Illuminated Pots

Illuminated Pots

As you walk around my hometown in Italy, you may notice some tall flower pots near the entrance of several businesses. These tall vases  light up at night and some of them even change colors. I think they are attractive. Linked to: Friday My Town Shoot Out = Town Tour

Honeymoon

Honeymoon

Here are my parents on their honeymoon in Milan, Italy. Of course this statement sounds very fancy read here in the USA. In reality they lived 50km away from Milan, but considering those times and the type of event, it was obviously something very special to them.

Steve Jobs’ Quotes

Steve Jobs’ Quotes

Maybe Trigger thinks he is capturing these pears: he brings them in the house and goes in my bedroom to consume them. … Continue reading

The Wire

The Wire

I sketched this on my iPad the evening I realized that I could not go online because Trigger chewed on my ethernet cable. See? That bad, bad Trigger!!!! Yes, you! And when I tell him how bad he is, its tail wags so fast you can’t even see it…..   Linked to: Pet Pride

I recently came across this article on famous men’s pocket notebooks. My favorite part was the description of Thomas Jefferson’s notebook made up of ivory leaves on which he took notes … Continue reading

Celebrate Mother’s Day: checked!

A very tranquil and relaxing day. Just like I like them! A couple of phone calls to mom and family; a few text messages…and the rest of the day at home doing what I like. Of course the highlight was Stephanie’s gift that I received in the mail few days ago, but I kept sealed … Continue reading

The Tree Year 2

Characters: Caesar, the cat; Nadir, the red cedar tree. See Caesar the cat rushing under the umbrella of Nadir’s branches to take cover from the heat. It is nice to stand under Nadir: the branches are low almost to the ground, holding the fresh piney smell within the natural canopy while providing relief from the sun … Continue reading
