Three little friends

Once upon a time there were three little boys who played together a lot. They were neighbors and their Moms were friends. One of the Moms had dreams of becoming a photographer and she took photos of all the children in the neighborhood. This day happened to be a warm rainy day, and the boys all ran home to put on their firefighter rain-gear so they can keep having fun splashing in the puddles.

They all looked so cute that the Mom photographer asked them to play in from of the red fence. Many years later these boys are now teens and they no longer fit in their little firemen outfits, but the Mom photographer made her dream into reality and not gets to play with Brides on rainy days :)

P. S. Please excuse the quality, these were scanned from old 4×6′s.

 





My new boots, they’re red….who’s surprised? ;)

How cute are my new boots? Love them!! Got them with the $$ my Mom sent me for Christmas. Thanks Mom :) Happy Holidays everyone!!!  (Photo by Eric Burke)





Bride and Groom, Dracula’s Castle in Transylvania

Here are some favorite photos from my trip to Transylvania earlier this year. I thought this would be a good theme for today. Happy Halloween!!!

Please leave a comment :)





Happy Anniversary to us!

One of my favorite things I always look forward to every year is my husband’s anniversary message that he draws on the dry erase board.  To me it’s more romantic and meaningful than any present or card. Happy anniversary to my dear hubby, I love you!!





Bride and Groom, Dracula’s Castle Transylvania

My favorite photo from this series, full blog post coming soon. Yes, I did bring a read umbrella thousands of miles across the ocean ;)

Totally worth it, no?

:)

 





Transylvania 2, Brasov and Bran “Dracula’s Castle”

This is the Black Church in the beautiful City of Brasov in Transylvania.  The Black Church is the largest gothic church in Transylvania and it’s over 500 years old!!  Its name derives from damage caused by the Great Fire of 1689, when flames and smoke blackened its walls. The interior is beautiful and it has one of  largest organs in Eastern Europe. Unfortunately no photos were allowed inside.

 

From left to right, me, Eric, Mózes, Anetta (hi guys!) and our Church guide who recently met Nicolas Cage when he came to visit the Black Church.

It was cold and raining, but the colors were still so amazing.

The Town’s Square, where we had a nice American meal at KFC. My Hungarian guests declared it too spicy, HA! Most establishments have their own security to keep the ‘rif-raf’ out… also you need a code to get into the washrooms, the code can be found on your receipt, I found this funny, Eric loved it!

Oh looky what I found :)

Another view of the town’s square.

You can see the Black Church in the background here.

About an hour away from Brasov is the City of Bran. The moss covered house was beautiful, right at the base of Dracula’s castle.

Bran Castle, one of Dracula’s many Castles. The legend is based on a real Prince, Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (1431–1476) or ”Vlad Tepes”

Yes, I do realize the irony of a cross at the base of the castle ;)

“What do you mean I can’t climb over the fence to get up the hill?”

The entrance.

One of the coolest things is the secret staircase.

The view from the top.

The courtyard.

Eric feeding the strays.

More coming soon :) I’m also on Facebook!
