Wedding!

In August 2014, I had the honor of helping a friend/co-worker of mine prepare her wedding. It was going to be celebrated on a North Carolina beach, so we decided an the ocean theme. I had tried my hand ay watercolor before, but was not sure how it would come out. Well I don't know about what others thought about it, but I loved the way they came out! Now mind, I am not a professional painter, but I really liked what I was able to create. The watercolors for the tables, gifts, nameplates were my creation. She and I both made  the chair decorations (with the starfish). She and her mom decorated the tables. I feel it all looks lovely, and though it was cloudy, the ceremony was beautiful!!!

Gifts were soaps in the form of sea urchins and shells...

The table had a burlap runner...

There were some blue and turquoise M&M's with the couple's initials..

The centerpiece was a candle with sand and seashells..

So nice...

I love the seahorse!

Each table had a sea design..here with the names of who sat where..

Chair decorations...

The bride and the groom!! Beautiful!

 

And me...

It was a very nice wedding!! I wish them both lots and lots of love!!

Snow!!

Last night we had a snow "storm". It snowed all night and I woke up to this!!! Beautiful, fluffy snow!! Love it...

The way the trees look, so beautiful! As I said before, snow is new to me and I really enjoy it. Everything is so white and silent! Familiar places and thing are completely transformed. No matter the season there is beauty in everything, including change. Tomorrow it will probably be gone, but I got to enjoy it today....
Wish everybody beauty and love in everything seen and done...

Pilot Mountain

Less than an hour from Winston-Salem is Pilot Mountain. It is really beautiful!! The view is breathtaking from there! This was the first place I visited when I came here for my job interview in March 2013, and since that first day I fell in love with the place. To be able to go there in each season is wondrous! The Autumn colors are so intense!!! Summer is so very warming, and Spring is so promising... Here are a few photo from this picture perfect place...

I guess you can see why I love this place! If you ever visit Winston-Salem, please visit Pilot Mountain! I am sure you will love it!!!

North of South..

So here is my new blog.
After living 28 years in Mexico, and managing my first blog At Home in Mexico for a few years, I am now living in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, so the old blog is not working for my new place of residence. I still consider Mexico my 2nd home (my first home would be Puerto Rico...I know, a lot of moving around), and I love that country with a passion! It's people, food, customs, everything!!! Totally fascinating!
But now I am here and there is so much to see and do, that I would like to share it with all of you! The mountains are breathtaking, the people warm, the customs so southern! And this is the funny part of all this...I am now in the South, but it is so North of Mexico and Puerto Rico! That is why I feel I am North of South....
So I hope you enjoy my new blog.
To all I have lived in Mexico, muchas gracias!
And to all my new adventures here, north of south, thanks y'all!!
