| 9th December 2007 Michele Bock | - From: Christkindlmarkt in Chicago What a great journal and what a great place. Lisa, the picture of you is terrific -- just like I remember you. You're so beautiful. Thanks for keeping on with your travelog. |
| 4th December 2007 Judy Lazarus | Thanks for taking me back - From: Christkindlmarkt in Chicago I never lived in Chicago, but I lived in Boston and loved it. The city in winter was beautiful and exciting. Your description of Chicago and the pictures took me back to my days in Boston. But, oh, I would love to see Chicago. I've only seen O'Hare. MERRY CHRISTMAS! |
| 29th November 2007 Deb B | Still laughing - From: Things We Like About Great Britain Hey...I enjoyed the whole blog but was particularly humored by the reference to number 1 in the directions part. Too funny. Helen looks very friendly, too. Hugs...Deb |
| 22nd November 2007 Carl | AGREED - From: Things We Like About Great Britain Dear Two, So true and well observed! Kindest, Carl |
| 19th October 2007 Leisette | Boy King of Memphis - From: British Museum II - Mummies! Dear Anonymous, Very good. I remember showing Elvis in a King Tut outfit in Art Appreciation class. Were you, by chance, a student in my art appreciation class? |
| 18th October 2007 anonymous | - From: British Museum II - Mummies! Its not really that unusual to find an Egyptian mummy portrait that looks like Elvis... he is the god of Memphis... |
| 9th October 2007 Jamie | Looking Good - From: The Victoria and Albert Museum Hi Leisa As usual you have taken some fabulous photo! I think this is what you should do for a living. Travel the world to all the fabulous places to see, and take pictures of all of it, and of course give us your commentary. You are so good at this. It could be a best selling book as well. love Jamie |
| 9th October 2007 Shannon | Winchester Cathedral - From: Winchester Cathedral Leisa your photos are beautiful. As usual your narratives well written and enlightening. It still makes me sad that I did not get there. Love, Mom |
| 8th October 2007 Jana | - From: The Victoria and Albert Museum Facinating photographs, thank you for sharing!! |
| 4th October 2007 Jamie | Fabulous Photo's - From: Winchester Cathedral Leisa These pictures are awesome.! After I read everything you wrote about your day at the Cathedral I scrolled down to look at all the pictures and I sware I felt the energy of ancient times. I felt like I was standing with you in the cathedral feeling the the vastness of this magnificent place. You are a fabulous photographer as you feel a part of what you take pictures of. Love Jamie |
| 4th October 2007 Azriel | thank you - From: British Museum II - Mummies! Aunt Leisa Thank you for talking pictures of the mummies for me. I really like them allot. They were the best. I like the one of Artemidorous the most because of your funny comment about him. Love Azriel |
| 3rd October 2007 Jamie | thanks for the museum tour - From: British Museum II - Mummies! Leisa These pictures are fabulous! It is amazing how much time and energy they put into the coffins. The detail work is wonderful. I think it would be very cool for us to do this in this day and age. Thank you for sharing your visit with the rest of us. Love Jaime |
| 2nd October 2007 Deb B | Two Mummy Cases - From: British Museum II - Mummies! These shots were all fascinating but my favorite was the woman mummy case...I love how the detail they captured where you see her little bit of a tummy and the wrinkles in the fabric. Oh no, I must be punch drunk...mummy tummy. Sorry. |
| 2nd October 2007 anonymous | - From: British Museum II - Mummies! Dear Leisa, Once again another pinnacle of participation! You will return to the States as GB-experts. Reminds me of my visit in the mortuary at 12 for my report on the circulatory system. Thank you and Kindest, Carl |
| 2nd October 2007 Christine Palmer | - From: British Museum II - Mummies! I STILL think mummies are cool and fascinating! |
| 2nd October 2007 Tracey | Hi! - From: British Museum II - Mummies! Interesting... looking at these pictures takes my mind on a journey to wonder what their lives were and what happened to them. Brain Time Warp. I'm glad your back. I've been missing your blogs. First thing I did this morning was to see if you had posted. Call me a junkie. :) |
| 1st October 2007 Leisette | Your hair cut. - From: Vidal Sasson - Hair is another word for sex Dear Amber, Please send me a photo showing your hair cut. Sorry I forget to take one when you were here. |
| 1st October 2007 Leisette | Let us know - From: Hampton Court Dear Amber, I tasted goose at a Polish restaurant in Berlin and thought it was a little greasy, some what like duck, although the flavor was better than duck. |
