A Few Words of Explanation

I realized after I posted the last blog entry that my photo of the outside of our cottage doesn’t show up on the mobile device view, so here's that photo—the previous post makes more sense if you see what I’m describing. For others, sorry for the repetition. We love our cottage hideaway so we take lots of pictures, and the scene is always evolving. I've included additional photos here.

Our house is located in a national historic district called Highland, thus, Views from my Highland Cottage. I love this car window sticker depicting Highland that our local Noel United Methodist Church community arts program created with help from a neighborhood artist and children enrolled in the arts program!

Most land in Louisiana is relatively flat and not that far above sea level, but our neighborhood was considered high land located near the city in the early days of Shreveport. Wealthier Shreveporters took advantage of this fact to build summer homes, as well as primary residences, on the higher ground.

Ricky and I have enjoyed a few mini-adventures this summer, building up to our trip to Guatemala at the end of the month. For now, a couple jaunts to Dallas provided good eats and interesting experiences.  More on our forays into Texas later this week.
