The perfect beginning to a lovely birthday dinner.
Greens and beans. “Escarole, Northern Beans, Garlic, Shallots, White Wine, & Parmesan”
My friend V and I shared this delicious appetizer. You might have seen it from our last visit to this restaurant on the Southside, Cucina Vitale. Know it’s cash only, BYOB and reservations are necessary for dinner.

The first photo a rose bouquet I purchased from the Winterfeldplatz Market. The other roses seen while walking.
Rose season in full bloom.
At all stages of blossoming, they are lovely to see. When I went to find rose quotations to accompany the photos there were over three hundred to choose from including the mention of thorns, of course.
Decided on a single most well known quotation spoken by Juliet but I’m sure more thoughts on roses will come to your own mind.
(And on a side note Kiez Eis https://kiezeis.de/ on Winterfeld Strasse is featuring Rosewasser Ice Cream in addition to the rhubarb and asparagus flavors I’ve mentioned recently.)
“WHAT’S IN A NAME? THAT WHICH WE CALL A ROSE, BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET.”
Juliet– William Shakespeare
Found while cleaning.
Dried corsage from an unknown occasion. It was resting inside an opaque ceramic lidded box. And now that I look at it, boutonnière seems a more apt description. But here’s the thing- Preserved to remember a special occasion? A sentimental moment. And I’ve not a clue what it could be.
I’m certain other people wear the flowers for the occasion, remove them from their clothing, then slip them into the trash.

A six word Saturday. Maura is reflected in Charlie’s sunglasses. They were making faces together. BTW this is the old Batman hat that was a hand-me-down from Michael. Finished the replacement hat today. See below.
Christmas 2011 Jack and Michael received superhero hats from Grandma I think Michael wished I had bought him LEGO One of my favorite photos. 
The new Batman hat completed today December 28th

Steve and I met Vincie at the Penn Brewery parking lot and walked down Vinial Street to the Kaffeehaus on Chestnut Street.
My former photography teacher from Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild, Germaine Watkins, had a solo show of incredible photographs of Haiti. I bought the one of the gorgeous countryside that is right behind my head.
Vincie took this photo of me with Germaine

My first post for Six Word Saturday. Thought I’d participate this week.
At least my title is just six words.
My DIL brought me this lovely salad to which she added pomegranate and feta cheese. A drizzle of Balsamic. So refreshing and how nice to be served unexpectedly. The kids were all at swim.
The book underneath is The Four Hour Work Week . Have to dip into it. Oops, I’m retired.
