SAVOR THE DAY
Savoring one of summer days without end the waves not counting the Years morfing ebb and flow into its place in history (ABC Wed -Y) The beach my Dutch sis in law described as “the most beautiful” of the Southern Calif region, when I asked what she enjoyed the most of California. (Not The…
MUSIC in the WEEKEND
Better is one day in his courts than a thousands else where… Love music that lifts the spirit some music I like to be about God which brings rest to the weary soul peace to the distressed resolution to the confused boldness to the fearful, and laughter of hope not a show about themselves, which…

ROUNDING UP MAY
Butterflies seem so happy when they flitter and flutter. Love the Unique saucer:) ABC Wed.- U A thumbs up to WordPress! When last week I saw a cookie banner across my blog, I thought, O no! Expecting they would go the same way as google. But in reading wordpress cookies policy, I can opt…

SEAMLESS

UNEXPECTED VIEWS
Wretched A hutong in Beijing We accidentally stumbled on this third world side of China, when the toilet in our hotel room overflowed. It couldn’t be fixed at sundown. They suggested for us to go to the hutong in the alley to brush our teeth and go to the bathroom ( a community of houses…
THE MIRACLE OF GLASS
Chagall was an artist like Gaudi. Whatever material he used, it was to the fullest of its potential. Chagall stained glass windows in Nice, France was done in 1957. The 5th and 6th day of Creation. Motifs of Paradise. The great Tempter, bottom left, and above-on right the Tree of Knowledge. Chagall wanted an…
