Hello April! Goodbye March!

It is inevitable now! The first day of April is finally here! I am happily saying goodbye to March and gladly welcoming one of my favorite months of the year. Spring has sprung  as well! In fact, spring just started last March 20 in our area. This is according to the calendar in front of me.  I just took a look at the calendar once again a few moments ago,  and also found out that March 30 is already the beginning of summer season. Awesome season indeed!

I can feel the breeze of spring time.  Our garden is also  beginning to smile. Some flowers like violas, hyacinths, tulips, narcissus and other spring blooms are already flowering  now. This beauty of  nature simply amazes me.  Spring  is indeed  the season of  rebirth, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. This is the season to start another life again and maybe a good and better one. I am trying my best!

Yesterday, I already started to pack my luggage for the great travel that will start to happen  this month. Of course, I am quite  excited about it. It has been a long time since I did not visit  Asia especially my homeland Philippines. I will finally be seeing my family again.  I am very excited. I am  praying to God for safe travels again. I will be  visiting more places  during this 6-week of travel in Asia. So help me my Lord!

To everyone! I  am wishing you all a blessed and fruitful month of  April..Good health and happiness  as well! God bless us all!

Gold Coins and Jewelry Exchanges

People are always looking for unique jewelry designs that truly stand out from the rest. Gold coins could be integrated into interesting jewelry combinations that are sure to attract plenty of positive attention and remarks. A coin could be integrated into a pendant, cufflink or earrings. Sterling silver jewelry makes an excellent contrast to high quality gold coins with ratings such as 14K and above.

Gold coins could also be exchanged at great prices in numismatic shops. The value of a coin is based on a few simple factors. The year of mint determines the historical value of a gold coin. Additionally, the specific edition may also have an impact on the price of a coin. Some coins were circulated in very limited numbers during time periods that may have involved wars and political instability in the United States.

Luggage is Finally Packed

I am ready to go. In less than 24 hours,  my first travel for this year will start.  I am finally done packing my luggage. I am quite tired now after doing some things at home but I know later, I will be fine. I am quite excited now and I hope, I did not forget anything. I already have all my travel gadgets  especially my digital cameras.  As usual, I bought 3 cameras again. Oh well, I  just want to make  it  sure that I have enough space to save my photos. If one camera is broken, I still have another ones.

A church  in Florence, Italy during my first visit in Autumn 2013.

This time, I am heading again to Italy and San  Marino. We will be visiting some places there. It was really a very cheap travel, the reason why I also book it. Besides, there are places  I wanted to visit again especially Venice and Florence. It will be  an 8 days trip and mostly everything  is included from accommodation, transportation, meals  (breakfast and dinner) and visit to different places. For only 298.00 Euros, I find it really very cheap. I guess, this is only enough for a return plane ticket  to Venice  or Florence, starting from Germany.

I need to wake-up very early tomorrow to go to the pick-up  area in Regensburg. I am quite excited to see new places like Assisi, Perugia, Santarcangelo di Romagna, Bologna,  Ancona and San  Marino. This will be my second time in Florence and many times in Venice.

I will just surprised myself what travel experiences awaits for me in these 8 days trip. Keep us safe and sound in this travel my Lord! Amen!

Busy with Many Things

What a nice weather we had the whole day today. After going to the next town to buy something in the hardware store, I immediately changed my clothing to  working clothes.  I was able to do some things in the garden and also clean my car. 

There are a lot of things to do before I travel again and I hope I can finish some. I know for sure I cannot do everything because garden work made me busy these  days. Winter is so mild that the first spring flowers are slowly growing and blooming. I am glad that DH is helping me especially in cutting the weeds and gathering and throwing all the dried leaves.

I also need to do some home chores before I travel again. I am thankful for all these busy days in my life! Cheers and take care everyone!

A Friend Looking for Musical Gadgets

I once received a message in my inbox from a friend. He mentioned that he was looking for certain music instruments. I am not really an expert about this topic but I know some musical gadgets. I was telling him to check these excellent guitar bodies from guitar center. For sure, he will find some that will fit his needs and budget.  I am happy for him because he owns a band now. Their group  play music and songs during parties and other celebration. Finally, his dream came true.

If you are looking for musical instruments, the best place to find it is in the internet. Have fun shopping!

Who tell the Crocus to Come back on Spring Time

The weather was just lovely today!  It was not so cold and the sun was shining.  I  woke-up quite late this morning. For some reasons, I don't want to  come out from my warm bed.  I was actually awake at around 7:00 in the morning but decided to go back to sleep again.

After taking my brunch, I decided to go out and went to our garden.  I was so happy seeing the first spring flowers.

Such a lovely and amazing beauty of nature..Crocuses or croci are blossoming now in our garden. Look a crocus visited by a bumble bee. I felt  good when  I was looking at this priceless creatures this noon time.

 You might be wondering who is always telling the crocus or croci to blossom every spring time?  This is indeed a miracle done by up  above! I always admire the beauty of nature when seeing things like these.  They are like balsam to my soul and spirit. This is also the reason why I love garden works.

I also found out that  other plants such as tulips are slowly growing.  The leaves of the roses, hyacinth, spring roses and other flowers are  also slowly sprouting.  I can't wait to see everything blossoming in our garden.

Here is a brief description of crocus;

The cup-shaped, solitary, salverform flower tapers off into a narrow tube. Their colors vary enormously, although lilac, mauve, yellow, and white are predominant. The grass-like, ensiform leaf  shows generally a white central stripe along the leaf axis. The leaf margin is entire. Crocuses typically have three stamens.

Good Site for Senior Housing Software

I was reading a health magazine last week and I find it quite interesting. Hey, I am not a senior yet but it is good to know things about the seniors and elderly. We are all going to that stage of life when His Highness permits. If you are searching for some good information or trying to find a senior housing software, www.eldermark.com might help you.  You can check their products and services  in the internet for more information.

I am trying to decide  after my vacation if I will also engage  with a job in relation to working with the  seniors.

Planning for Home Improvement This Year

Living in a little cozy home simply and happily, what else can you ask for? It might not be the dream home of everybody but we are glad that we have a home that we can call our home. The greatest things is, we are no longer paying for home mortgage and we are really grateful for it. It is our dream to be debt-free when we retire in the future.

This is quite an old home,  where we are currently living. This is the reason why we are trying to renovate and improve it from time to time, especially when finances are available.  During the past years, we already did some renovations and improvements and like what I mentioned, that is when money is available.

This year, we are planning to do a finishing outside of the house. After that, we will also paint it all around.  Since it will be a DIY or  "Do It Yourself"  project, I believed this will help us save some money especially for the labor cost.  We are already scouting for the color of the paint and hopefully,  we will finally decide for it soon.

We are planning to start this project this coming summer season, when the weather gets  better and friendlier.Good luck to us!
