Just a quick note to reassure you that we are safe in Turkey, far from the earthquake. A funny thing happened while waiting for our flight to Istanbul in the Paris airport. A blog follower named Nobuco from Columbia (S. America) recognized me when we sat next to each other while waiting for our respective planes. I didn’t think I was noticeable, but she asked, “Are you the blogger who sews?”. One thing I have noticed about women my age outside of the US (or New England), is that there are very few of us who keep our hair naturally gray, so we stand out.
Turkey is an amazing country and I’m taking pictures to share later. We’re eating lots of figs.
And Clementines.

Make clementine candles if you get a chance…:)

So relieved to learn that you are safe. Wonderful pics as usual.
Thank you for sharing.

I knew you were okay. Just thought you were having too much fun to write.
Hi, Sally.
I am very happy to hear that you are safe in Turkey.
Thank you very much to mention my name! Ha,ha,ha,
Nobuko
That’s good news………..continue to enjoy everything!!!
It looks like you are having fun! Glad you are safe and that’s so cool about meeting a blog reader!
Mercy! I saw the first photo and thought that was you, wrapped up in bandages or emerging covered in plaster dust from a fallen building after the quake! Glad I enlarged it and studied it a bit before worrying any further.
Good to hear you’re safe and enjoying the bounty of the land. My parents just got back from Turkey (a trip to celebrate my father’s retirement) and called it “the trip of a lifetime.” Such an extraordinary place!
I adore Turkey. Eat, drink and be merry, darlings!
Okay, Salley, I just have to know about your costume,….please explain. What gorgeous pictures of the fruit…..inspiration everywhere, seems to me! Have a wonderful time.
OK, I’m standing behind an ancient marble statue that lost its head. We found it while touring the castle in Bodrum.
That is fantastic that you and a blog reader met up that way in Paris! What a small world!
I guess that is true about our graying hair in New England…though I hadn’t given that much thought!
Have fun on your trip…those figs and clementines look great!
Türkiye için yazdıklarınız ve güvenli bulmanız beni çok mutlu etti. Ben de sizin keçe tablolarınıza hayranım .Sevgiler.
Thank you so much Salley. My daughter will love seeing these photos of beauty and calmness. These are lovely.
