New York State of Mind
Serenity
Being surrounded by calm water sources be it ponds, rivers or seas have always provided me with a sense of peace and tranquility; it allows my thoughts to flow freely and makes me feel grounded.
Every time I get the opportunity to be outside (weather permitting) I just think about all the parks that surround me pick one and head out to explore. Life is good 😊
Biltmore Estate in Asheville North Carolina
Impressive and expansive grounds, include: a house, gardens, winery and village. Website: biltmore.com
The grounds are beautifully maintained, it speaks of the opulence enjoyed by the Vanderbilt family in days gone by. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark and one of North Carolina’s most popular tourist destinations and it is known as America’s largest home.
The home boasts a collection of artwork of more than 92,000 thousand items including works by Monet, Renoir and more. The tapestries alone are worth the visit.
The 250 room home’s construction began in 1889 and officially opened to family and friends in 1895.
My favorite animal
I am by far a dog person, there’s always been one in most phases of my life; beginning when I was a young child when there were times we had two or more dogs competing with me and my four siblings, to my parents exasperation 🤣.
These days, after retirement I content myself by being available when needed to babysit my grandchildren (no longer babies) and our furry grand baby a Shih Tzu named Suede.
Pets are part of the family they are loved 🥰 and cherished and they can sense how you feel about them; you cannot fool them. We love our little “Suede”, whoof!
