This cigar box was given to me by my father. I used it to store letters from old girlfriends. When my father passed, the box became more valuable than its contents.

I pulled this from archive to take my mind off the snow that appears to be here to stay.. !
I'm sorry I haven't been around. Life continues to be too busy, and time has become quite precious. I do, however, find time to continue to enjoy your beautiful photos as they show up in my contact list .. and be sure to know they all put a smile on my face..
It was November, 2014...
So much to say, so many good things to wish for you all, but most of all, peace and harmony to you and your families. During these days of celebration and cheer, I usually stop and think about this special celebration, and how people show the best that they have inside, unique smiles on everybody's faces, and something else that I can't describe...
Another new year is around the corner, and I can't help to go back and think about the events that took place in it. Some of them brought smiles to my face, but so many others left me really concern...
We can make a better world for future generations to enjoy and leave in peace. Every little thing counts. Remember the ants? They are so small, and yet they can accomplish some much together!
Love and happiness to ONE and ALL!
Martha.
"So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young..."
( John Lennon )

One of the places I used to visit as a kid with my grandparents. It has changed a great deal now all the trees have grown over it. This is straight out of the camera, except for the framing.

Rolduc Abbey.
Rolduc abbey in Kerkrade is one of the most important religious monuments in the Netherlands. Rolduc is the largest abbey complex in the Benelux and one of the Dutch UNESCO Top 100 monuments.
For 35 years the buildings remained empty. In 1831, Rolduc Abbey was recommissioned by the Diocese of Liège for use as a seminary, a college training teenage boys for priesthood. After Belgium’s independence, this seminary moved to St. Truiden in Belgium and Rolduc Abbey was taken over by the Diocese of Roermond. Rolduc became a boarding school and grammar school (Gymnasium) for boys from Dutch wealthy families, among them several well-known politicians, scientists and writers of that time. From 1946 until 1967, Rolduc was once more a minor seminary, only now for the Diocese of Roermond. The boarding school closed in 1971; the Gymnasium closed in 2011.
