Our Beautiful World 84 ~ What light through yonder window breaks?

My sister-in-law Marilyn is coming to stay with us for a week today, and then Clare will come on Friday with Jared and 3 other friends, Dolce will be arriving on Saturday too, we were busy yesterday cleaning up the house and prepare for the guest room and the girls' room for so many guests, and then we went out for Valentine's day dinner, that makes me forgot about my post, so I am really late for this one : (

This week at



Robyn picked....

What light through yonder window breaks?

If you are interested to find out where this phrase came from, here's the link to Romeo and Juliet Balcony Scene.

and this is my favorite scene....


Papi likes to look out of the window in our room, he even knows how to push the blind, but we didn't want him to leave any scratches on the wooden panel, so whenever he does that, we would open the window for him, and he just stands there and stare outside..


it reminds me a lot of the old people I saw in Europe, they just like looking out of their window


"yes mommy, that is what I like to do!"


come play with us at

I love the Italian sandwich here at Paris Hotel, so I decided to try to make it at home, of course I found out that the magic is the Giardiniera in the sandwich, I googled for recipes and make a big jar, there is so much that I decided to share with my friend
