Sunday Shout-out: Happy Mother’s Day!!

This Sunday I want to give a shout out to all the moms reading . . . Happy Mother’s Day!! You all most certainly deserve a shout-out every day! I send my love and wishes to my wonderful mother on this day, and wish we weren’t so far apart. My Mom’s favorite place in the world is Positano, which brings her tears of joy and emotion when she arrives. I never go to Positano without thinking of you, Mom!

Yesterday I took the boat to Positano in the morning, which is certainly the best way to arrive in the city. You see the wonderful vista of the city as you come into Port, and you arrive right in the center of town down on the beach. The Church of S. Maria Assunta is just steps away from where you land, as well as shops, restaurants and, of course, the beach! I tagged along with my boyfriend who was doing a tour, and while he worked I chatted with a friend, watched the seagulls flying around the beautiful dome of the church, and did a bit of shoe shopping. A note to shoppers: they make beautiful handmade leather shoes in Positano!

But the morning would have been all the better if I had been with my Mom. How about next Mother’s Day we do this together, Mom? Sounds perfect! To my mother and all the mother’s out there….

Happy Mother’s Day!!

    Tee hee, we both posted transversely about Positano! That is because she is our mother in a way.

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶
Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a hol Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a holiday for their national poet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Here’s one of my favorite poems he wrote.

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
