Unexpected Gift

Real life Bambi? Just a quick video of something unusual...maybe even something to give us hope when we need it most.

New Shoes

Just as Paolo Nutini says...everything is alright when wearing new shoes!! {great song , sadly the video isn't}

Just look at MY new shoes...aren't they PRETTY??? I just LOVE them.....crocs in celery green, it just doesn't get better than that ~ actually is does but hey I have new shoes.

Prayers Needed......

Say a prayer for a Diana's mom...she is in the hospital and very ill. The power of prayer is an amazing thing and anything that can offer hope has to be a good thing!!

Swimming & New Golf Course

The boys had their school swim gala today and Andrew was one of the swimmers. Christopher could have participated as well but opted not to {no surprises there}. Anyway, Andrew had fun and did quite well. Each event had two heats of 8 swimmers and the top 4 from each swam in the finals. He participated in two relays {finished 2nd and 3rd}, free style {2nd} and backstroke {3rd}.

Across they way they have started construction on a huge project here in the village. It is for the new golf course that is being built. They are also building a 5* hotel as well as executive housing as part of the project. The hotel will be in an established building in another part of the village and the houses are elsewhere too, so we won't be looking at buildings but the golf course instead!!

Summer Flowers

Not much to write about today as we really did nothing of interest. The photo is from our back garden ~ I love the vibrance of the pink!!

New Version of a Classic ~

This is a unique version of Pachebel's Cannon and it is great!!

The Grammy Award Winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet with variations on this baroque classic. From their latest DVD, "LAGQ Live!" Have a listen and tell me what you think...while you are at it sign the guestbook too {don't forget a photo if you have one}

Silhouettes...

This weeks assignment for the photography course is to take silhouette photos. OK, this is really hard! I know what a silhouette is but to actually use it on somthing other than a persons profile was a challenge. Not to mention there has been NO sun here for the past 4 days ~ just dark clouds and rain. Anyway, these are the best photos so far...I have 1 day to see if I can get better ones.
