{Made with Love in The Eifel, Germany}

It is always a BLESSING for being with those we love!

Especially when they live across the Ocean.

We did visit our 'German Son' and his family.

His dear Father-in-law made us this sweet hanger for a plant.

We visited them in their new home.

Isn't this a very sweet plant hanger, made out of wood?
The pot for the plant is not wood...

Pieter did paint it white and hung it next to our Rose Suite's entrance.

He even found a winter hardy plant for it.

Looking happy already and the blue goes perfect with the Golden Mist colored wall.

THANKS a lot for this special gift dear FAMILY!

The sun was very strong and thus hard to take a good photo.

Even as I type this, it still is 31°C

It sure was a lovely day so far and still!

Wishing you all a happy October week and thanks for your visit.

{Made In Italy Pizzeria in Venice, Florida with Friends}

Hard to believe that September is almost coming to an end...

And the fact is, I'm still digesting our previous trip to Florida where we met with most of our special friends!

Like gettingg together with our virtual friends Jo and Dennis, at the famous Made in Italy Pizzeria in Venice, Florida!

June 29...
Happy together over Pizza, after knowing each other for good seven years.

Yummy Pizza, all made in a Wood Burning Oven!

Very delicious and it did bring back fond memories of our life in Italy...

We also loved the way it was being presented!

After a delicious cappuccino à la Dennis, at their lovely new home, we retreated to the patio with its grand view.

All, including their lovely fur babies Gina and Baci, enjoyed being together!

We wish to head back soon as Friendships are the Best Food for the Soul.

Do you travel long distance to see your friends?

{Tiggy-Tiger in her Favorite Spot}

Whenever we come home from a trip, be it long or short, our felines greet us on the driveway.

For Tiggy-Tiger her Favorite Spot is on top of the retainer wall, alongside the driveway...
Our Fiberglass  Window Boxes alongside the wall are filled with white Verbena Lanai® Blush White from White Flower Farm

She always has remained kitten-like, so tiny...

But she is very fast and fierce.

Sweet too!

Love this girl and miss them all while we're traveling but they do always have a sweet cat-sitter.

While we're traveling, our cat-sitter also waters the Fiberglass Window Boxes from Flower Framers of Cincinnati, so the Verbenas don't perish in the heat.

They have been blooming during the entire summer.

Not easy for keeping them alive in our harsh climate though...

Thanks for visiting!
