I dream of living near Monticello - in the footsteps of this green, magical mountain…

Uber-geeky holiday wish list

Susan — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:12:07 +0000

I was recently asked about my holiday wish list. My mature, responsible self tried to respond with pleas for world peace and an end to poverty. My selfish, all-about-me self responded with this:

I like themes – this year it’s all very Jeffersonian:

Book:
Thomas Jefferson’s Scrapbooks: Poems of Nation, Family and Romantic Love Collected by America’s Third President (Hardcover)

Vacation:
A 2 night stay at this bed & breakfast which was designed by Thomas Jefferson, along with dinner and a wine-tasting at the vineyard:

Weekend Seminar:
Full tuition for The University of Virginia Travel & Learn series: Jefferson Weekend Seminar – THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION IN AMERICA

Wine:
A 1 year subscription to the Virginia Wine of the Month club

Gadget:
Amazon Kindle – so I can read my favorite Jeffersonian books wherever I go

What’s on your list?

cVille Community Garden

When I stay at the English Inn in cVille, I often meander around the community gardens next door…

There is a secret (and magic) garden behind every gate.

Inspired.

I took a week off from RL and escaped to one of my favorite places. The house that I stayed in inspired me beyond words – to the point where I left with more clarity than ever on how I want to live my life.
