This photo was taken at the English Teapot Cafe in Agios Georgious village in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus. I love the way it turned out–not so much for its photographic composition or execution, rather for its meaning and memory.
Flower Boxes
Here in the mountains of Cyprus we haven’t had the heat on for almost a week. The days have been sunny and warm–the kind that allure you outside for a long walk. It has been really wonderful. Spring is getting closer, and I am beginning to think about the signs of the season. Of course,…

Favorite Things
I was just a little girl when I first heard Julie Andrews sing, “Favorite Things” in the musical, “The Sound of Music.” I thought I had died and gone to heaven when her lilting soprano voice rang out these words: “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens; bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens… ”…

Jiggling Bellies
My hubby and I love this man. He is one of our favorite people in the world to hang out with! We value our time with him, and we can never seem to get enough. Recently, we enjoyed a good laugh with him… Now I can’t remember for the life of me what tickled our…
‘I Don’t Believe in God, but I Miss Him…’
