I’m suffering from time poverty today! As soon as I wrap this up I’m off to scrape wallpaper in the boys’ room. But I do have some good stuff for you today…
This video is a must see, people. It’ll knock your socks off. IL Divo’s rendition of Amazing Grace at, of all places, the Colosseum in Rome. WOW!!!! I promise you that it is worth watching; it gets better as you go.
Tell me that didn’t start your Friday off well!
Mom and I made a visit to Simply Divine Brownies in Freeport this week.
If you live in Maine, hello…make a trip! If not, they mail, and they certainly are divine. It’s a new favorite stop.
While we were in Freeport, we stopped at our second home, LL Bean. And I discovered a new-to-me photographer, Ron Schmidt, owner of Loose Leashes. Even if you aren’t a dog lover, these will no doubt make you smile. Go visit his site to see more!
Adorable! What a talent! And speaking of art, I had my second landscape painting class last night, which I am loving. Yesterday I had my art supplies in the car, and Jack, my little artist, was determined to paint. He would not stop saying “I be a painter! I want to paint!” On and on he goes while we are toodling around Bangor, browsing through shops. Finally out of frustration, he tells my mom “I just can’t handle it. I have to paint.” Ha!
Alright, to wrap up, I believe the last number I heard was that over 1.6 million dollars was raised during Global Food Crises Day sponsored by Compassion International on the 11th. Wow! On that note, I found another cause that is very worthy; click on the picture to learn more.
Living Water International canvases the globe, supplying wells for clean drinking water to those who don’t have it. I can’t imagine being there to see the joy that clean water would bring.
Happy Friday, everyone!
Jen, that video is awesome. It does give you chill bumps!
I’m supposed to be traveling (though it was delayed until later), but I wanted to stop by and check in with you.
LOVE that artist/photographer! What neat pieces! Maine truly is full of the most amazing artists. You live in a BEAUTIFUL place. Love what your little one said about art. LOL!
Clean water initiatives are VIP. So many people live without it that it’s great to see when people get decent water.
Enjoyed your post…
XO,
Sheila… who is running as I type…
