Sweep my chimney...

When she saw a handsome man, my grandmother used to say, "He can put his shoes under my bed any time!" (Go, grannie, go!)

I'll paraphrase her by saying this chimney sweep can sweep my chimney anytime....oh, if I only had a chimney....

ABC WEDNESDAY--"Y" is for "yesteryear"

"Yesteryear" is nearly upon us, with only one more day left in 2015.

These teddies were undoubtedly much loved by someone long ago.

Did you have a similar one, or other favorite stuffed toy?

Biscotti!

On the way to a friend's house the other day, I browsed through one of Belgrade's open markets and found this lovely young woman and her charming daughter who were selling homemade biscotti.

I bought a pack and they were delicious!  I've sent them a copy of the photo!

Stairway to Heaven....and back.

Ah, beams of light....from above, to be sure, but only from the entrance to this underground passage below one of Belgrade's main streets.  And the escalator isn't working....

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--walk on by

I wonder if the passers-by took time to notice these lovely shadows.

I know I did....

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Invite me in....

I think this man was not actually watching me, but the little dog who lives outside this bistro, who was playing with Bibi.

Or maybe he was watching me.  But no invitation to come in for a mulled wine or coffee...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas to all of you celebrating today.

Loading his sleigh...uh....car....

This fellow reminded me a bit of Santa loading his sleigh with toys for kids....  He's got quite an assortment of  other things.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"X" is for "eXceptionally tall..."

 Cheating a bit on the X this week...

This tall fellow caught my eye the other day....and then when I showed someone the photo, they told me he is Predrag Drobnjak, a former basketball player for the Serbian team Partizan.

 Anyway, he's tall..six feet eleven inches, yes....I looked him up.

Beauty through the window

Had coffee the other day with a friend, and while sitting inside, I caught this lovely young girl crossing the street.

Gotcha!

Mila is now four and a half....and may be following in my footsteps....   Time will tell!

Say 'cheese'!
