old, we want local, and AdventureMan spots Don Jose’s. Lunch was good, and you are just going to have to take my word for it because I forgot to take any photos. Don...
Absolute Favorite, in Mancos, Colorado

Every now and then pure unexpected magic happens, a blessing, pure grace. Every now and then you make a stop and all the right things happen. We had not enjoyed our breakfast the previous morning at the Far View Lodge, so we decided to get on the road early, and find a place to eat on the road. We were up and out by seven, and it took about half an hour just to get off the mesa and down to the main road. Once we hit the main road, we start looking for a good place to stop. We see a sign: ...
