| It is a crazy travel sprint until the middle of August - I am making the most of it and trying not to lose my shit. Thank God Zaven is studying in Milan and can help with the house and the animals and Joe is deep in his doctorate - so we both need all the help we can get... I had two events over two weeks in Singapore so I took the time in between to visit Bali. Not because of Eat, Love, Pray - I really really disliked that book. I think it is one of the only books I actually threw away. My Bali experience - I loved the smell of cloves and patchouli and sandlewood I loved the Hindu ceremonies, temples and having flowers in my hair, behind my ears and rice on my forehead I loved practicing yoga on the beach I loved the naughty monkeys and wild waves 11-14 May Bali, Indonesia |
| And then on into Singapore Lots of sunrise photos - doing yoga at sunrise outside - awe it's the best way to start the day |
| I have to pinch myself, we have our events at beautiful, gorgeous venues 6 - 18 May Sentosa Island & Singapore Remembered my dad with a Yarhzeit candle and Kiddish prayer at sunrise |
| A weekend at home. The Vinum in Alba and the vacation house. Hiking and wine tasting. Visiting Dad's tree with Zaven and Baci. Baci who is half dead and sick but he made it 26-29 Serole, Italy |
| It took a village to get me into Russia. HP resources, (money & time) patience and a SECOND US passport (I now have two) Happy I made it in. And out. 23-25 April Moscow, Russia |
| The Fire Pit and Cortile Make Over Before - I am not sure why we didn't do this before. I was trying to relax outside and read a book on that bench about a month ago and was so uncomfortable. I had pillows everywhere and still was miserable. I have been pinning fire pits and our friends have a holiday house in Tahoe and they have adirondacks and a fire pit. The Manley family and Pinterest were my inspiration. Thanks to Joe for having faith in my vision and making it happen. We cleaned up the area - figured out where we wanted it. Dug a hole. Well Joe dug and then we scavenged for rocks which is always fun and voila the lovely after. I am delighted You can see the before here 2 & 3 June 2018 Serole, Italy |
| I was in 3 regions in 4 days. Yikes. I felt like I was one of those cave people who lose track of time. It worked for me. I had no issues in Mexico. And finally got my Oaxacan cheese I have been dreaming about since the last time I was there 20 years ago. Love my colleagues Guadaljara, Mexico 21-25 May 2018 |
