Well, today I had a spring cleaning virus. Yep, I cleaned my house like an alien had taken over my body. I always keep things CLEAN, but not always free of clutter. Today I cleaned out other closets, flipped mattresses, cleaned carpets, scrubbed floors on my hands and knees making sure all hidden dirt was washed up, and any other ridiculous act of cleanliness you can think of. But most of all I sorted through the clutter and found homes for things that have never had a home.
I am also a *single mom* this week. Mike is in Virginia looking at houses for the move in June. Since we're buying again to add to our rental property collection it seemed best to send him ahead so we can get the painfully slow mortgage process started before we even get there. I'm not a fan of living in hotels while waiting on the bank. Once this part of the process is over I can relax and enjoy the last 2 months we're here. I really do like this area and hope we retire here when Mike retires. I'm pretty sure this is where I'd like to call home.
Anyway, I'll be MIA most of this week since I'll be driving to Kentucky to spend the week and weekend with my family, and then Easter Sunday in Nashville with Mike's family. I'm SO looking forward to the week in Kentucky and spending some much needed time with my sisters. The one thing I've hated about the military lifestyle is being away from both of them. Jenny and I have a connection that is insanely close, even across the miles, but it's not the same to get a phone call or to make one when you feel something going on. Sissy, I miss you! See you on Wednesday!!
Wish me luck that I make the drive safe and sound. It will be me, the 2 girls, a dog, and a butterfly house with 4 chrysalises that haven't yet turned to butterflies. Not to mention that Alex hasn't been on a road trip since potty training a month ago. I hope we make it in one piece and with no peepee accidents in the car. Any thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated, LOL! (and yes, I'm packing Alex's training potty in the car *just in case* we have to stop on the side of the road...... If I pack it we won't need it, if I DON'T we absolutely will. I'm not tempting fate. Not this time.)
Walking through the woods with the constant company of the rain, observing the cleanliness and colors enhanced by the light that filters through the branches, awakens my admiration, giant black pines that are found in some areas of the Gorbea Natural Park, the vigilants of the ancient beech trees that we will find next to streams and waterfalls.
Pasear por los bosques con la constante compañia de la lluvia, observar la limpieza y los colores realzados por la luz que se filtra entre las ramas, despierta mi admiración, pinos negros gigantes que se encuentran en algunas zonas del parque natural del Gorbea, los vigilantes de las hayas milenarias que encontraremos junto a riachuelos y cascadas.
I had to make a detour and investigate job 20 this morning after I stumbled into it. The vintage GEs are waiting till the work is done (not exactly sure what the trucks were doing to the covered hoppers) before shoving into their train.
MNNR T-3 is starting to show a bit of its Conrail heritage through its red paint. Regardless of the locomotives' cleanliness I was thrilled to FINALLY get job 20 in Dinky Town.
known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, is a landlocked country located in the Great Lakes region of eastern-central Africa, bordered by Uganda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania.
Although close to the equator, the country has a cool temperate climate due to its high elevation. The terrain consists mostly of grassy uplands and gently rolling hills. Abundant wildlife, including rare mountain gorillas, have resulted in tourism becoming one of the biggest sectors of the country's economy.
Rwanda has received considerable international attention due to its 1994 genocide, in which an estimated 800,000 people were killed. Since then the country has made a recovery and is now considered as a model for developing countries. In 2009 a CNN report labeled Rwanda as Africa's biggest success story, having achieved stability, economic growth (average income has tripled in the past ten years) and international integration.The government is widely seen as one of the more efficient and honest ones in Africa. Fortune magazine published an article recently titled "Why CEOs Love Rwanda." The capital, Kigali, is the first city in Africa to be bestowed with the Habitat Scroll of Honor Award in the recognition of its "cleanliness, security and urban conservation model." In 2008, Rwanda became the first country to elect a national legislature in which a majority of members were women. Rwanda is, as of November 2009, a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, making the country one of only two in the Commonwealth without a British colonial past.

