      • Watching your photos I am glad I have 10 days of Southern California in sight in October. This limits my yearning a little… 😉 But to be honest, I said to my husband yesterday, that we really should think about Croatia for a vacation.It is not that far away… so…. we’ll see… at least it caught me thanks to you!

      • It is my 8th time in California (always around the same area) within 5 1/2 years. I simply love it like my second home. In October I am there (in Pasadena) at the HayHouse event “I Can Do it!” where all their authors are giving lectures and workshops. Acutally it is a business trip since I am there as an official author for book signing! I am very excited about it!

      • He lived in Vukovar with his mother’s family. They came back to America after his father died in World War I. After I found out that information I have wanted to visit to see what more records I could find! A visit is something I plan for the future 🙂
