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!
