Editor’s Note

Along a quiet and beautiful road ...

I was walking on a quiet beautiful road this morning and stumbled on some weeds buried in a bed of chrysanthemums.  In my dismay I suddenly realized that I fell upon Fall and Summer was dwindling away.  I was shocked and sadden because here it was almost the end of September and I hadn’t written a thing about summer in this newsletter.  I didn’t talk about walking barefoot along the brook at the end of the street, the barbecue I ate while sitting on a plaid quilt in my back yard, Martha’s Vineyard, jumping double dutch, yes I jump, with my niece, and countless other wonderful summer activities.

Well here we are  it’s almost Fall again and we have to get on with the business of life.  I have great stuff to share with you I’m featuring some folk from Facebook in my ‘Amen Corner’ page and Amy Winehouse is my Person of the Month. It’s all good so relax kick back and enjoy my posts on different cultures.

Cultures

Greece

From up on the hill of Oia s Prophet Elias, you gaze falls upon the dark waters of the caldera, passing over the volcano s petrified lava and then returning high up to the while line of houses that sparkle in the clear light.

The Wines of Northern Greece

The key to a perfect Greek salad is to use fresh lemon juice, and to purchase good quality feta and olives.