Meaning country name:
From the name of the people Vanyaruanda, a word of unknown origin, but obviously cognate to the name of Rwanda. Also known fondly as "Land of a Thousand Hills" (Pays des milles collines).
Description Flag:
The new flag of Rwanda was adopted on October 25, 2001.
The flag has four colours: blue, green, and two forms of yellow (standard yellow for the middle band and what the Pantone system calls "sun yellow" for the sun); the difference between the two yellows is barely noticeable.
The blue band represents happiness and peace, the yellow band symbolizes economic development, and the green band symbolizes the hope of prosperity. The sun represents enlightenment.
The flag was designed by Alphonse Kirimobenecyo
Coat of arms:
The current Coat of arms of Rwanda was restyled in 2001 to match the color scheme of the new national flag. The text reads "Republic of Rwanda-Unity, Work, Patriotism" in Kinyarwanda. The central tribal devices are surmounted on a cog wheel and encircled by a square knot.
The previous arms dated from the 1960s-the colors green, yellow and red represented peace; the nation's hope for future development; and the people. The arms and the flag itself were changed because they had become associated with the brutality of the Rwandan Genocide.
Motto:
" Ubumwe, Umurimo, Gukunda Igihugu "
National Anthem: Rwanda Nziza
KINYARWANDA LYRICS
Rwanda nziza gihugu cyacu
Wuje imisozi, ibiyaga n'ibirunga
Ngobyi iduhetse gahorane ishya.
Rekatukurate tukuvuge ibigwi
Wowe utubumbiye hamwe twese
Abanyarwanda uko watubyaye
Berwa, sugira, singizwa iteka.
Horana Imana murage mwiza
Ibyo tugukesha ntibishyikirwa:
Umuco dusangiye uraturanga
Ururimi rwacu rukaduhuza
Ubwenge, umutima, amaboko yacu
Nibigukungahaze bikwiye
Nuko utere imbere ubutitsa.
Abakurambere b'intwari
Bitanze batizigama
Baraguhanga uvamo ubukombe
Utsinda ubukoroni na mpatsebihugu
Byayogoje Afurika yose
None uraganje mu bwigenge
Tubikomeyeho uko turi twese.
Komeza imihigo rwanda dukunda
Duhagurukiye kukwitangira
Ngo amahoro asabe mu bagutuye
Wishyire wizane muri byose
Urangwe n'ishyaka, utere imbere
Uhamye umubano n'amahanga yose
Maze ijabo ryawe riguhe ijambo.
FRENCH LYRICS
Rwanda, notre beau et cher pays
Paré de collines, de lacs et de volcans
Mère patrie, sois toujours comblée de bonheur
Nous tous tes enfants : Abanyarwanda
Chantons ton éclat et proclamons tes hauts faits
Toi, giron maternel de nous tous
Sois à jamais admiré, prospère et couvert d’éloges.
Précieux héritage, que Dieu te protège
Tu nous as comblé de biens inestimables
Notre culture commune nous identifie
Notre unique langue nous unifie
Que notre intelligence, notre conscience et nos forces
Te comblent de richesses diversifiées
Pour un développement sans cesse renouvelé.
Nos valeureux aïeux
Se sont donnés corps et âmes
Jusqu’à faire de toi une grande nation
Tu as eu raison du joug colonialo-impérialiste
Qui a dévasté l’Afrique tout entière
Et te voici aise de ton indépendance souveraine
Acquis que sans cesse nous défendrons.
Maintiens ce cap, Rwanda bien-aimé
Debout nous nous engageons pour toi
Afin que la paix règne dans tout le pays
Que tu sois libre de toute entrave
Que ta détermination engage le progrès
Qu’excellent tes relations avec tous les pays
Et qu’enfin ta fierté te vaille estime.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Rwanda, our beautiful and dear country
Adorned of hills, lakes and volcanoes
Motherland, would be always filled of happiness
Us all your children: Abanyarwanda
Let us sing your glare and proclaim your high facts
You, maternal bosom of us all
Would be admired forever, prosperous and cover of praises.
Invaluable heritage, that God protects to you
You filled us priceless goods

Our single language unifies us
That our intelligence, our conscience and our forces
Fill you with varied riches
For an unceasingly renewed development.
Our valorous ancestors

As far as making you a big nation
You overcame the colonial-imperialistic yoke
That has devastated Africa entirely
And has your joy of your sovereign independence
Acquired that constantly we will defend.
Maintain this cape, beloved Rwanda,
Standing, we commit for you
So that peace reigns countrywide
That you are free of all hindrance
That your determination hires progress
That you have excellent relations with all countries
And that finally your pride is worth your esteem.

