Playing Scrabble.
But once the child's play is over, the functions of the wonderful world of words goes on and WE are the masters who tame each member of the linguistic system into sublime submission with pen
and ink
and imagination.
With our mastery, we can seize the ever-wandering verb in its tracks
this tireless citizen of the language community that incessantly wants to
dance
inspire
work
play
and even in its sleep, dream
plan
and create.
These assiduous affiliates are looking for willing subjects and nouns to join together on the page, where there is nothing more beautiful
and personal
than to see these members of the language society gather in a special space
to develop and to contribute to who we are
and who we may become.
When these members join to compose something timeless
melodic
and divine
an unforgettable symphony is composed, rehearsed and shaped into a life-time of actions of kindness.
Thank you, each and everyone of you, who frequent my blog faithfully, exchange laughter and dreams, and who have sent me the most memorable works of art from your hands and hearts. I cherish each and everyone of you -
Enjoy a peaceful and inspiring weekend with those you love!
Je vous aime tous!

"Esprit Classique" était mon PREMIER blog, supprimé sur un coup de tête !
Il avait presque UN an !
Dans la foulée et le regret, j'en ai recréé un autre : "Rêver au Sud".
C'est la sixième photo de mon DEUXIEME blog que je montre, ayant tout perdu de mon premier !
J'espère que je ne t'ai pas trop "embrouillée" !!!
Voudrais-tu montrer à ton tour une sixième photo de l'un de tes blogs ma chère Anita ?
OUF !!!
Je t'embrasse très tendrement.
Marie-Ange
J'arrive à ma TROISIEME année de blog !
BON J'ARRÊTE (rire) !!!!!
Good Morning my Sweet Friend, ...Sending you Some *Sunshine*... {did you get it?} ...happy day

darling Anita,
you are just so utterly amazing and inspiring!! your posts are always so beautiful and creative, i get tears in my eyes when i read them.
thank you so much for your warm weekend wishes, i am sending you wishes too for the loveliest of sundays.
i would have written earlier my dear, but i've had such a stinking headache today (all day unfortunately). i feel really bad because i put up a post this afternoon and then had to go and lie down again, which means i am very belatedly visiting my friends.
if i'm feeling better tomorrow i'll call by again.
sending lots and lots of love xxx
and lily sends hundreds of doggie kisses (she is very affectionate) xxx
What a lovely post you have here...
Everything you say is always so well thought out.
I do love that photo with the blue script...

Enjoy a sunny Sunday!

My Anita what a lovely post!!! I love to come and visit you...A beautiful Sunday to you...Dzintra♥x
I'm number 43 to comment today. I like being number 43 chugging down the tracks of life to Anita's heart to pay her a visit. Okay, the little house with the fairy...I want it! I cannot simply think of anything else at the moment. This however, is another post that sets my mind spinning. I'm having the TIME OF MY LIFE with you...traveling to NOWHERE and WITS END and back again and by golly forget THE GOOD SHIP LOLLIPOP and come aboard The PICCADILLY as we sail on silver girl. Your words POP across the page, never babble or scrabbled, just a fine symphony! A hearty wave to your Rattus.
Wow, you are so brilliant in your writing..you convey your thoughts more creatively than I have ever seen, Anita! What a gift you have! No, make that several gifts!
Such an honor for me that our paths crossed,I always am learning from you! Thank you for your beautiful friendship and your positive outlook on life!!! love deb
Hi Anita,
Yesterday I received from my friend Marie-Ange REVER AU SUD an invitation to participate in a game between blogs.Today is my turn to choose new players and I have chosen you to participate ..... only if you want and it looks good.
Hugs,
Cecilia
Love the new blog.Thanks
If I could express so eloquently what is in my heart as some have done here, I would. All I can say is 'amen' to these beautiful comments about your wonderful and creative words and images. A bit of the divine I believe!!!
Bless you dear Anita!
~ Violet
Mais oui,Anita, comme tu veux!!!
J te désire très bonne semaine,
Bisous,
Cecilia
J'ai une question pour toi:on comprend bien mon anglais, est très horrible ? ?

C'est un enchantement de venir chez vous.
Merci.

Merci pour être à mon give-away. Je n'ai pas besoin de ton aderesse, ni ton @mail (je le demande seulement si quelqu'un partage d'une forme anonyme).
Je te souhaite très bonne journée
Cecilia
Anita,
A visit to one of your posts is like walking down a Street filled with inspirational eye candy.
You know when I first came back to the States, I so missed my walks through the streets of Hong Kong filled with an explosion of visual stimulation. Now, when I long to walk through inspiration I come here for a visit. You always surprise me with your visual story telling.
Karen
Good morning Anita,
Hope you had a lovely weekend.
Thanks for the visit! I am getting to your blog a little late, but as you know, I have been a busy crown maker.
I love each and every magical post that you do.
Lovely,
Rosemary
Your Majesty,
Love love this post!!!! Especially the ink well! simply divine post, Bravo, well done!
Royal wishes,
Daisy
dearest Anita
hello
thank you for your kind concern xxx i am much better now, thank goodness. that horrid headache went on for two days and now my daughter has it, so maybe it was something viral.
i have just read and admired your lovely post again. your blog is truly one of the most magical places in blogland.
how are you my dear? and what kind of weather are you having in your neck of the woods?
we seem to be having good gardening weather this week, i am hoping things will now catch up after the prolonged winter.
it's quite late in the evening here (past my bed time infact), i am tapping away at my lap top in the bedroom with lily at my feet and two cats nestled in cushions nearby.
i thought i would come and have a little chat with you before i make my cocoa and settle down for the night.
hope you have had a good monday and will have a terrific tuesday xxx
lots of love and hugs xxx

