Time for a holiday perhaps?

Suzan says - I'm going to book us a vacation John
John says - Well I don't know about that - there's going to be a ton of things to do in the new place
Suzan says - I'm going to expire if I don't get one week of ocean and sand...................
John says - Here we go with the dramatics, Miss Scarlett.
John says - Where will we go?

So I made a list -

Safari in Kenya?  ( I'm too terrified )
that a Lion and I just may coincide

source
(Unless of course he looked like this
and then I'd most likely just give him a kiss)

source
Egypt I'm sorry but I don't have the room
to be cursed by a mummy in some ancient tomb

source
Though I think I'd probably fall on my butt
If I actually ran into good ol' King Tut
( how'd he get so funky? )

source
A cruise might be nice ( and all it entails )
but I'm scared of John pushing me over the rails

source
I'm not a great swimmer - and would probably drown
( unless Kurt Russell were hanging around )

source


The Orient Express - a week on a train ?
( but there once was a murder - don't need one again )

source
The Rain Forest might be something to see
but a case of malaria just isn't for me

source
Kilamanjaro?  Am I up to the climb?
It'd take me 6 months and I haven't the time

source
Although it looks gorgeous - it'd be a tough sell
I've seen the movie ( it doesn't end well )

source
 A week in the wild - Alaska you say?
Where bears run freely? No how - no way

source
If they were unlucky in finding a fish
would they simply catch me ( and make me a dish ? )



I've always wanted to visit Hong Kong
but that's a vacation that'd take way too long

source
and John just might leave me for some Suzie Wong

source

Bali - Figi ? Oh they'd be worth trying
but that'd cost as much as the home that we're buying


BALI
FIJI
Acapulo'd be nice - at that time of year
'cept they're killing Canadians ( you can read it all here )


I think it was safer back in the day
When Elvis and Friends would go there to play


A junket to Vegas might be kinda fun
( but only in fact if we actually won )

source
With my luck I'd pick the very worst slot
and lose everything ( the house we just bought? )

source
John says - one of these days dear - right to the moon
but that's NOT a trip I'm planning on soon

I AM booking a vacation - just as soon as I find a Suzan friendly spot on this planet!!!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone
Much love,

I WANNA live there Wednesday # 61

So sorry this is going up Thursday - I completely forgot yesterday lol -
I'm completely discombobulated ( have no idea how to spell that - but isn't it just a fabulous word LOL ? )
I thought Monday and Tuesday were Sunday and Monday -and then yesterday ( Wednesday ) I thought it
was Thursday - God knows what day it really is today - let's just call it Wednesday though - for the sake of the blog lol....................

I thought I'd show a couple of Farmhouses this week - which I've always loved.
That love probably started here ( kudos is you remember this show )

Ok this first farmhouse up is in Vermont -
Woodstock actually!
4,950,000
5 beds - 4 baths
88.8 acres
Realtor RUTH SUDDUTH

Uphill Farm is an impeccably renovated, turnkey Gentleman's Farm on 88.8 acres of stunning countryside. A classic Vermont property, it includes an impeccably renovated five bedroom, c1805 main residence, barns, outdoor riding arena, two ponds, all convenient to the village of Woodstock. Also available is the adjacent Down the Hill farm with 4 bedroom guest house, barn, and pond on 15.3 acres.

Beware - Beauty Overload!!!  Farmhouse Perfection really :)  I think Eva Gabor would have even approved of this one - This is not called UPHILL farm for nothing!



GOOD GRIEF - I THINK THIS IS THE GUEST HOUSE!!!!!!











But until I won the lottery I would be perfectly happy with this little one!

Lake Champlain - Vermont
275,000
3 beds - 1 bath
Built in 1890
Aprox 8 acres
Realtor ANDREA CHAMPAGNE

Not a lot of images - but even just the outside is gorgeous!








This next photo should be a painting I think


as a sketch?

Have a great Wednesday - Thursday everyone :)
