I apologize for being gone for a couple of days. I took some friends on day trips . Yesterday, we went to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. It is one of my favorite places to visit and it a great place for kids. No matter where you live in our world, it is good to immerse yourself, your family and friends in the beauty surrounding you. Whether it is gardens, music, art or poetry readings take advantage of ways to renew your spirit. A day off to immerse yourself completely in friends, art, good food. We ended our trip in Little Italy and Chocolatinis. A martini made with chocolate. I love them. A day of laughter is always a good day for rejuvenation. I have photographs to share with all of you. I hope you like them. Happy Summer to everyone.