Anita~ Thank you so much for coming by and your sweet words. I can always count on you to boost me up just when I need it. My angel! Beautiful photos--I especially love the little angel in front of the house and and the very last, tranquil scene.
You are so kind!
Dearest Anita
Your excitement just tickles me!
I am so pleased that you found my painting so pleasing to the eye..
If not for your kindness in sending the photo, this painting would not be.. so Merci cher ami!
Bisous, Penny
Your tasty little treat, sounds much like a "Dairy Queen" orange bar {not only delectable but also low cal}... always so nice to hear from you dear friend...sweet dreams...Rosie
Anita... bonjour!I have just popped in for a cup of tea with you. Perhaps we could go to Laduree next time and share one of their delectable confections!
These images above are truly beautiful and I love "script". Have you ever heard of Carolyn Quartermaine... she is a textile designer in London who does the most beautiful French script art on fabric. I use it in my interior design work. I think you would love it.
Your words are also beautiful and it is so true that the written word literally is so powerful!
Take care and have a wonderful day...M.A. the 2nd
Anita, I am new to your kingdom but I won't be for long! What an amazing place to visit. I too, LOVE the written word and am now educating myself on how to marry those words with my own photographs. It is such a luxury to scroll through your wondrous blog, tea cup in hand. It is simply transportive.... xx P&H {Your new subject in the Realm!}
Wow! What an inspiring post...the photos are amazing! I don't know how I've missed your blog...it's wonderful! I'm now a follower so I'll be back!
thank you for your lovely, encouraging words. I truly had the most wonderful childhood...how wonderful that WE CAN revisit it on a whim...such blessed gifts are our memories...sending a smile your way...love Rosie
Hello my friend! I send love to you and thanks for the wishes and sweetnesses! Take care hope to come back soon to catch up. Blessings and light.
Dear Anita
I see you came by for a visit today and left a very sweet message. Thank you!
Just had to drop in and soak up the beauty once more.
Enjoy your evening..
Bless you!
Penny
Dear Anita,
Thank you so much for caring....it is so nice, I read your comment and felt your warm heart across the atlantic ocean......
Strange as it is.. when feeling blue and sad, I read the blogs I follow.... but I am unable to comment.
Some blogs give me hope, renewed spirit and a laughter ...... so you are so important to me!!!!
I hope spring , flowers and sun will cure every sad heart.....
I am feeling better, things are settling down and life looks like it floats in a better direction again!!!
It may look cold and "Antarctic" in the pictures, and it was a bit of wind in the beginning but when we rested it was really hot....I mean; I could have almost have had a bikini on!!!!!
Thank you xxx
Dear Anita~
Thank you for visiting! I must have been very tired last night when I posted that blog because I thought I had saved it as a draft! I've added text this morning. Have a wonderful day, sweet friend!
Blessings!
Hello beautiful Anita...such a pleasure and such a treat that you could pop in to my graduation...thank you so very very much...always a pleasure!!! You are beautiful...Dzintra♥x
Good Morning Anita Sweetie...
Oh how I adore this beautiful post. I cannot tell you what inspiration I draw from you each and every time I come to visit. You have touched so many lives.
I enjoy your friendship and love, and I so enjoy reading what is happening with our mice friends. You and Reuben both have such a way with words and you share with your hearts to the hilt. I love this most. I can see your souls when you write.
I feel as though I see you dance each and every time I come, as you write so elegantly you just dance across your blog. You have touched my heart a thousand times over.
I have been so busy trying to get things done these last three weeks I have not gotten around as much as usual. Things will slow down when I am home again. Forgive me for not being as faithful at writing. I have been through an AZ tea, a baby shower and now getting ready to fly. Taking things to everyone has been quite the challenge of late.
Love ya sweetie. Have a beautiful week while I am gone. Stop by Marydon's I am sure we will post there. Many hugs and so much love....Sherry
Oh I just loooove your new headline picture - sooo green, lush and "Summer-y" - kind regards, Martina
Bonjour Anita
Thank you for visiting.
Have a wonderful day today.. I know you are looking forward to the weekend..

Oh Anita again such a beautiful post! You are such a delight to this blogging world of ours and we all should be thanking you. You write from the heart ♥ You are such a beautiful person. Thank you so much.
Good Morning Girlfriend, Yesterday you mentioned the fun you have wearing pretty jewelery and lovely flared skirts...how fun...and even better that your students notice...my mom had a 2-3 split FOREVER. She has since retired, but I have an old tin full of old brooches,mom used to wear...such a treasure...wishing you the best day...Rosie
