St Mark's Square, Venice, Italy 2004.....being loved by pigeons!
Havana, Cuba, Feb 2003 - It was fun being driven around in these yellow Coco taxis.
Somewhere in Cuba, Feb 2003 - Plowing a field...only pretending!

I can't wait until we have some of those memories together.
Peggy,
Great photos, and great memories! I think that little yellow taxi looks like loads of fun!!
What memories you must have! Fun memories at that. Thanks for sharing the pictures.... You definitely look happy on your adventurous travels!
Great song again to go along with your post. And "River" is one of my favorites. I love to sing along with Sarah.
What a seasoned traveller and a generous person. You looked so cool with the cigar! ;)
Thanks for the loving comments in my blog and the emails. You surely bring joy to my Christmas. Thanks again! :D
I like the first picture best (with the pigeons). very cool. ;D
The photos are priceless! How wonderful it is to cherish beautiful memories..I love the ploughing photograph..It seems so natural...
Dear sweet friends, I was feeling a bit sad today for no particular reason or maybe because I sense some of my friends sadness but coming here and reading these lovely comments really cheered me up.
You all make such a difference....yes you do and don't ever forget it. Your kindness is contagious, it is a proven fact.
The memories I have from blogging will be cherished for many years.
Bless you all, keep shining your light and I will do the same.
Love

Totally gorgeous!
I especially loved the one in St. Mark's Square with the pigeons. Just wonderful.
Happy Christmas. xxxx
Thanks Sarah, seeing that photo again with the pigeons takes me right back in time. Venice is such a magical place, a place where you literally get lost all the time.
We were there for a week and I think only on the last day was I able to find my way back to the hotel without getting lost.....but I love getting lost, you come across some interesting places.....never to be found again the next day! :)
Delightful post and blog you have. I have not heard that song before from The Pretenders. Thank you for sharing miruspeg. Blessings.
Awesome photos! I have never had the pleasure of being loved by pigeons...seriously, that would be so cool!
You have led a very interesting life...very different from my life here in IL. That is why I love your blog! :)
It's so much fun to have experiences that you love - when you look back at them , it brings back the pleasure.
Glad you explored so many places and tried the things that you did :)
thanks for sharing your lovely memories and have a great Christmas and New Years as we head into the new decade (scary to think 10 years can go by so fast)
Oh what a life you've had! May you continue to experience life to its fullest. I , for one, have been enriched by knowing you. May you continue on your journey of enlightenment. You energy is contagious and brings joys to many. I Love the photo's you share. Thank you Peggy for being YOU! Blessings. Love and Light, Nina P
What a smashing looking bird in Venice...! Some lovely photos, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing wonderful pictures of all those memorable travel moments you've been privileged to experience. Looks like you've had some fantastic adventures! Yesterday I posted about Wadi Rum in Jordan so have a look. Holiday blessings :) Tammy
You lovely folk enrich my life more than you realise. I love visiting your blogs and seeing life through your eyes.
I feel so blessed, I say this over and over but it true.
You all inspire me in different ways, inspire me to shine, inspire me to share, inspire me to learn, inspire me to love, inspire me to be compassionate.....do you understand the gratitude I feel.
I treasure you one and all....these are not just words believe me.
May we all have wonderful adventures in 2010 in a peaceful and safe world.
Namaste

thank you.
Laura
Ha ha! We have something very important in common, Peggy. I have a snapshot of me smoking a cigar too!
My best wishes to you and your family for a very Happy Christmas!
Kat
These photos are really great, and I hope that you and your family have a happy holiday season.
I had seen the photos in FB, but they take a different dimension here...beautiful. :)
I'm so glad we met, and that we even had the opportunity to share some real time together...looking forward to our next encounter.
I am also always delighted when I come to your blog because the music always transports me into some wonderful world.
This time it kicked with Joni Mitchel, couldn't be better.
Lots of love, huge huggzz and the best woshes for this new year :)
Huggzzzz
Such wonderful photos Peggy. You have experienced so many incredible things. Isn't it fun to go back through old photos and remember those special times? Thank you for sharing. I wish you a very blessed Christmas and a beautiful New Year. Hoping that 2010 brings much peace, love and happiness to you. I am so glad to know you!! XOXOXO
Happy Christmas to you and yours Peggy.
Hey I love this post!! That photo in St Marc's Square is brilliant! You are right - Venice is the sort of place where you just wander along and then chance upon something magical.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas - and a memorable 2010!
P.S. Thank you for your friendship - a blessing in my life. :o)
Thankyou for your beautiful comments. I do treasure your friendship enormously.
My Christmas wish is that everyone reading this goes out and hugs someone.....heck just hug everyone. You might never know it, but your hug might just make the difference for someone who is struggling at this time of the year.
Keep shining your light, one person can make a difference.
Lots of love
Peggy xxxx
Peggy, I am cracking up so much at you plowing the field...LOL
You have such a beautiful and fun-loving spirit...so much light and love. It shows through so much in your pictures, and really every day in your words.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas filled with love and all things wonderful! I miss you and blogging. I've been so busy and unable to visit.
Have a wonderful day today!
Love,
Kelly
Thanks for your lovely comment Kelly.
I am pretty sure your Christmas will be filled with love and fun times.....mine was, I had an excellent day, so blessed to have a great family and wonderful friends.
Look forward to reading your next post whenever you find the time, no pressure, just when you feel like it.
Hugs and love
Peggy
Great shots of a happy life :)
Merry Christmas

Oh no worries there Peggy! I'm a 'hug monster'. People never enter or leave my house without one! Remind me to tell you the story about 'The plumber' some time.... my sister still has fits of giggles over it.
Peggy- I'd love to visit those places, though not much for cigars and pigeon poop. Great photos and memories. Could use a hug, actually. ~rick
Well Rick here comes a monster hug(((((((((RICK)))))))).
I have hugged and been hugged so much over the last couple of days I know they will sustain me right through 2010 if needed.
Keep shining you beautiful man.
Peggy
PS I will send Stoneweaver your way as well....she is the hug monster and the best teller of real life stories I know!!
I am in awe of the life you lead! Keep it up though because I'm living vicariously through you!
Steph here you are reading my blog when I was just over reading your blog....the angels are having fun!!!
We are both living such a blessed life, very different but very blessed. Your stories and photos about your family make me feel so close to you.
Thank you angels for bringing us together!
hmm I left a comment but it disappeared. Anyway just wanted to say Im glad to know you, you are one cool lady.
