In a Spiritual Light

Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland was built in the thirteenth century, the same era in which the Magna Carta was signed, the crusades were in full force, and the inquisition began.

The building has been beautifully restored and every detail, from the floor tiles to the roof arches. Even with several other tourists joining us inside and a construction crew doing restoration work, there was something peaceful about this lovely church.

My Addiction to Austen

I admit it, I am a Jane Austen addict. I have read all of her novels countless times and am forever sighing over their limited number. So when my friend took me to Lyme Park during our visit to the UK, I got a bit giddy. You see, Lyme House is Pemberley...



...at least, it was in the 1995 version of Pride & Prejudice. No Mr. Darcy strolling the grounds, but still it was a lovely house with lovely gardens.
