Before we left Rio de Janeiro, I  cross stitched -young girl in the rain- and let it framed. It was a gift for Amanda the granddaughter of our neighbours. When I met Amanda for the first time she was a sweet baby and now 5 years later she is a lovely and beautiful girl. She  is very talkative  and never forgets to give you  hugs and kisses.            Dear Amanda you are one of the wonderful Brazilians I will always remember.                    

I know it is a while ago since my last post. We have moved to New Orleans and staying in a temporary apartment in the Business District.  The French Quarter, the River Walk shopping, museums, restaurants, cinema, theatre  all is in walking distance.  My husband walks to his work and he loves it. The people of Nola are so friendly and talkative. On one of my walks through town I came across with a lovely shop in the Roosevelt Hotel and  look what they sold a beautiful hand embroidered cushion cover. Maybe I buy it one day or stitch it myself.
