Signs of Spring

It is flowering Crabapple season here in the Northeast. Actually it’s almost gone by. This and a Bradford Pear tree are two of my most favorite flowering trees. I just love them. The individual buds look so delicate. It also reminds me that summer is right around the corner and with it all the flowers will begin blooming! These photos were taken of crabapples in front of Faneuil Hall, Boston.

Our Word View - Word of the Week = TRADITION

noreply@blogger.com (Liz Thomas) — Sun, 19 May 2013 10:30:00 +0000

SUNDAY POSTING ~ A COLLABORATIVE BLOG BETWEEN TWO FRIENDS (ME AND MY FRIEND BARB) WHO’S PATHS WERE SEPARATED FOR 20+ YEARS AND HAVE FOUND ONE ANOTHER ONCE AGAIN ONLINE. BOTH SHARE A LOVE OF THE OCEAN, NATURE, FAMILY, PETS AND OF COURSE PHOTOGRAPHY! A FONDNESS FOR INSPIRATIONAL SAYINGS HAS SPARKED THIS PROJECT. EACH SUNDAY WE WILL POST THE “WORD OF THE WEEK” AND OUR INDIVIDUAL INTERPRETATION OF THE WORD VIA TWO SEPARATE PHOTOS ON OUR BLOG “OUR WORD VIEW”!

One TRADITION I follow while in the North End of Boston is to partake of the phenomenal pastries. They are unequaled. This sampling is from “Mike’s Pastries” and their famous Cannoli’s!

Old versus New

noreply@blogger.com (Liz Thomas) — Fri, 17 May 2013 09:00:00 +0000

One of the things I absolutely love about Boston is the old surrounded by the new! There are so many examples of buildings from the 1700s, 1800s and some older in the middle of a circle of skyscrapers. It is such juxtaposition. But it only emphasizes the age and beauty of the older buildings.

The Novelty of the North End

noreply@blogger.com (Liz Thomas) — Tue, 14 May 2013 09:00:00 +0000

I really can’t tell you what it is about Boston’s North End that I absolutely love, love, love. Perhaps it’s the most phenomenal, excellent and authentic Italian food you’ll ever have. Could be the over the top pastries from places like “Modern Pastry” or “Mike’s Pastry”. Then there is the charm of the Brownstone buildings that line the street. All in all they make up for one incredibly, stimulating experience.

Boston City Skyline at Dusk

noreply@blogger.com (Liz Thomas) — Mon, 13 May 2013 09:00:00 +0000

This is the view I had from my hotel room while staying in Boston last week. I could see the Zakim Bridge, the Tobin Bridge, Old City Hall and more. It’s always a treat to stay in the City and I was fortunate enough to stay at the Omni Parker House on the top floor. I felt like an absolute queen. I missed my hubby and fortunately he came up to the City Friday night and we stayed until Saturday afternoon. Alas I am now back to reality and life has again returned to normal. No longer a queen I’ll have to settle on the views around Cape Cod, the ocean, beaches and more!

Our Word View - Word of the Week = SPARKLE

This word could not be more appropriate for this week. I have been in the City of Boston for the past three and a half days working. What an opportunity to take some incredible pictures in and around the city. Fortunately the first night I came up the weather was near seventy all evening which was perfect for walking around. I stayed in the Omni Parker House (luv), which is very near Boston Commons, Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the North End. The location could not have been more perfect. At any rate this photo was taken of one of the buildings at Faneuil Hall. What’s wonderful about it is all the trees near the market are lit up with lights. They just SPARKLE at night. This photo is of one of the market buildings taken through the branches of the tree. I just love how the image came out.

Our Word View - Word of the Week = REALITY

noreply@blogger.com (Liz Thomas) — Sun, 05 May 2013 09:00:00 +0000

This is my reality nowadays. My son with his niece Emma. And my daughter with her niece Morgan. My son, daughter, and two granddaughters. Nothing makes me happier than when I am spending time with all of them. I love when we can get the girls together and watch them interact. I hope they grow up to be the best of friends and very attached to one another.

"Morgan that's my Daddy!" "Emma don't worry I won't steal him!"

I am just too darn cute for my own good!

You talking to me?

Aw shucks!

Learning to share!

Old San Juan Puerto Rico a Visual Delight

noreply@blogger.com (Liz Thomas) — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 09:26:00 +0000

If you’ve never been to Old San Juan in Puerto Rico you are in for a visual treat. The rainbow of colors of the houses is fantastic. So bright and cheery everywhere you look. Hubby and I have been there before and I loved it as much then as I do now. The architecture with wrought iron balconies and window boxes is phenomenal. Cobbled streets everywhere and some wonderful doors. It’s such a great town to park, walk, eat and shop. All the American designers have outlets down there. I of course had to purchase a new Pink pocketbook while I was down there.

How Many 87 Year Olds Do This?

noreply@blogger.com (Liz Thomas) — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:30:00 +0000

How many 87 year olds do you seeing doing this? My mother Dot does! I know someone, somewhere is saying why aren’t you helping her? Well my mother refuses to let anyone in her garden! It is her baby. It is what helps to keep her young. Puttering around. Moving plants. It gets her outside in the fresh air and keeps her active. A good ole yankee for sure!

Our Word View - Word of the Week = QUINTESSENTIAL

noreply@blogger.com (Liz Thomas) — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 10:00:00 +0000

I can not begin to tell you how these Whoopie Pies are the most phenomenal dessert you will have ever tried. They have become a specialty of my sister Mary. The recipe was handed down to her from my Aunt Stelle. For years my sister kept the recipe a secret but I was fortunate enough to get a copy from one of my cousins several years ago. However because my sister excels at the recipe and has adapted a couple of her own little twists it has become the "Quintessential" Whoopie Pie! There is nothing better!

Collectables and Knick Knacks
