Street of Trees

By | Nature | 8 Comments

This is Heart2Heart’s most favorite street ( Pasay road, Dasmariñas Village )  in Manila!  It’s rare to find greens in the city and this street just changes everything- just drive through it from beginning to end – the whole street is just a beautiful arch of trees from each side meeting in the middle.  Being in the city, I guess you cannot avoid those wires crosssing all over the place

Outside Manila, I took this photo in 2004 in Calatagan from inside the car – also beautiful

Pepper Mills

By | Foodie, Great Inventions | 3 Comments

 Thanks to the pepper mill collector and expert,  Gaita,  for the pepper mills!  James is very picky he made sure we got the correct kind so we had to ask your expert advice!

We are so excited to use them!  Every home should have a peppermill to freshly grind pepper.  I never saw the importance of this before but now, we cannot live without it!  Heart2Heart loves salt and pepper mills!

I like how Gaita personalizes her pepper mills  – she paints over them. My next one will probably be pink with hearts on it! 🙂
