{New Hair Style}

Well, here is my New Hair Style!

Quite a bit shorter...

Sunday, September 27... The day after we'd done another Etiquette Class for girls.

When we're outside, our felines always follow us!

Standing now in front of our HUGE Indian Hawthorn.

Husband Pieter standing in front of that HUGE Indian Hawthorn...

For a reason; as it is NO more.

Muscular Pieter did take it out and dug up its roots.

It was growing into the Magnolia Grandiflora Namnetensis Flore Pleno!

Friday, October 24 just before we left for the special Birthday party: 'Strawberry Fields Forever'

Our Magnolia Grandiflora 'Namnetensis Fore Pleno' is visible again.

Yes, cutting back on hair and on shrubs or trees often pays off!

Pieter is wearing a Burberry polo shirt and Alberto Tonal Stripe Five-Pocket jeans in black.
All of my outfits, including shoes are Escada.

{Strawberry Fields Forever}

On August 28, when we went on the sight seeing tour with OnBoard Tours in New York City, the very first stop was at Strawberry Fields in Central Park!

Beautiful black-and-white Mosaic was created by Italian craftsmen and given as a gift by the city of Naples.
Based on a Greco-Roman design, it bears the word of another of Lennon's songs: Imagine. 

It was a warm and sunny day as you can see from the shade.

Here husband Pieter walks to the left of the sign Strawberry Fields...

Both of us were so impressed with the sight, size and cleanliness of Central Park and would have loved to walk there and bike...

Very touching...

Yes John Lennon from The Beatles is being remembered in a beautiful area and his widow, Yoko Ono still lives across from Strawberry Fields in the Dakota apartment.

Our dear Dublin Friend Griffin Lovett turned 64 and instead of celebrating big at age 65; his kids organized a big party at age 64. 

Him being such a Beatle fan, this was perfect!

The Food Buffet was all done according to Beatle song titles...

Lots of work and very well chosen!

Strawberry Fields Forever!

Strawberry Fields Forever

'Strawberry Fields Forever' was originally intended to appear on the band's seminal Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, but was instead released the same year (1967) as a double-A side with Paul McCartney's 'Penny Lane'. Both songs are named after sites in Liverpool and are steeped in childhood and English nostalgia.

It was a lovely evening on Friday, October 24 and the ending of a perfectly sunny day with 29°C or 84°F
Here you see only a section of their back yard with pool and part of the back porch.
They live in a majestic Gone With the Wind style home where they easily can host a a large group of friends inside and outside.

It is pure bliss for living here in the South!
Also we treasure this long friendship of 32+ years...

{Halloween Craze not Eco Friendly}

The POWER people of our World, only 1%, have turned the other 99% into Consumer Slaves. 

With all their propaganda via media commercials etc. they make people work harder and harder for things they don't need!

These Compliant Consumer Slaves are paying taxes to their governments, in the form of Sales Tax etc.

This is me, at Costco where they were/are pushing stacks of merchandise for Halloween...

Indeed, the West is being Controlled and Manipulated to BUY - BUY ever more!

The invention of so many seasonal things for which people are being brain washed to buy, is almost endless...

Halloween is one of them.

How much will end up in the landfill? Not very Eco Friendly!

Don't we think ahead anymore?

What kind of planet will be passed on to future generations... A scary thought!

This is the main reason, aside from the limited personal budget, that we never ever invest in anything like that mass produced 'STUFF'...

How about you?
