C - Cosmos , Cupcakes and the Côte d'Azur...

-
Today's letter is C.. which is a pretty good letter for me..
 some of my favorite things start with the letter C...
such as COCKTAILS... oh yes.. I love a good COSMOPOLITAN
And Cupcakes... I am a sucker for cupcakes... I HATE making dinner.. but ask me to bake? 
 and I am there..  
CHURCHES...
I love taking pictures of churches around EUROPE.  I always have a CAMERA on hand..
& yes... I am the type of person who will pull over on the side of the road to take a picture of something if it catches my eye...
I was born in COLUMBUS, OH..
and now for the travel bit for the letter C...
I love the French Rivera...
 I was able to back pack there several times as a college student.. but it isn't really the same when you have no money & are living in a hostel.. :-)
I was back two years ago, for work and it was FABULOUS...
I was over checking out all of the new spring makeup /fragrances from houses such as DIOR..CHANEL
Don't even ask about the GOODY bags for our trip home.. sigh... good times..
the nice thing about going on these trips is the party's and the schmoozing...
sometimes I need to pinch myself.. and then pretend like I really belong there. LOL

Its a rough life.. but someone has to do it.  :-)

Some of my most favourite things: cupcakes, churches and Côte d'Azur! (Not necessarily in that order!)

Are the girls yours? Giant cupcakes! Something to think about for me. My daughter Elisabet will be eight years old on May 12th. I should start planning her birthday party.

Best wishes,
Anna

Wow, this post is made of things that I love too :) I've never been to that place before but it looks beautiful! Did you make the cupcakes in the photo? I love baking too.

I replied to your lovely comment back on my blog, but yes, it would be lovely to have coffee :)

I definitely have to add coffee to the C list. A large portion of my photos from my trip to Europe in 1981 is of churches and cathedrals. All these years later, I love that these beautiful works of art are still standing strong.

Stopping by on the A to Z Challenge from Debbie & Harry's Kitchen.

I will pull over and take a picture too! And we have some amazing churches in downtown Charleston but they are photographed to death so I haven't really taken many pictures of them. And I've never said no to a cupcake. LOL

Funny thing is I am eating a cupcake while reading your blog. It's chocolate with a mint creamcheese topping :) i really like the idea of posting holiday pictures for the letters and I am really craving a Cosmo now. I have been to Norway, it is so beautiful there, I would love to live there for a while!

Just visiting from Eventyrhus. Love your church picture. I too love to pull over and take pictures of churches. Had my husband go 30 minutes out of the way to get a picture of the Cathedral of the Plains! Worth every mile!

I love to bake, too. Cupcakes. Candy. Cookies...

Your trip sounds terribly rough. So sorry you had to suffer through that experience. *wink* *wink*

That drink looks so yummy; I have had a few i must admit.
I am reminded the more I visit your blog that my husband and I really need to get ourselves to Europe, we are missing some lovely places to visit!

Hi there,
Just noted your comment over at Delores' site and thought I'd check out how you are doing with that challenge that brings further awareness of the alphabet. You certainly didn't disappoint with your take on "C" :)
Out of curiosity, is the public transport system in Columbus called the Columbus Bus?
Have fun and happy writing. With respect, the alleged 'anti-A to Z spokesman, Gary

I'm the opposite - I can cook well but I can't bake at all. Love your theme and reading about your travels. Great photos as well.

I love your C's! Especially the Côte d'Azur! I'm am lucky enough to only live two hours away but the geography of where I live couldn't be more different, so I love driving down that way and seeing the Med and the palm trees and feeling like I've gone on some fabulous holiday! :)

Definitely with you on the cupcakes (although I prefer someone else bake mine - I'm the opposite, love to cook rubbish at baking!) and the cocktails, make mine a bloody mary!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long
