Changes that i am looking forward too




i have moved! it is official. i am writing you from my new home.

i like the fall, no i love it- i could not ask for better timing i was going to write a piece about the end of summer since i 'm sure most people will desperately be trying to hold on to it-i can admit to it going faster than usual, but  i have been waiting falls arrival, it's changes and it's new beginings...for far too long now.

for nie nie



For those who have not heard thursday is Auction
Day on behalf of Nie Nie and her family. There will be many
auctions being held around the blogsphere just go to design mom
to find out where.

I strongly encourage you to visit nieniedialogues, to understand
how special this family really is...

My husband and i spent many nights talking about how precious life is...and how nie nie and mr. nielson along with their children live it whole and now they are teaching us the same reminding us not to take anything for granted.

i strongly encourage you to visit her blog and flip through the pages,

then i ask you dear friends to help by spreading the word

sincerely,
nadia

when you forget what it is like to dress up...




it has been a very long while since I put my red shoes
and something ultra feminine(mum's dress)...well among all the boxes, big trucks, dust balls bruises, dirty hands and torn jeans there was a dinner party....a few shots-glimpses of me in the car before i realized i was sitting down...which was the first time in twenty four hours! (gosh is this a vain posting?)

Breakfast at Tiffany's(not), seven eleven and windows













we decided to walk into the city for an outdoor showing of Breakfast at Tiffany's, with a baguette, cheese, grapes and juice in tow. when we got there it turned out to be a showing of "Monty Python the quest for the holy grail"so k. ran to the seven eleven and brought back junk food which was more apropriate !!!then on our way back home we did some window shopping and i happen to have my camera on hand!

Apple tree





When I was young i used to sit in an apple tree in the front of our house. at five i had it all planned, a list of what i was not going to do; smoke, chew gum, swear-and wear makeup ( i think i must have seen badly applied makeup?). I was a swimmer i was either at the pool or riding my bike collecting caterpillars and liberating young frogs from the glass jars that boys in my neighborhood would carry around... and i was fast i would out run anyone. but now many years later some of the don'ts have become occasional do's.

my dreams, they have disappeared some because with hard work have come true and some by chance have been realized...but lately it is dreaming new ones i am having trouble with, have i become jaded as an adult, my dreams are there but they are safe. it is the ones that have me lost in thought, distracted from the everyday, the ones that made me feel like the main character of a goddard movie or like anna karinina...why have i lost the courage to dream those dreams...

i want to find them, that is my goal, my goal is to find my dreams...

a new england walk












it is amazing to me that one walk can have you by the ocean, in the forest,
under grape vines and walking along stone walls...I had myself a lovely weekend!
