Weekly Photo Challenge…Admiration for a Thing of Beauty
I have always admired my violin, which I bought from its maker in 1987, when it was nearly brand new. David VanZandt lives in Seattle, and every once in awhile I take my beautiful violin home to "Daddy" for him to touch up the varnish and do any needed adjustments. I found that, once I …

Celebrate our Beautiful Country
Every day, I give thanks to have been born in the Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. Our country is one of the most beautiful on Earth, with terrain ranging from blazing hot deserts, to grassy prairies, to high snow-capped mountains, to chains of beautiful blue lakes. The American people are the most generous in …
Weekly Photo Challenge…Dancing at Her Wedding
https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/dance/ They got the slow dance out of the way, so they could dance to the Persian music. My nephew married a gorgeous young lady whose family is from Iran. Her dad gave an absolutely hilarious speech that had all the wedding guests rolling in the aisles. To the Dance!
Weekly Photo Challenge…Harmony…My Heritage in Pictures, and Music
In 2007, my husband and I went to Israel with Michael Medved and his family (he is based and broadcasts from KTTH 770 Radio in Seattle).

Out-of-the-ordinary Christmas music
I am a Jew who loves Christmas music. All year round, my internal tape has carols playing. Since 1991, I have collected CDs of unusual Christmas music. I try to buy something new each year, and I have accumulated quite a collection of those outdated compact discs. My collection ranges from medieval and Renaissance music, …
Properly Grateful…Joy of Giving
I like to think that I count my blessings every day, not just on Thanksgiving Day. This year, I've had numerous occasions to reflect on the manifest blessings in my life, and my country. I was fortunate to be born in the United States of America, which has, since its founding in the 18th Century, …
Photo Essay: University of Cambridge, Summer 1991
I admit it. I am a total Anglophile. I'm a sucker for a British accent, and since a trip around Britain in 1984, I fell in love with the city of Cambridge. In the summer of 1991, I was fortunate enough to attend a three-week program put on by UCLA in Cambridge. Attendees could take …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Ornate
This is the sanctuary at St. Joseph's Polish Catholic Church in Camden, New Jersey, during their 120th Anniversary celebration in 2012. The priest is Polish, and there is a Polish-language Mass daily. My husband grew up not far from here, and went to this church, and graduated from the parochial high school here (now defunct). …
