yes, it's tulips' time once again. in Holland, Michigan, at this time of year there are millions of tulips for everyone to enjoy, but I've never been there. even in the upper peninsula where the grand hotel is, the setting of my favorite movie, "somewhere in time" i also just saw it in pics. it must be magical in there this time of year. rich people here in the u.s. had vacation homes up north, so they say.

if i think of magic, i think of the Niagara falls. we've been there twice. both in the Canadian and the New York side. a lot of people in love get married there or make it their honeymoon place, these are folks all over the world. no wonder for it is a stunning place to be. i remember the smell of the fresh floating mist of water touching my face as i walk at the edge of the cliff over looking this gorgeous waterfall as it cascades loudly down below. it is very very invigorating... to the soul and to the spirit second only to the sights and sounds you get in a beach. and it's true. when will be my next trip again? maybe when my brother will be here, God willing. his ten year visa as a tourist will be expiring soon, but never got around to visit me bec. of his business, while others can't even get a visa to come here. and here he is with a pass that he hasn't even used it yet, the irony...and yes, several times we've been to Toronto, Canada. it's only 4 hrs drive from here. maybe i can visit Brian, laughs. but he never even answered my e-mail, so i don't think it will happen, laughs. it's okay though, still i wish his success and happiness in the future. time heals broken hearts as the wind covers heavy foot prints etched in the sand...
