WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Briefly back to Serbia Part II

The other day I posted a photo from Kovilj Monastery in Serbia because I had received a essage from a Serbian composer in the US who is interested in bringing several of the monastery's monks to NYC and Chicago this March to perform, singing medieval chants.

If you want to know more, here is the link.

Pictured at votive candles in the monastery's gift shop.

SKYWATCH--Mount Rainier

Another drive-by shooting over the 520 floating bridge.  I was a passenger, don't worry, otherwise I'd have been in the water.

Briefly back to Serbia....

No, didn't fly back to Serbia, but as you all know, we are all connected in cyberspace.  The other day I received an email from a Serbian composer in NYC, who is trying to bring several monks from the Kovilj Monastery in Serbia to the US to sing their chants in Carnegie Hall.

If you click right here, you can read all about this project and, she hopes, donate something toward their journey.

Please have a look.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"C" is for "child at heart"

I get a big kick out of toy stores.  I go in all the time, and today I was actually accompanied by a child, my grandson, who loves wind-up toys.

I bought him these four here and bought myself the sand mold in the shape of the Taj Mahal...you know I love India.  I don't plan on making sand Taj Mahals, but I think it would do Jello nicely and maybe some puddings.....

Mystery Man

Another drive-by shooting of mine here in Seattle. Not sure what this fellow is made out of or what he's for (perhaps for flowers/vines?)  but he caught my attention,

Nostalgia.... The Patty Melt

I hadn't had a Patty Melt since high school, but indulged the other day at Johnny Rocket's here in Seattle.  I seem to remember that the bread was rye once-upon-a-time and this bread was just whole wheat, but it was good all the same.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--Quack!

Feeding the ducks the other day with my grandson.

SKYWATCH--first view

My first view of Seattle this visit, as seen from the I-5.

Not quite right....?

Hmmm....  "If we don't have it, just ask!"  But if they don't have it, why bother to ask?  I think this sign would have been better if they'd written "If you don't see it, just ask!"  or else add "and we'll see if we can get it."

Picky, picky me.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"B" is for "Beautiful"

These beautiful orchids on my daughter's kitchen windowsill bring a taste of spring to a dreary winter day.

Rain

Raining here in Seattle.  So what's new?
