{J BAR D Farm in Dublin, Georgia}

On the road to our dear friends, we pass by an impressive gate; that of the J BAR D Farm in Dublin, GA.

On July 31, I did stop to make these photos to share with my readers.

Stepping a bit back...

A view to the left over the vast farm area

And again to the right

Just across the road were hay bales, just harvested.
As well as dramatic clouds on this summer day.
Hope you enjoyed these rural images from our State of Georgia

{Back Home from a Wedding in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France}

Sorry for having been Missing In Action...

But we went to Europe on September 3 and back on September 20 at 1:00 AM.

The main reason for this trip was a Wedding in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.

The daughter of our friends got married with a Frenchman, who studied and lives in the USA.

But it was a delight to be in the South East of France and getting to know his family.

Yes, I've driven this Renault Captur for 4,134 km

Good thing that at BB&L Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, they have no limits for km driven!

Here we arrived at HOSTELLERIE DE L'ABBAYE in Thoronet for the Rehearsal Dinner.

For the romantic occasion, I did wear my silk Escada Rose dress for 'La Vie en Rose'... together with the Escada Pearls choker.

It was very warm, 34ºC so I did tie my silk shawl around my evening bag instead of draping it around my shoulders. 
Absolutely no need for that!

Here I was tying my shawl around the evening bag.

At L'ABBAYE Le Thoronet, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur in France

This is a Google view of where the ancient Abbaye from above is located.

Yes, in the very South East of France...

Driving back, I went via Switzerland and Germany...
Visiting friends and of course before we drove to France, I already visited my Dad and also the rest of the family.

Thanks for stopping by and I will visit you soon again!

{Award Nights at Hyatt Regency in Sarasota, Florida}

On July 29, we arrived from Orlando, Florida at the Hyatt Regency Sarasota where we last were on May 1, 2014. 

Again this was for our Award Nights, now for 2 nights.

The Hyatt Regency in Sarasota is such a dream location!
This photo is from my post, linked below.
We had no time for taking photos this visit...
Instead we met with dear friends!

Like a dream!

Free nights at such a location... WOW!

We earn that with each year's anniversary of the Hyatt Visa Card.

One night per year!

This year we enjoyed a swim in this tropical pool, surrounded by Coconut Palm Trees.

It feels like being in paradise...

View from our room.

Again we had a spacious room with a balcony where we enjoyed a coffee/tea.

Wish we could have stayed for at least a week!

Have you ever been to Sarasota?

Thanks for your visit!
