Taking a short vacation

Thank you for posting Sue.



I will take some short trips out of the city to enjoy the lovely summer countryside, but mostly I will enjoy my garden and the many parks that we have in the city. We also have an island that we can go to with a very short ferry ride. Have fun and enjoy the summer.

Love, Inda

Have a nice week off. Enjoy the beautiful summer weather.
I will miss coming to Givnology, but then I have something nice to look forward to when you come back.

Love,
Gisele

Enjoy you days off, dear friends! I believe this is really the most beautiful time to enjoy nature, everything is blooming, the green in trees and pastures is greener than at any other moment ... gardens wrap you in their fragrance.... the skies are of a brilliant blue with good-weather clouds dancing.

I just discovered a new passion of mine: CLOUD WATCHING! I have always loved the clouds, but I had never concentrated for longer than a few moments, taking in their beauty. I couldn't take my eyes off the clouds the other day. I watched, in pure fascination, for almost an hour (from my balcony). Out of nothing, suddenly the clouds begin to form, or when they are there they transform and suddenly disappear. Amazing spectacle. I was even inspired to write the following three haikus, which I will share with you, to inspire you to watch the clouds in your turn:

* * *

Blue skies use white clouds
like painters use canvases:
they convey beauty

* * *

Skies entertain clouds
in their limitless ballroom:
Gala of nature

* * *

Watercolorists:
Cloud artists form and transform
dancing in sun glow


* * *


Wishing you all a happy relaxing time!

Love and hugs.
Margherita

Enjoy your time off everyone.
I will take a vacation towards the end of July and the beginning of August.

Thank you for your beautiful words Margherita.
Clouds are truly like little paintings, each one has its own story to tell.

We will be taking a short vacation at the end of June 2014.
I am going to New York City for a few days.
Enjoy every day of the beautiful season.

I will stay at home and enjoy my garden for a week.

Enjoy your summer.

Love,
Vicky

We have split up our holidays into several short ones this year since nobody is travelling far away.

Summer is finally here with all the beautiful flowers and sunshine.

Enjoy the beautiful season.

Dear friends,

I am taking a little longer vacation.
I am visiting my family during the whole month of July.

Enjoy the beautiful summer, have some fun and get some rest from work as well.

Love,
yoko

Dear yoko,

Have a safe trip and enjoy your summer,
your native land and your family.



Love, Inda

To all those of you, dear friends, who take a vacation, I wish a wonderful time, whether you go far away or stay at home, enjoy every moment to the fullest.

Yesterday, my husband and me, we celebrated our 49th Wedding Anniversary! Usually we went out of Rome to enjoy a lovely evening in one of the nearby villages, but we are getting older and driving at night is not easy anymore. But we enjoyed staying together at home, in good health. Do we need more?

In stillness lies peace
joyful memories unfold
grateful hearts unite

Enjoy your vacation time wherever you are.

All my love. Hugs.
Margherita

My husband's gift for the Anniversary is a wonderful plant of white gardenia

Dear Margherita,

It is so good to see you here again.
I wish you a very nice summer, and the rest of the year.

Love,
Vicky

Lovely to see you here again dear Margherita.

Enjoy your summer, whatever you do.
The simple things can bring a lot of joy.

I am going to New York city for the weekend to see the memorial gardens dedicated to the people who perished in the twin towers.

The rest of the time I will spend at home. As Vicky mentioned, we are taking several short vacations this year, a week off here and there since none of us is planning a long trip.

Enjoy yourself,
and keep well.

Love, Inda

Dear friends,

We are working for another week and a half and then we have another little holiday.
We are splitting up our holiday this year because nobody is leaving the country.

I wish you all a very lovely summer.

Love,
Vicky

Enjoy your summer, wherever you are, and whatever you do.

Hello everyone,

We are working this week, but then we are off again for a week.
It is nice to spread the vacation out a bit, so it does not disappear all at once.

Have a lovely summer.

Enjoy your summer vacation everyone!

We are off again for 2 weeks.
have a wonderful summer.

Love,
Sue

Dear friends,

I hope that you are enjoying your time off.
I had a wonderful visit with my family back at home.

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful summer weather.

Love,
yoko

Our holidays are coming to an end for the moment,
but we are still enjoying beautifu weather and our weekends. The summer flowers are still in bloom everywhere, and will be so for some time yet.

I am really glad to see you back.
I have missed your posts.
Enjoy the rest of the summer, it has turned out really lovely here.

Sincerely,
Gisele
