Wow, almost an year has gone by since

I last wrote a few words in here!!

I want to take this opportunity to

thank you for being there for me and

for one more year of virtual friendship!

One day, who knows, we will meet for real!

 What  a party it would be, huh??

 

May you have a wonderful, healthy

and peaceful 2008!

No one can see.
Nothing so great but there's something still greater
Beyond it can be'

My sweet mom having a gorgeous cascade of jade flowers

above her cute head... Thank you net friends for all

your comforting words about my mom!

 

Oh, my, it's October!

Soon it will be Christmas again!

Last Sunday (Daddy's day), after a gorgeous lunch,

 we took our car and drove up to Tijuca

Forest.  We were lucky enough

to find Mr Coati on a insect hunting tour!

 

Isn't he just cute? :o)

 

 

Thank you all for your sweet comments about

my dear mom!

 

Have a nice weekend!

Today I feel like talking a bit about my lil mom.

 She's 78 now and since my beloved daddy passed away

4 years ago I've been her arms, legs and brains...

We don't have an exact diagnosis but she has lots

of Alzheimer's symptons. Most of the time she's as sweet as

can be, just like a curious hummingbird.

 

Last week I took her to the Botanical Gardens...

 

 

She loves all the flowers!

 

It's not easy to take care of a person in her

conditions. I have been learning so many things

since I started climbing this new staircase in my life!

She's under some specific medicines but I can assure

 you the best, the most efficient medicine is LOVE!!

 

Have a nice weekend!

It's raining down here and, oh boy, we're

needing it! We had  a whole month without

 a single drop! Hey, it' s Winter after all!!! :o)

 

This week I finally find some free time to finish

a wonderful book: "Sophia's World" by Jostein

Gaarder. I absolutelly loved it!

 

Last Sunday we went visiting my brother who lives

up in the mountains area of Rio de Janeiro.

 

 

Nice for a change from the beach, huh?

 

Have a lovely Sunday!

Leblon and Ipanema beaches viewed from

Dois Irmćos view point. Aren't they great?

This is what I see every day while having

my morning walks along the beach!

 

 

I do think Rio de Janeiro is a wonderful city!

 

Today I made a new page dedicated to Don Quixote!

What a book, it has 400 years and yet it gets our

attention and who on earth can forget the gorgeous

song "Impossible dream"?

 

 "To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go..."

 

Have a lovely weekend sweet net friends!

A new look after so long!

Thanks Caroline for your patience!

Tables and pixels almost made me crazy! :o)

 

Have a nice weekend my net friends!

I couldn't resist adopting this cutie from Kari:

 

 

I'm  a big girl and I do cry a lot!

I cried when my son was born, then when he had his first

communion, then when he graduated, etc.

I cry while reading books which touch me,

while watching movies...

I cry when I'm sad but I cry when I'm happy too!

It seems I have an endless storage of tears!!

 

Congrats to the Italian ladies out there!

Italy won the World Cup!

What a game!

And Federer did it again!

Wimbledon is his nest, he, he!!

Isn't he an amazing player??

 

Now, I'm sharing with you this special

sunset!  Everyday at Jacaré Beach

(a river beach in my home town Joćo Pessoa, PB)

 at sunset a sax palyer plays Ravel's Bolero!!

I can assure you I was speechless...

It's Winter!! Lovely weather!

 

So, the Soccer World Cup is over to us!

It seems our team lost its 'soul'! Great players

without a sense of a real team. Well, I guess we'll

have to wait for 2010!!

 

But I can't complain, 2006 has been a nice year so far!

My son Rafael graduated, he's a lawyer!!

I'm so proud of him!

 

He's the one in the middle!

Love you!

 

Have a nice weekend ladies!

Happy 4th of July to my American net friends!

 

Hi, ladies!

He, he, It seems my blog works in 'hicups'!

On the other hand... My site is all updated!

I've been working mostly in my

Summer pages and improving

my adoption shop!

Now, I've around 20 cuties for

you to adopt and all of them with a

lighthouse theme!!

And I brought back the Bear Country

Land Game for you!

Come on over and test your skills!

 

 

And this is my beach!!

The place in which I spent my Summer vacations!

 

 

 

 

January, 10, 2006

 

This will be my room with a view

for the next couple of weeks!

 

 

I'm going to the Northeast of Brazil,

to a small town called Joćo Pessoa

which happens to be my home city!

I'll borrow my cousin's lap top as

soon as possible so as I can still

visit my net friends and answer my mails!

 

I'll try to post here how my vacations

are going!

 

I can't resist a computer, he, he!

 

Lots of hugs to you all!

 

 

 

 

Obrigada Carola!
