Signs of the times

Can't escape Coca-Cola, however you may feel about that. Nine teaspoons of sugar in a small bottle/can of Coke.

I'll take my sugar in the form of one Turkish Delight, or maybe two....to go with my Turkish coffee I drank in Sarajevo on a recent trip.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"X" is for "Danger"

The skull and crossbones on this sign by the side of the road in Prozor, Bosnia/Herzegovina, warns not to walk in that area, due to the possibility of mines.....  The area of course was swept following the 1990s wars, but who wants to take the risk?

See other Xs on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

Counting sheep....or "The Grass is Always Greener"...

If you're trying to count sheep, keep a look-out for the ones hopping the fence....to where the grass is always greener.

These were spotted in Bosnia, near Prozor Rama, where I visited recently.

MONDAY MURALS--just appeared....

Like the proverbial mushroom, this mural just appeared overnight in the little park downstairs.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--Standing tall

Standing tall indeed, at Rama Lake in Bosnia.  My son and I.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--through a church window

On a recent trip to Bosnia, I took this photo through a small chapel's window.

SKYWATCH--chillin' in 35 degrees Celsius

Photo of my son at Prozor Rama Lake, Bosnia, where it was 35 degrees Celsius.  Hot, hot.

My presents

My granddaughter, Mila, returned from her week-long excursion with her pre-school group. She had promised to bring me a rock, and I also got a magnet and a candy watch......

Bless her.  :)

On vacation

Not me, though I've just returned from a short one and will be off again when family from the US comes over.

This image was sent to my son by his daughter's daycare teacher, who is positively super. Here in Serbia, socialized day cares offer low-cost excursions of several days or, in this case, a week to their little pupils.  My almost-six-year-old grand-daughter, Mila, is now at Sokobanja (SO-KO-bahn-ya), a spa about four hours from Belgrade. It's a popular place; click on that link.  Lots for all ages to do: nature walks, water fun in pools and out, sports, etc. all while breathing in fresh air.

Here's a shout out to Mila's teacher, who has gone the extra mile by really keeping parents posted, and also by taking kids on her on volition to a nearby amusement park.

I wish I were six again....
