Indeed it was a perfect time, a perfect moment in time, where all came together to create the miracle you enjoyed. What a great gift the Universe provided, and how great that you were so receptive! Thank you for sharing with us all!!!<br />This Nuno is a wonderful man!<br />Someone commented he must be very wealthy. <br />What is really important is that he knows how to enjoy life and the good things and has a great sensibility for beauty!<br />The house, the horses, the food and mostly the friends show him to be a true connoisseur!<br />And how well you share it all with us, through your words and photos, we are there with you!<br />May all who were there be aware of the special moments you shared.<br />May Nuno and Jeanne enjoy each other and keep sharing!<br />With all my love,<br />Isabel (from DC)Isabel (from DC)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096767886845585828.post-41728518391041080992009-09-16T14:43:27.201-07:002009-09-16T14:43:27.201-07:00This is an excellent post.

This month’s Book Club selection at www.beingcancer.net is by leukemia and transplant survivor, Evan Handler. Handler is a noted Broadway and television actor best known as Charlotte’s boyfriend/husband in Sex and the City. He has also appeared in Lost, The West Wing, and Studio 60. This funny and poignant book covers his diagnosis with AML, his remission, relapse, and treatment with bone marrow transplant at John Hopkins and Memorial Sloan-Kettering. You can order a new or used copy of the book from my site. Discussion began today and will continue for the next three Mondays in September.<br />Take care, DennisDennis Pyritz, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144887043696304270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096767886845585828.post-39938609274826870792009-09-07T08:28:27.841-07:002009-09-07T08:28:27.841-07:00Celeste dear -

I could stare at those all the live long day. I am crazy for horses and this was an absolute delight to see the Lusitanians. And another favorite picture out of this batch? Your dog Maxi loping down the driveway. (Love horses, love dogs.)<br /><br />I had a look at your web site and paged through every one of the paintings in your catalog. I think the painting titles and little "stories" you've included with each makes the whole package even that much more enjoyable...and "visual." And, I will look for the book about the card-playing dog (though I have no grandchildren yet- good thing - both kids still at university!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096767886845585828.post-9316334685366441342009-09-06T14:34:51.031-07:002009-09-06T14:34:51.031-07:00I live in Alentejo half of the week and it is inde...I live in Alentejo half of the week and it is indeed a beautiful region.

Your life sounds as colourful as mine. I was born in Chile, spent my childhood in Algeria and Brazil and parts of my college years in New York, Rabat, Khartoum and Havanna. I am a graphic designer, aromatherapist and book author. And I love blogging of course as it reminds me of all the fabulous travels around the world. Having lived in Southwest Ireland for the last ten years I am happy as can be on our 'fazenda' if it wasn't for the extremely slow internet connection (so I couldn't see all of your lovely photographs).

My favorites are the woman opening the wooden gate, Guida's kitchen, and all of the food photos. Please send me a piece of the flan. How impossible it is to recreate the homey greatness of a European kitchen. The thick walls, the worn wooden surfaces, the history of so thousands of meals prepared there. <br /><br />Finally -- thanks for your insight about "sure lines" on my last post. You saw it, but I really hadn't.
