Weekend Traffic Jam - Week 161

Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!
My posts for the link up will go live on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EDT or, if you live in the future like I do, on Fridays at 3:30 a.m. CE(S)T.


Sometimes you have to look really close to see something.
My friend and I like this spot which I mentioned a few days ago, the spring of a small river in our area.
It's lovely to rest there for a while, especially early at morning when no one else is there.


Can you see something in the rock wall?
Here you go. Sorry, the pictures are not good because of the zooming in.
We have no idea if that's supposed to be a little castle or church or who put it there and how, but isn't that a cute surprise?


Are you ready for the weekend?

As part of the reboot, we will be featuring a different blog every week.
How about stopping by and saying hello? Let them know we sent you.


This week our spotlight is on Shoreline Journeys Travel.




Jennifer from Shoreline Journeys Travel says: "My family is my strength and supports me on my travel journeys. I met the love of my life & best friend in 1993, we graduated college together, started our grown-up jobs, and were married in 1997. We traveled to Jamaica for our honeymoon and stayed at the Sandals Royal Jamaican (now the Sandals Royal Caribbean) and it started our journey together. I help couples plan romantic escapes to Sandals Resorts for honeymoons, destination weddings, and vow renewals, while also designing amazing family getaways to Beaches Resorts."


Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!

Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household - The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!

Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.

Cat from
 Cat's Wire has what she calls a jumping spider brain. She has many interests and will blog about whatever catches her attention - crafts, books, old movies, collectibles or random things.

Rena from Fine Whatever Blog writes about style, midlife, and the "fine whatever" moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she's been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.


Here are some of my picks from last week's link up.


Lydia is talking about bringing courtesy back.

Aletha is sharing some Hawaii memories.

Nicole has three owlets in her cherry tree. I'm jealous!

Donna is making popeye pancakes (also called Dutch babies or German pancakes ... and yes, I'm confused because I have never heard of those being made here).


Barbara tells us about a day trip to the Douro Valley.

Pat witnessed the birth of two mule deer fawns in her garden.


Let's link up!

  1. What a beautiful spot to just sit and be at peace! But, I wonder who did put that there and why. I suppose maybe it was just to create a little more beauty!

    1. The nice thins is that you don't see it at first sight. My friend first spotted "something" and to see what it was was so sweet.

  5. What a beautiful and peaceful looking spot. Love the castle in the wall; it's always such a fun surprise to discover something like that and wonder who left it and why. :)

    1. Thank you, Linda. I gather later when the restaurant in the big old house next to it and everyone sits outside, it's not as tranquil anymore, but in the morning it's the best.

    1. The spring isn't very big, but long in front of a high rock wall and you have to go down some steps, so you never manage to get everything in one picture which is a pity. And you can't get to the little castle because you would have to go through the spring. I really wish I could take some good pictures of everything to capture the mood.
      You're welcome!

  8. That little building in the rock wall is so cool! I don't know if I would have seen that in there if you hadn't pointed it out.

    Those pancakes look delicious! I think I might try to make them at some point.

    1. I doubt it. It's even hard to see in person. It just makes you wonder what that bit of white is until you use a zoom!
      Yes, I have thought about it, too. I'm terrible impatient at baking pancakes in the pan, so this might be something for me.
