Friday late afternoon in early August….

Some work, some play, some time to think away

A photo to post, a Toast to Toast

An Afternoon to reminisce and say ‘Let’s Stay!’

Summer Solstice – June 20th, 2012

Peach Roses from the market in Verona Italy

The longest day of the year…when the fireflies are out…and the roses are blooming and the air is filled with the smell of honeysuckle. Enjoy it and make it a wonderful day for you and your loved ones. Go for a walk, a hike, a bicycle ride (I did this morning)…it’s so nice out and remember to find one thing to be grateful for each day…it’s there for the us… like the air we breathe….just waiting to be noticed. Peace to all…. A

Photographs to Share

As some of you know, I was blessed to go to Europe last month and the end of May. While there I visited Brussels, Belgium and a very good friend of mine for several days, then off to Venice and Verona, Italy. My husband accompanied me on this lovely trip and we both like taking photos, visiting museums, cathedrals and street-side cafe’s. It was wonderful. Another one of my favorite places in Europe are there flower markets…they are gorgeous. So, I will insert a photo of some beautiful peach roses. I hope you like them. And as always, I welcome your comments.

July 8, 2011 – Friday

The last day to a very long week…learning, training and volunteering for a new position in a non-profit art school. There’s so much to learn…exciting…yet, exhausting as you can imagine. Summer Session begins on Monday….and one of my Teacher’s will be departing to Italy for the remainder of the Summer to continue his study of Painting and the art of fresco….I’m very happy for him. He works very hard and deserves a BREAK! I hope life is going smoothly for all of you. I look forward to your comments and what’s been going on this summer? Thanks for listening. Anita

Photography a passion, a hobby – Art

I’ve been taking photographs for years and have recently created quite a collection of ‘photo cards’ from Western North Carolina, Italy, Puerto Rico, Germany, Belgium and the Southeast. To enhance one’s ability to have a sneak preview of some of my collection, I also created a website called NC Trees Photography-i on wix. I will link this to this post and welcome your comments as always.

Back from Europa……

What a trip! Brussels, Venice, Verona and back to Brussels! I’m whipped …. but grateful for the wonderful trip and the opportunity to see so many beautiful places, art, the museums….Peggy Guggenheim, a Marc Chagall exhibit and Ancient Art museum in Brussels. Beautiful cathedrals…excellent cuisine everywhere and of course the perfect Cappucino..hot in Italy and much more tolerable with the temperatures in Brussels. Now…back to the job search….still searching for the right position which would be applicable to my abilities, lifestyle and be able to offer someone an opportunity to grow their business in whatever way possible. I must share a story of having my purse stolen while resting on a park bench in Brussels on Monday. The big thing stolen was my friend’s house keys from this purse…the rest was a small amount of cash .. and a purse which had some sentimental value. After praying to St. Anthony for a period of 12 hours or more….my friend received a call (her telephone number was on a post it note in the bag) at work to say her purse had been found….this was truly miraculous. So…once again…I must trust that the right job will come along and in the mean time….continue to pray for this. Until the next time….Ciao!
