Hello lovely girls. Today is Friday again and time to count our blessings and remember the smiles of the past week. I always start with a postcard, as a postcard in my mailbox is always worth a smile:
The text translates as: "Peace of mind, cheerfulness and contentment are the foundations of all happiness, health and long life." (Quote by C.W.Hufeland)
It was sent by somebody in Germany called Kristin.
The stamp is 'wacky':
Wacken Open Air is a heavy metal music festival, held annually since 1989 on the first weekend of August in the village of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Almost all styles and subgenres of hard rock and metal are represented and hosted. Wikipedia
Last Friday I was on my way to the Costa del Sol for a fun weekend of worship and teaching at the yearly women's conference of Next Church in Fuengirola.
They had sold many more tickets than last year and their usual venue in Fuengirola wasn't going to be big enough, so they changed the venue to La Cala de Mijas. We hadn't yet booked our accomodation so it wasn't a problem for us.
I went with my friend Antonia and another lady from Granada who we picked up on the way.
Our ground floor apartment is seen here on the right. It was beautiful and clean and had absolutely everything. And the beach was at the end of the street (where you see the palm tree).
I managed to meet up with my sister, who lives in the next village. She had visitors so we couldn't stay at her's, but she managed to 'escape' and we went for lunch. The parking was difficult in this resort but we found one space....right next to my car. (The grey car is mine and the yellow one is my sister's).
Of course we went for a walk along the boardwalk, which was paved in places. The weather was excellent. Not too cold or too hot.
I had to have a picture taken with this bronze donkey as I have a friend who keeps donkeys.
That is all from me today folks. I'll go and link up with Annie at A Stitch In Time for some more smiles.
Of course there will be a few funnies at the end. But for now I'll say: Have a lovely weekend and until next time.
Hugs,
Lisca
Nobody knows what this sign means....

I´ll never understand the Wacken-hype, but these people are - despite of the agrressive music - freindly and peaceful!
Your house there looks beautiful.
You´re in a t-shirt?! We have 1C here...
Fun pics of you (two/three).
Thanks for the smiles, too, have a great Friday!
Gosh that brings back memories as we stayed at Fuengirola many years ago, just as well that you'd not booked somewhere to stay though but you sorted it and the place looked nice. Looks like you all had a great time. Love the donkey they are such sweet creatures. Great funnies today too. Have a good weekend. Hugs Angela xXx
Glad the conferencewent well. Fuengarola is a pleasant place to visit and I remember going up to Mijas and seeing all the donkey 'taxis'. I doubt they still have those.The conference was certainly well attended.
My son would enjoy the Waken festival, especially if he was up there playing the drums for a while.
Plenty to smile at this week. Kate x
It looks like you had a lovely time. Love the funnies too.
Hugs,
