I had a full weekend of photo shoots a few weekends ago. It was long overdue because I had been procrastinating on blog work. During the downtime, my time was spent in good company taking weekend road trips to towns with Civil War and/or Revolutionary War pasts. We even made a trip to Hersheypark amusement park. We were fortunate that day because the weather was not too hot and the humidity was low making having to wear a mask bearable. (more…)
Is it really August? This summer is going by so fast, but I think I say this every summer. 😉 I bet if we go back to last summer’s posts, there is a similar sentence somewhere. (more…)
I just got back from a 4th of July getaway in Pensacola, FL. This was my first adventure since Christmas. I needed a break and some beach time. I had a lot of fun, was in good company, and hope to share this story on the blog one day. (more…)
Lizzy’s Latest Note: This post was supposed to go live on Sunday, but I had ongoing internet issues. Comcast is the WORST! Absolutely unreliable and I plan to cancel my service soon. As such, my Father’s Day post is a bit belated.
Greetings, my faithful friends and followers. I must apologize for my absence, but life got busy (again!). Adding to the delay was a technical issue that briefly took my website offline. I didn’t even realize my website was offline until a few days ago when I tried to update it and couldn’t get in. It was the worst feeling; my heart sank. So much of my heart and soul goes into Lizzy’s Latest. It is a passion of mine because I enjoy sharing heels and history with all of you. 🙂 (more…)
For this heel/outfit combo, I was searching for a location that was serene and unspoiled. Mount Carmel Monastery in Port Tobacco, Maryland came to mind after I remembered a conversation I had with a priest one year. Without going into too much detail, he wanted me to talk to a nun at Mount Carmel about religious life. I had thought about becoming a nun when I was in high school, but that thought dissipated when I started college. I did as he asked and as magnanimous and humbling a cloistered life in a monastery would be for me, it was definitely not something I wanted to pursue. I walked the grounds after my conversation and even sat in the little chapel for a bit noting the beauty of this hidden treasure built in 1790. It was the perfect setting for this chic heel/outfit combo. (more…)
During the early years of the Civil War Sesquicentennial (2011-2015), my dad and I visited many Civil War battlefields and museums for the first time. After visiting the Museum of the Confederacy (MoC) where the White House of the Confederacy is located in Richmond, VA, I fell in love with Southern history and heritage. I was enthralled and engaged, but I wanted more. I had thought about volunteering and my dad even suggested I look into volunteering at the MoC, but it never came to fruition. Yet, the yearning for something more lingered. (more…)
