TerraOasis

Welcome

What if you could live in your own, private bed & breakfast all the time? You might stay in a charming, little house on a scenic parcel of land. The meals would be prepared with fruits and vegetables from the kitchen garden. And all around you are entertainments, history and culture.

That is where we live every day. It’s not the lifestyle of the rich & famous. There is a lot of work involved. We are, after all, both the patrons and the servers. But of all the places we could have lived, we chose to create a pastoral refuge in the Virginia piedmont country. We named it TerraOasis.

Notebook has changed!

It is still a collection of ideas - with drawings and photos - mostly about improvement projects on the TerraOasis farm and residence. However, Notebook is now hosted on Wordpress.com as a personal blog. The address is:

TerraOasis.WordPress.com (opens in a new window or tab).

The old Notebook is still here too...a kind of notebook archive.

Postcards ››

postcard photo

These once-common cards featured a photo of a famous landmark or tourist destination. They were valued as souvenirs or used to mail a short note. Now they’ve been overtaken by digital media.

But postcards haven’t been entirely relegated to the domain of deltiologists. This is our collection of postcards, bearing descriptions of places we visited, remember with fondness, and share with friends.

MOUNT VERNON - 2011

- George Washington’s Mount Vernon is a very intersting and photogenic place. For this visit, we decided it would be fun to rent bikes and peddle there from Olde Town Alexandria along Mount Vernon Trail.
