We have music everywhere. Don't get me started on the ski home. Sophia, are you sure you want him to invade your home? 🤣 Think l may need an army of experts! Noting you are from Idaho reminded me of one of my very first visits to the US many moons ago when in a restaurant l asked the waiter what Idaho potatoes were…. assuming it was a kind of dish l hadn’t heard of….l felt a right chump when he quite simply told me they were just potatoes from Idaho….🤦♀️ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter in Florida tells her clients she is coming to visit her Mom in Idaho. They always ask her "why does your Mom want to live there. Isn't it just potatoes"? Actually, we are one of the fastest growing States with many leaving California etc for this wonderful beauty and lifestyle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancel your arrangements, and take the photographs and post them. And that is an order! 🙂 They are sublime. I haven’t ever seen anything remotely like these and I can see why they are intoxicating. Are the “formers” ie jaguar blanks all standard and purchased and painted because their shapes look identical? The toes give a decent clue.

But you can try the google translator. https://jaguarparade.com/rio2024/ Thanks for that - very much appreciated. The google translate was limited but good enough. I know the underlying purpose is wildlife protection but what I valued is that the art is purposefully not “precious” and “inaccessible” and in some of the videos it shows them on the streets and kids being allowed to touch and caress them. There is also kids making minor contributions to the process. It’s so important that whilst kids are formative they see the creative process and even if in a limited way participate, and most certainly allowed to caress. I think that if kids don’t form some sort of bond with art at that age then it proably never happens. Thanks again for introducing it.

Emtbsam Posted August 4 #21788 Share Posted August 4 I decided not to evacuate in anticipation of the hurricane, but I have been bagging ice, the bath tub is full, and I have cooked everything in the refrigerator. I even made coffee figuring that cold coffee is better than no coffee. It looks like we will get a direct hit from a Category 1 hurricane. My fingers are crossed that it will not be a Cat 2. The house has been through much worse, but without me in residence. My biggest concern will be if we lose power and the temperature soars. Ah, the joys of a beach house on the Gulf of Mexico. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted August 5 #21796 Share Posted August 5 In May DW and I took a wonderful trip through Northern Italy (Lakes Como & Maggiore), Tuscany and Umbria. It was mainly a land trip, but it did involve several boat cruises on Lake Como and Lake Maggiore – and the Italian Lakes are often included as an extension on river cruises. I have posted the full blog and photos here, for those who are interested: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3021443-jazzbeaux-italian-lakes-tuscany-umbria-2024/ 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find the foot pizza pretty horrible to look at. However my four apparently brand new paperbacks by Louise Penny have just arrived! I see she gets a recommendation on the cover from my fave British writer of similar books, Ann Cleeves. So a few extra early nights for me, and review in due course, Mysty. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
