Of Berries And Fruit

Which is the most summery-est of all summery fruits and berries?  (Pause to think ... ) Maybe the blackberry? It has a mysterious hue and tastes like summer ...

Or, does the strawberry taste more like summer? Or peach?


Maybe only the berry and fruit that one has the most pleasant summer memories associated with taste the most summer-y ...  :-)


Anyone from the part of Sweden where I grew up would probably vote for the strawberry. Why? Because there are many strawberry farmers in that area! In face, my mom and dad sent me to a strawberry farm to pich strawberries over the summer when I was only thirteen ... Why?  Because that is what mom and dad did when they were that age!


But, what flavor do I vote for no ... when I have lived in the South long enough to prefer Southern flavors?  Well, I like my strawberries as a shortcake and my peaches ripe, juicy or simply grilled served with ice cream ... or in a cobbler of course! Still served with vanilla ice cream ...


Here is the traditional way to serve strawberries in Sweden:

Strawberries with whipped cream and sugar.

And here in the South, we serve our peaches like this:

Of Lemons and Light

Which road are you on? Your own. Everyone is walking their own road. It does have lessons, unexpected turns and pleasant surprises in a curious and wondrous mix. All in all, it is worth walking.

A Post for a Friend supporting a Non-Profit

Country Music News International Magazine & Radio Show to support Friends 4 Romanian Paws


Country Music News International Magazine & Radio Show, one of the top European Country Music magazines wants to show our support for Friends 4 Romanian Paws. They do a great job of helping dogs from Romania to find a loving home where they will have a better life. We have a soft spot in our hearts for animals. If you have room for one in your life, please find a local animal shelter and adopt a pet just as we did. You’ll be repaid by the love they will give you. For more information about about Country Music News International Magazine & Radio Show visit http://countrymusicnewsinternational.blogspot.com Friends 4 Romanian Paws are a relatively new non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating the Romanian stray dog problem at its very root. To accomplish this we are working with four shelters in Romania. Darius shelter is run by Darius Terhes, our go-to veterinarian. He also neuters as many strays as possible in his free time. His help, Mihai, takes loving care of the dogs at the shelter every day. The shelter, that can house up to 60 dogs, and Darius' new built practise are located on a small private property of his. Friends 4 Romanian Paws are also working on taking in strays from the town Rupea and are planning on offering neutering to family dogs there to get a handle on the stray dog population in this small town. We are really thankful to have a veterinarian in our team who is determined to improve animal welfare in his home country and who has the capacity to give shelter to stray dogs, take care of their medical needs and is even able to perform surgeries if necessary. Bruno shelter is operated by Eleonora Vlad and her husband Mihai. They shelter about 100 dogs in a well organized environment. Elli is a very kind soul who applies western standards in taking care of the animals. She is grateful for any offered support and does her best to help the dogs on a daily basis. Friends 4 Romanian Paws also offer a small contribution to Raluca Ferbinteanu, a veterinarian who owns a vet clinic and also shelters around 300 dogs. They hope to be able to help her do small 'spayatons' soon and are taking care of 90 dogs there that were simply forgotten by another organization. As you can see there is a lot of work to be done and we hope that we can count on your much-needed support because only with that support we can reach our goal of Romania being free of stray dog suffering.

Thoughts of Christmas and A Wish For A Happy New Year!

This past Holiday Season was hectic. Or is that something that we decide for ourselves? Hmmm, that could very well be. That whatever we choose to do and feel and think reflects our daily life ... in other words: if one decides to put too many to-do's on oneself, stressful is going to be one's everyday living.
How many "musts" could we cut out of our hearts? What kind of change would it be in your life if you decided to think that the expectations of others oftentimes start in oneself? I think communication helps here. How many gifts do we need? Each person on your list? Maybe they and we don't need as much as we think we do ... talk to them this year before anyone starts any gift list (whether it is a mental note one or a written-down one), and remember, the Greatest Gift has already been given to us:






So, what is this new year going to bring? Much of it is up to us, the Human Kind  ...
