Madame Muriels Final Adventures with me.

Oh my! Madame is not happy with me. I have sadly neglected her and my blog. I have not shared her wonderful fall adventure.

We started with a trip to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. We joined good friends and spent a week at a lovely condo on the golf course.

Here are some shots of Madam enjoying her time. However, she is not impressed when I stick her in a tree but they make the best shots.

Here she is in the palm tree

in the V of a tree

with the Spanish moss

Tanning by the pool

And touring the Hilton Head lighthouse

Then, I took the ever-grumbling granny on a Caribbean cruise. For once the little darling was very happy.

Here she is with our cruise ship - Holland America's MS Westerdam

Relaxing in her king size bed

Cuddling with the towel elephant

the towel crab

the towel monkey

Enjoying two-for-one happy hour on board - Pina Colada

At dinner in the dining room

Here she is in Grand Turk - Turks and Caicos

At the Sunset Bar and Grill in St. Maarten

And hanging at the bar checking out the liquor.

Relaxing at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas.

Her footprints in the sand

Swimming in the turquoise water

She almost complained about that one.

We went from there to Arizona with a stop in Naples, Florida to visit with my SIL Jeannette.

Here she is with Rufus

and Jeannette

My time with Madame Muriel is at an end. I will let you know where she is off to next so that you can follow her continuing adventures.

Miss Muriel has her bags packed

Miss Muriel has her bags packed and is ready to travel. She is very annoyed with me for neglecting her this past few months. I have left her sitting on my stitching trunk while I have been very busy.
You will notice she is not in the photo which she has repeatedly reminded me.
Please comment on this post. I will choose a name on April 1st and send her on her way.
You must have a working blog to enter.

Madame Muriel goes to Niagara on the Lake

I sure have some catching up to do. I have some updates from Madame Muriel.

"Madame Muriel here"

I am a little unhappy with my hostess these days. She brought me to Arizona, popped me on her stitching trunk and there I have stayed. Grant it the weather is beautiful and sunny and I have a great view of her life, but really! Either spend time with me or send me on!

Since my hostess has been so neglectful, I have decided to fill you in on my trip to Niagara on the Lake in late September. What a beautiful little town!

Miss Kathy and two of her friends took me on a tour of this lovely old town. Niagara on the Lake is the home of the painter Trisha Romance (an American born Canadian) who paints the most wonderful paintings using the town as its back drop.
As we walked the streets we were greeted by a couple of local tour guides. They were delighted to have their photo taken with me.

Walking along the street we saw The Owl and The Pussycat - the oldest building in town and featured in Ms Romance's painting.

We also saw the Prince of Wales Hotel and the courthouse - featured in Ms. Romance's paintings too!

Our next stop was the Trisha Romance Gallery. Oh my! What a gorgeous Victorian home and the paintings were remarkable.
Here I am in front of the Gallery

and on the newel post

We hopped in the car and drove a short distance out of town to Ms. Romance beautiful home..

Here I am in front of the house

and on the fence. Can you see me? Sometimes I feel like "Where's Waldo" lol.

It was a lovely afternoon and a wonderful visit to a gorgeous Victorian town. I can see where Trisha Romance got her inspiration.

My next post will be about the trip to Hilton Head, SC and the wonderful cruise that my hostess took me on.

Until then, may you find joy in your stitches.