Absence of eyesores. The Municipality of Barili, Cebu is different from some other cities and towns in terms of certain aspects of general cleanliness. Practically there is an absence of unsightly posters, advertisement billboards, graffiti and abandoned junks. Open space is utilized for the planting of fruits and forests trees.
Well-maintained drainage and sewerage system. Drainage system in the public market and slaughterhouse and other public places are properly maintained as can be observed during the assessment. There are no garbage or litters inside the canals. Free-flow water is evident during the evaluation. De-clogging of drainage canal is regular and done by maintenance men of municipal government. Store and market stall owners also help prevent the clogging of canals with solid wastes by maintaining the cleanliness of their immediate vicinity.
Presence of well-kept public toilets. Public toilets are generally clean. These can be found practically in all public places. Comfort rooms in the municipal hall were found to be very well maintained and the same is true with those at the market, where the surroundings were planted with ornamental plants. Water is provided in all these comfort rooms.
Clean public market/slaughterhouse. Public market is generally clean, free from garbage and litters. Fish and meat stalls are provided with water for flushing. Garbage receptacles are present where collected wastes materials are place for disposal by the garbage collectors.
On the other hand, the municipal abattoir is well drained and properly maintained. No evident of scattered carcasses trimmings, were present, foul odor inherent to slaughterhouse are reduced to the minimum.
Presence of Trash receptades. Trash receptacles are color-coded. Each set three drums, painted red (for plastics), green (for tin cans and bottles), blue (for leaves, papers etc.). These garbage are collected daily by the two garbage trucks of the LGU.
Presence of Garbage collection and Disposal System. To complement the two garbage trucks that collect the garbage of the town daily, Barili was able to acquire four (4) mechanized grass cutters and shredder machine, which sheds big masses of garbage such as leaves to be decomposed in the compost pit. The decomposed materials can be used as organic fertilizer.
This unique variation on the Inter-City livery gracing this HST power car was mercifully short lived. As can be judged by the cleanliness of the roof this had only just been applied.

EBD NS 20N-03 leads stacks for Livernois Yard in Detroit, MI with my first "real" encounter with the Virginian Heritage. Took me long enough! Whiting, IN. Maybe a 180-dayer in the shops will bring some better cleanliness to this yellow and black beast!
Can you tell I don't like stuff/clutter? :P
If I don't use it regularly, I either give it away or get rid of it. I don't really believe in objectional sentimentality. Or dirtiness!

Hello dears,
I really strive for making a home what it can become, first of all, a home isn't complete without its the owner and I never really had a home. If you have followed me for a while, on social media platforms besides Flickr, I have always sighed for not having a home yet as an Interior Designer, you'd think I would. With the help of a creator, I was able to put some inspirational designs together which was then compiled into a house, by me adding my personal touches I was able to complete the home. It's a small single bedroom, 2 baths, living and kitchen space, perfect for myself since I don't live with anyone else but I. My last actual home was the Victorian desert house which I built myself out of prims, which I'll be selling soon, I think.. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my photos of my home. The home will also be located on a friends community where I'll be living, I suppose what's great about Second Life is you can take your home pretty much anywhere possible.
A dawn whipped by a violent wind, an almost unreal atmosphere of cleanliness at the foot of Monviso (3.842 m). It is time to stop and admire...

Wishing you all a HAPPY, HEALTHY, PEACEFUL and a BLESSED (LABOR DAY, for US friends) WEEKEND!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
or so I've heard......so if this true how come every time I try this cleanliness thingy my minds still so dirty?? Hahahahaha
On my leisurely walk through the old academic quarter of Groningen, I passed by the building erected in 1883 for the Laboratory of Hygienics once part of the pharmaceutical-medical department. It was built in 1883 and the main doorway boasts this rendition of the goddess of cleanliness and purity, Hygeia. The sculpture is by Emilius A.H. Bourgonjon (1841-1927), a Belgian who worked in The Netherlands.
The inset is of a wonderful Widow's Thrill, a Kalanchoè, that I saw in a shop more or less around the corner. Its whiteness symbol of purity. It's well known that astronauts and cosmonauts are subjected to dire hygienic norms on their flights. And, too, that those stays in far-off space can make one homesick. In 1979 Valery Ryumin (1939-) and Vladimir Lyakov (1941-2018) spent a long time in Salyut 6. Space loneliness weighed heavily on them, and to pick up their spirits a shipment of supplies from Earth also had a Kalanchoè plant. They were so thrilled by it that they named it 'Tree of Life'.
At the end of summer, at the beginning of September, I visited Bergen, the second largest city in Norway.
I arrived at the town at night, but the beauty of the warm sight of the windows
lit up in the houses was impressive and still haunts me.
Each street in the town is full of Scandinavian cleanliness and excellent taste, and is attractive.
"A vacuum is there for you to enter and fill up the full measure of your aesthetic emotion". O.K.
Read: www.scribd.com/doc/4796192/The-Book-of-Tea-Kakuzo-Okakuro
"The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism in the ordinary acceptance of the term, for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe. It represents the true spirit of Eastern democracy by making all its votaries aristocrats in taste".
Cleanliness is next to godliness. Macro Monday submission this week, plastic. Namely a soap dispenser.