| 1st October 2007 Leisette | Who wrote this comment? - From: And Now for Something Completely Different -Texas! Hi Anonymous. Thanks for the comment. You say I know you and I believe it, but you comment was sent anonymously. Please write me a private message with your identity. |
| 1st October 2007 anonymous | - From: And Now for Something Completely Different -Texas! Leisa, These are truly lovely. You know I love the beauty of storms and nature. These photos are powerfully beautiful. |
| 1st October 2007 Amber | I wonder... - From: Hampton Court I wonder how Canadian geese taste? |
| 1st October 2007 Amber | - From: Vidal Sasson - Hair is another word for sex You look cute as ever and so does Ah-Lee. I am still enjoying my cut and get compliments from the folks whose opinion I respect. My cut really grew on me, particularly after I had a chance to play with it |
| 1st October 2007 Amber | - From: Amsterdam- playground of the Stars What fun! It is good to see you and Jay had such a fantastic visit in Amsterdam. Both Mark and I really enjoyed Amsterdam. It was one the only places we visited that he said he could imagine living for a few years. I feel certain all the water and boats had something to do with his reaction. What struck me most was the happiness in everyone's face, from the very young to the very mature. Now, tell more, possibly there were a few off-line visits, like the red-light district and the coffee shops. I hear they have really good coffee. |
| 28th September 2007 Sharyn BC | Brings Back Great Memories - From: Amsterdam- playground of the Stars Leisa, While all your blogs have been great, this is my favorite. I am currently visiting my sister Linda in the East Bay and was able to share this one with her. We first saw Amsterdam in 1957 -- this brings back great memories. Loving your blogs -- but can't wait until you return to Prairie Crossing! Sharyn |
| 27th September 2007 Bill Scott | - From: Amsterdam- playground of the Stars Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Ben Kingsley all in one trip... It really does look like the Titanic, doesn't it? Hey Shannon! How ya doing? |
| 26th September 2007 Shannon | Amsterdam - From: Amsterdam- playground of the Stars Your pictures are gorgeous and the narrative wonderful as usual. My problem is I am sad that I will never most of these beautiful things. If you hadn't lived in Berlin, I would not have seen that either. So thank you for being my tour guide then and now. Love, Mom |
| 26th September 2007 Carl E Gross | Great Depictions! - From: Amsterdam- playground of the Stars Dear Leisa, Your description of the Jewish Bride and Ben Kingsley's persona are, as the Germans say, famos! Keep it up, all the best to you and Jay and your travels + Kindest, Carl |
| 26th September 2007 Deb B | - From: Amsterdam- playground of the Stars Once again, you made my day. My brother spent some time in Holland on business...he is a sign maker who is frequently commissioned to do the signage for some of the big cruise lines; sometimes there are perks like having to spend time in Holland ;-) He made his living as a musician for many years and still plays his guitar regularly. He has written some very moving and beautiful songs. He wrote one about the streets of Holland. I wish he had a recording of it, I would send it to you. Okay...back to work. Hugs!!!! Deb |
| 19th September 2007 Shannon Schultz | Texas - From: And Now for Something Completely Different -Texas! I too was amazed at the sunsets and the sky going on forever. I sure don't miss the snow of Missouri, but there are other things I do miss. Texas is okay except for their politics. Love, Mom |
| 19th September 2007 Bill Scott | - From: And Now for Something Completely Different -Texas! Beautiful work. What sort of camera did you use to get those great colors? |
| 19th September 2007 Tracey | Thanks for the memories - From: And Now for Something Completely Different -Texas! What a gift you have... I have tried many times to capture the beauty of nature in the sky. I would wait with great anticipation for the pictures to return, only to feel the disappointment of 'no, that's not what I saw.'... Great Job Leisa.. That is part of what I remembered about living the great state of Texas. Love ya. |
| 19th September 2007 Britt | Wow! - From: And Now for Something Completely Different -Texas! Wow! You must have had a great camera... Britt |
