{Cooler Weather Time for Wearing my Escada Plaid Suit}

Such a tragic week... It kind of throws you off!

Our thoughts are with the French families that lost their loved ones to yet another ISIS attack.

And still 202 injured are fighting for their lives...

May God bless them and give them the strength needed.

So why not go a bit back in time, to February 20, when the weather was still pleasant here in Georgia.

It feels great when it is not that hot and humid...

We can only dream about that time right now!

Due to my series about husband Pieter's trip to China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, I did not get to post a lot of things.

Another great Escada Outlet find.

Complete with Escada handbag and pumps.
Wolford pantyhose.

Skirt I bought when we were with Pieter's late brother Toon...

Happy times together in October of 2000!

Pieter in his Joseph Abboud suit and silk tie with Zegna shirt, a score from Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in New York.

Of course, our felines are always in the picture!

Sitting next to Pieter is Spooky boy (9) and next to him is our senior boy Barty (12).

We do hope that we will be able to enjoy them for many more years!

Spooky acts more like a doggy... always at our side, like a magnet.

Wishing you a lovely weekend, wherever you are.

Lots of people will be on vacation right now.

{Foster Daughter Anita on the Other Side of the World}

It has been FIFTEEN years now, since we last went to Indonesia for work... And also it has been SEVEN years, since Anita last did stay with us here in Georgia/USA and traveled with us to The Netherlands and to Germany...

Never easy for staying in touch as they are 12 hours ahead of us.

Only 11 hours in summer time...

When Anita is already starting her day, we are still left in the dark...

Even Europe is still asleep!

To the left of the red word Anita you can see Jakarta, Indonesia's capital and she lives near Semarang

We always did fly in to Jakarta and on to Yogyakarta which is on the south coast of Java.

Semarang is on the north coast, as you can see here above...

That's where we are, in Georgia/USA and we're just tiny people on this big world and far apart but oh so close at heart!
Anita always has been a loyal and loving daughter; touching her Mama's heart when needed most.
When I lost my Mom, she was with me through it all in thoughts and prayers—she supported me big time.
From my legal 'step-daughter Liz Vedder' not a single word...

Liz obviously follows a different moral compass.

May God bless Anita, manyfold and I leave all other things into His hands!

Thanks for your visit!

{Our Fragrant Magnolia Grandiflora 'Namnetensis Flore Pleno' Flowers}

As promised in my previous post, here are the flowers of our very special Magnolia Grandiflora 'Namnetensis Flore Pleno', that are also Fragrant!

Flowers are HUGE!

Here is a Bud developing...

You can see our home in the back, through the branches.

They still are blooming right now!

I literally did walk all around our huge tree as flowers are everywhere.

Not always at a level where you can easily reach them with your camera...

Below this post I added the link: {Our Bee Happy Magnolia Restaurant} - that still proves valid.

Snacking on the pollen!

Hope you enjoyed these photos and thank you for your visit.
