Kein Mensch liebt wirklich einen anderen, wenn er nicht eine gewisse Ehrfurcht ihm gegenüber fühlt.

We are truly blessed to have a dear friend, Bob Boyajian, who lives in beautiful, Newport, Rhode Island, one hour from here. Bob is one of the last living "true gentlemen" on this earth! We get together a few times a year to celebrate birthdays and holidays. Yesterday we were honored to attend an exhibit in which he is participating at the Redwood Library.
Please take a moment to click here for a review!

As we were walking to the show, I caught a glimpse of this European-like tea room and clicked Bob and me in the mirror! (We have become our own framed artwork!)

ENJOY! And, if you're in the area, be sure and see Bob's exquisite calligraphy!

note: "The Redwood Library and Athenæum is the oldest lending library in America, and the oldest library building in continuous use in the country. Founded in 1747 by forty-six proprietors upon the principle of "having nothing in view but the good of mankind," its mission continues over 250 years later."
