Mojo Road Trip 2024 Day 4 June 6, 2024 - FarmVille, VA

Before leaving this morning, we did a short walk for breakfast. And yes, once again, we shared a banana and breakfast burrito. Can you believe I shared Joe’s coffee?! For some reason today, I didn’t feel the need for my own. 

Colonial Williamsburg is beautiful and peaceful. Birds chirping, butterflies flitting about and a soft breeze through the flowers. You can say I am enjoying God’s nature. It is so serene and you see no littering. Everyone is kind and courteous- why can’t it always be this way. Here is one last look at Williamsburg.



Bernadette had a nice shady parking spot and got 2 days of rest for herself. We loaded up and hit the road.

Stopped outside a town named Skinquarter for gas and look what I saw in the bathroom.


Lovely, just lovely.


Thanks to David A., a friend and great fellow from church, we ate at The Press Club in Farmville. Chicken tenders were the special of the day with salads and waffle fries and a cherry ale (yep, we shared and have leftovers).



Our server told us about an Amish store, so we went by and bought bread, fudge, banana bread, sesame sticks. It was interesting to see their products. They even make pollywood outdoor furniture. Joe and I are really eyeballing that outdoor furniture.





Below are pictures of FarmVille courthouse and homes. I love small Southern towns!





We made it to our destination with 5 minutes to spare before storms hit.



Weather is stormy, so we will stay inside. Have early morning tomorrow with 930am tickets to Monticello.

Here’s the best picture I can get of the alpacas now.

Well, my fabulous followers, we are thankful for another day of safe travels. Take care and we will talk tomorrow.

Sorry for misspellings or formatting issues. Doing this on my phone and it’s a little harder.

Blessings!

France 2025 - D Day

 Hello Fabulous Followers!  Joe and I have embarked upon another travel adventure - 40 days!  The first part of our journey lasts 20 days in France, traveling with a group led by our travel agent, Pam. We are on a AmaWaterways river cruise that started in Paris and navigating the Seine River northward. Now, I usually start a blog with the beginning of our journey (and I will catch you up), but I have been led in a different direction after today's experience. Today, we traveled to the beaches of Normandy and the American cemetery at Normandy.  We sang the National Anthem, had a flower bearing ceremony, listened to Taps and had a moment of silence. The veteran gentleman who presented the flowers is a member of our group.  What a touching moment! There are 5 Normandy beaches - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.  The Omaha beach stormed by the Americans was by far the most treacherous to navigate.  These soldiers had to escape the boats or die, and what w...

Mojo Rants and Blunders - France & More 2025

  Hey Fabulous Followers!  Yes, we have been back for 2 weeks, but voices in my head still wants me to write this blog.  These voices and thoughts have been in my head during our trip and they want out, so here goes! WARNING:  Some comments below are honest, true feelings and blunt. I have a few rants about this trip.   1. Europeans have better food, walk, take public transporation, and are mostly smaller than we Americans, but they like to smoke!  If you know me well, I abhor smoke, nicotine, tobacco, vaping, e-cigarettes. Go to a restaurant and the first thing they give you is an ashtray.  No way Jose, take that thing away!! But these people smoke and blow it in your face.  There were a few times, I thought about throat punching a few people. But I didn't, cause I am so sweet, but when I could I blew back in their face. So there! 2. Wash cloths.  Oh my word! While in Nice, Geneva, Brussels and Southampton - this was 10 nights!  No...

  Hey Fabulous Followers! This blog is dedicated to my Aunt Alice whom I called Auntie Mama! After my mom died, I coined the name Auntie Mama.  Aunt Alice looked a lot like my mom and people at times thought I was her daughter. Joe and I decided over a year ago to take this trip that was earned in a casino.  Since I was provided a balcony room for 2, I decided to upgrade to a junior suite with a sunset balcony. This means our room was in the aft or back of the ship.  It is an unbelievable sized balcony where we spent lots of time enjoying our private paradise. I                                                   This get away was about rest, relaxation and just enjoy being with each other.  We had 2 ports of call.  The first was Costa Maya . We took an excursion to the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins which means the " Place of the Red Corn ," ...
