Once in a while something wonderful still happens
January 26th, 2011
For instance, Louis Comfort Tiffany’s own favorite masterpieces are now accessible to the whole world as Tiffany’s Laurelton Hall Restoration Opens in Winter Park, Florida, at the Morse Museum of American Art, including the magnificent Daffodil Terrace.
Try this link. It’s also on YouTube. Breathtaking.
The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art is at 445 North Park Avenue, Winter Park, Florida. For more information, visit their website or call 407-645-5311.
I’ll be adding this to my list of things to see and do the next time I travel to Florida. We are blessed in The Bahamas, as the wonders of the world are so accessible to us via daily flights, yet we have the wonders of sun, sand, sea and serenity right here at home.

Bahamians - Charitable People
January 6th, 2011
It never ceases to amaze me the way people jump in and help others in a time of crisis. Everyone is so busy these days it would seem there is no time left for considering the needs of others, but the way I’ve seen people pull together in support of the needy is truly inspiring. A few days ago an entire neighbourhood in New Providence burned to the ground leaving countless people homeless during the holiday season. Thanks to the wonders of modern techonology and so many driven and kind people, within hours an island wide collection of food and clothing was being organized in aid of the victims. What makes me most proud to live in this wonderful country is that Bahamians and residents from all over the world can pull together with very little preamble and get right to the purpose of helping. The Bahamas has many succesful charitable organizations that extend valuable assistance but what is really amazing to watch is how quickly people will give up their time and put aside their own problems in order to lend a hand.
I supposed this is just one of the many reasons visitors to the Bahama Islands fall in love and make it their permanent home.

Living and Celebrating on Harbour Island
January 3rd, 2011
One of the most exquisite and charming islands found nestled in the Bahamas is Harbour Island. This island gem has lured people in for years from many different parts of the world, yet remains authentically Bahamian in its rustic island beauty and rich Bahamian heritage.
The pink sandy beaches and the natural beauty of the island provide a favorite backdrop for international publications and many magazines, fashion designers, and photographers flock to the island to capture a piece of this wonderful and uninhibited essence. Condé Nast Traveler ranked Harbour Island as one of the “Best Beaches in The World.”
It is no small wonder that many people have chosen Harbour Island as a second home. The winter season is very active with many homeowners and residents riding their golf carts or strolling down the streets both day and night to partake in the lively shopping, dining and entertainment scene. I will never forget New Year’s Eve in Harbour Island, all of the Bay St. restaurants such as The Landing, Harbour Lounge and Rock House were full of diners and the whole island comes alive with excitement! Valentine’s Resort featured the famous live band “Brilander’s” and the marina, streets and hotels are full of happy visitors all coming together to celebrate the New Year in this secret island escape.
Junkanoo, hosted the next night on Bay St., is also truly amazing. Much smaller than Nassau’s beautiful and highly organized parade, this is an intimate and blow away experience. You can reach out and touch the dancers and musicians and many people take photos of the colorful and vibrant costumes. Almost everyone ends up rushing behind the parade on the street, dancing in unison to the sweet cow bell, drum and trumpet music.
For Harbour Island property sales, deals and inquiries please email me at . I have a special acreage property on the market that faces the tranquil bonefish flats of the harbour and sits on an elevation of 30ft. above sea level, please see http://www.bahamasrealty.bs/564921.
