nido = nest

So I'm totally in love with MINI Coopers. Everyone who knows me knows that. But look what I found here. It's called a Nido, which means "nest" in Italian. It's a concept car from Pininfarina, the Italian masterminds behind such beautiful cars as the Ferrari 330 GTC, the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, and the Alfa Romeo Spider.

I'm not really a car person. But I appreciate beauty when I see it. And I appreciate cute when I see it. And this is definately cute.

happy earth day!!

So Earth Day is upon us once again. While I appreciate the attention given to our planet on this day, I can't help but feel cynical about the fact that attention of this sort should be given to our Earth daily. Make it a part of your life. I'm not going to preach or get on my soapbox proclaiming the values of recycling (though there ARE values), I am going to ask that everyone make it a goal to do at least one thing daily that improves our lives here and the lives of those around us.

On that note, here are a few cute photos I found that bring this Earth Day to mind.

a little taste of paradise...

My husband and I took a little jaunt down to Maui a few months back. Maui is wonderful, isn't it? This wasn't our first trip down, and definately won't be the last. Can't wait until next time.

Here are just a few pics, I'll get more up later.
