Decorating for Christmas–inspired original art

December 15, 2024May 28, 2025Anna--The Adventurer 1 Comment

$124.99 with free shipping https://www.ebay.com/itm/226498341381 (ebay link)
An original 9″x12″ framed original oil painting, signed by the arist Anna Potthoff (AP) done in oil paints on a cotton canvas board. The original art is already framed but the frame can be changed by the buyer if so desire. The Christmas tree painting is ready to hang. The purchase also includes free shipping to the USA (but can be shipped world wide for an additional fee).

The painting was inspired by the large Frasier Fir in the front of my parent’s drive way that was just small when they moved in but has grown tremendously and stands tall and proud out in the field by their mail box. I dream of decorating it with large baubles and twinkly lights sets up against the sun setting in the west over the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. There is red paint brush plants and hues of dried grasses all about, which beautifully reflect the sunsets as well.

The painting is one of a kind, unique and would adorn any home or office perfectly–Can be used year around or seasonally as one so desires–an affordable, handmade one of a kind gift for yourself or a loved one. Make me an offer.

The weather outside if frightful and the food bank could use some supplies and stocking up–an Amazon wish list is here!

There are many many items under $2-$3-$4 and $5-making giving super affordable! Each item also ships free if you have Prime and is sent directly to the food pantry!

There are also larger ticket items, like cases of soup that would go a bit further–also free shipping! And don’t forget, can openers (also on the list) help open those great items!

I hope we can help get their shelves stocked for those in need this winter season and afterwards! $5 in food donations can go a long way (several items can be purchased for a combined total of $5!)but you don’t have to stop at $5 if you wish to do more, Happy Shopping and Giving!

Here’s the Amazon wish link!

Dancing the last night–MacCallums and Max’s

October 12, 2024December 4, 2024Anna--The Adventurer Leave a comment

An evening out before heading back to the United States tomorrow–an essential event for me. I knew of MacCallums from travels before and it’s a great local hot spot that isn’t touristy and a true gem tucked in downtown/old town Inverness.

The live music is always awesome–and the barkeeps are always on spot–I walked in and the barkeep noticed I was “frozen” and made me a cup of coffee so I could warm up.

One aspect I enjoy about MacCallums is that it’s not touristy and it’s cozy, if a pub can be described as cozy, hahahaha!

A nice gentlemen, Hugh Frasier, had the band perform Caledonia for me and it started off the night of dancing and fun for me, such a joy and treat! The band played 90 and early 2000s covers–which was a throw back to my younger days (and yes, I am dating myself!) Shaking one’s tail feathers on the last night of a dreamy vacation is always a good way to go.

After leaving the pub, I stopped by Max’s, an essential if you are going to Inverness–it’s a takeaway place that offers amazing food and they are open late. Tonight was the second time I ate there on this trip–first go around I had the Doner Plate and tonight, freshly done fish and chips with extra malted vinegar and salt.

Diocese of Moray atCathedral Ruins Elgin, Scottish Highlands (ELGIN)

October 11, 2024December 4, 2024Anna--The Adventurer Leave a comment

Located within a walking distance from St. Giles square and shopping center, this historical delight is a true treasure to behold! Walking around the perimeter gives attest to its stunning beauty and size but walking within the ruins is breath taking! the stones and chiseling is indescribable–chiseling into one’s eye and mind the craftsmanship and intricacy.

There are effigagies, stone markers, a monk’s scribing area–and while I did my best to stay out of the way, there was also a wedding going on while I was there–and so many handsome men in kilts!

What more of the history? Look here! Diocese of Moray

Prayers and Blooms, Biblical Gardens Along the River, Elgin, Scotland

October 10, 2024December 4, 2024Anna--The Adventurer Leave a comment

A simple walk and I stumbled across a gated community Biblical Garden here in Elgin. It’s blooms, despite being mid-to-late fall are still abundant and fragrant, cascading over the walls and embankments of their containers and garden beds, yet leaving the pathways accessible.

There are stone placquards across the garden,interlaced with statues and carvings. Upon one statue, where the disciples hands are out-stretched, a person has left a blanket/throw for someone in need–an offering!

I am unsure if the gardens are open all year long but it was a wonderful place to reflect, enjoy my coffee, and commune.

My favorite place in Inverness–Old High Church and Cemetery

October 9, 2024December 4, 2024Anna--The Adventurer Leave a comment

Located along River Ness in the old part of the city, Old High Church in Inverness is my most favorite of all the churches, not just in Scotland but likely world wide.

Why?

It enchanted me from the onset. The old masonry work, the chiseled headstones, the history, the smell of the peat wafting from the river below, the lingering scent of history past and present saturating the air–the lush plant life underfoot–it’s intoxicating. While located on the River Ness, Nessie doesn’t swim up river from Loch Ness, so no worries of Nessie snatching you away from the River.

Then, personal happiness occurred here–meeting here for coffee with old friends years ago, making new friends–drinking coffee and writing in my travel journal, meeting other history enthusiast here–showing others the history on a walking tour and so much more. The far retaining wall has hosted many a conversations of sillyness and seriousness for me, all with fond times.
The history isn’t just personal either, it boasts the history of Scotland’s past–resulting deaths, forced by the English, of Jacobite freedom fighters whom were put down forcibly, filling the soil with blood of the extinguishes-internment of loved ones-and surviving centuries of everyday living and community–Old High Church will has stood tall for centuries and will continue on-

Is Old High Church Cemetery haunted, given it’s history? See for yourself and don’t worry, the hauntingly beautiful place stays rested within it’s realm, never leaving it’s safe place along the river Ness.
