I 'd like to share with you
while digging my orto's paths this morning I heard a voice calling me, and the son in law of our old neighbor asking me if I could help him cleaning some of the 70 kg fish he had fished last night and accept them as a present.
in the afternoon I met two old ladies who take care of a little chapel in a district of our village, the very old original heart of our village. They were locking its door for the night but asked me if I wanted to see two new paintings a lady living near it had donated to the church.
I'm not an art expert but I think they are really valuable.
Two kind and unexpected events in a day

eheh I was so grateful, because I never like going into museums or exibitions to see paintings, there is always too much to see outside ...........forgive my scarse interest for art when it's constricted indoors

It's nice to hear because in a few places, we skipped going in to a big palace or museum when the weather was beautiful, so often, the months we travelled were in winter. About the young teacher, too bad that person didn't realize how much he could learn from you, but his loss. ![]()

That sounds just wonderful. It just goes to show not everyone in the world is uncaring. What a fullfilling day it must have been .

I love it when miracles happen in the course of a day. Nothing that will ever go down in church chronicles but something we recognize as a gift and are thankful for. Simple yet wonderful.

Re: I 'd like to share with you
It just accured to me - You can eat fish, but you can also have it stuffed and hang it on a wall, much like a painting. By that logic, would a painting taste good in hollandaise sauce and a twist of lemon? ![]()