| 19th September 2007 Deb B | Oh boy...now I will be doing Monty Python impersonations all day ;-) - From: And Now for Something Completely Different -Texas! Hey Leisa! Great photos and blog title. Hope all is well with you and Jay. Always a pleasure to check out the latest entries although time doesn't always allow for a response. Hugs...Deb |
| 13th September 2007 Carl E Gross | Great Text re Country Eats - From: Tally Ho! at the Romsey Show Dear Leisa and Jay, Lovely outing, lovely pictures, lovely food. I assume that one must be very clear with one's self if one (or two) wish to avoid expansion! That might be true for life in the country ... ? Especially: lovely text. All the best and Kindest, Carl |
| 10th September 2007 Shannon | General - From: Tally Ho! at the Romsey Show I hesitate to add many comments, since they might be considered bias, as your mother. Your narratives are simply wonderful. You paint word pictures as well as the ones on canvas. I bask in the light you shine. Love, Mom |
| 6th September 2007 Carl E Gross | Gee Whiz! - From: Safari Park at Longleat Dear Two, Gee whiz, being there must be like simultaneous experiences in the wilds of Afrika and South America! Thanks for sharing, see you soon + Kindest, Carl |
| 5th September 2007 Steven Benezue | Sasoon Hair - From: Vidal Sasson - Hair is another word for sex Your new doo looks FAB-YOU-LUSS Dahling! |
| 5th September 2007 judy | - From: Safari Park at Longleat i love the llama and zebra.... what a whimsical smile! |
| 4th September 2007 Jamie | Love your hairstyle - From: Vidal Sasson - Hair is another word for sex Leisa the hair stlye looks great! How cool to get to visit so many different places. What great memories you two are creating. Love Jamie |
| 4th September 2007 Tracey | Very interesting - From: Basingstoke is not "Boringstoke" Maybe this is where the word 'eclectic' was derived. One thing for sure is you don't have to go far to see a different style. And, I loved the quote from Shakespeare. Absolutely correct.. |
| 4th September 2007 Rob Roden | UK Graffiti - From: Eurydice in Basingstoke I've long followed the UK graffiti scene. Have you come across any works by Banksy? I think you both would enjoy his satirical work. http://www.banksy.co.uk/ I really enjoy reading the travel blog. Thanks for sharing your trip. |
| 4th September 2007 judy | never been there... - From: Shakespeare's Birthplace thanks for the tour... ! |
| 1st September 2007 Christine | - From: Vidal Sasson - Hair is another word for sex Your new hairstyle is so cute! I'm enjoying all your blogs - they are very entertaining. Hope that you have a great weekend! |
| 31st August 2007 Erin | - From: Vidal Sasson - Hair is another word for sex very chic...you're a trusting soul...i could never! glad to see that you are both still enjoying your time abroad. |
| 29th August 2007 carl | Great Comments - From: Shakespeare's Birthplace Dear Two, Thanks for the guided tour -- I really felt like having been there myself! See you mid-September + Kindest, Carl |
| 28th August 2007 Deb B | This was my favorite yet! - From: Castles in Wales How incredible to walk where you can imagine the lives these people led. I think it would be almost overwhelming to take everything in. The castles were phenomenal. I am glad you wanted to see these kinds of castles and not just the castles of the rich. Those would be fascinating too but the emotions their history conjures up seems almost sanitary compared to Caerphilly and Caldicot castles...I can imagine them appealing to my more basic, raw senses and really getting my imagination going. Wow! Thanks again. |
| 28th August 2007 Tracey | National Portrait Gallery - From: National Portrait Gallery, London Wow, I loved the man in the blue hat portrait.... i just had to keep staring at it. I had the feeling of wanting to reach out and touch him. |
| 28th August 2007 Tracey | Castles - From: Castles in Wales Ahhhhhhhhh what a way to start my work day! And I now also have great photos downloaded that I can use as backgrounds. I tend to take several mini-mind vacations when I have a beautiful picture to look at. It's a great way to reduce stress. The map attached is awsome! I loved seeing the route taken in ralation to the area. And it's always nice to have a geography refresher. Luv ya :) |
| 24th August 2007 Shannon | Castles - From: Hampton Court I wish I was strolling through those halls with you. I'v read so much about it, I can just picture everything. I really wish I was going to see it. Your descriptions are so vivid, your wonderful. The flowers are glorious. Love, Mom |
| 24th August 2007 Shannon | Jay's view of you - From: Travel blog is back online! Jay's view of you is beautiful and I certainly agree with that. He looks very hansome and happy too. Miss you. Love, Mom |
