Summer… it’s what you have been waiting for all winter- right? Sunny, hot, sticky, shirt sticking to your back, burning steering wheel, furnace blast heat as you step out of your air-conditioned digs. The ice-cream you had an hour ago just isn’t cooling you down. Can’t wait for the weekend! Maybe get out of the city, a bike ride, a trip to the mountains, and a swim in the lake or find a cool forest to walk in!
Well, 200-300 years ago the people in Europe had exactly the same ideas. Hot summers drove the city population to the beautiful lakes, landscapes and cool forests with streams and paths. All of these were ultimately woven into magnificent tapestries. Today these wall tapestries, known as landscape tapestries look a lot like our lakes, streams, and cool tranquil walks in the woods. The Italian tapestries primarily give us the rolling Tuscan countryside as depicted in Giardino Italia, Tuscan Retreat, Renaissance Verdure and floral views of Lake Como in the Terrace, while the French tapestries give us the forest scenes of Clairmarais Forest Brook, the expansive scene of Chateau Fontainbleau, Verdure with Columns and many more. All of these European tapestries not only capture the beauty of Europe, but give us summer all year round to enjoy on our walls- without the perspiration!
So it stands to reason, that when the winter winds are blowing and it’s snowing or raining outside, those large tapestries on our wall reminding us of summers cool forest walks along a babbling brook, a swim at the lake, or the landscape views will keep us warm with promises of glorious days of summer to come.

The reason why I took time as I am shopping for my groceries on the supermarket is because I spend more time on looking for the products which offer freebie. I also ask the customer service for the freebies that I could avail as I am shopping on their supermarket. But when my daughter told me that I do not have to bother going on the supermarket these days but instead buy for the shopping needs online, I cannot help myself worried that I cannot find freebies anymore. She sees my sudden sadness after she told me about the online shopping she was aware on how I enjoy buying good with freebies and claim for it. She then told me that I do not have to worry that I will not be able to avail freebies because on the internet there is also free stuff that I could avail as I shop online. I can be sure to find and get some free stuff on the Internet as I enjoy browsing on the shopping sites. The advantage that shopping online can offer me was the convenience that it could give me that I do not have to bother walking on the supermarket to find products because I will just have to search and browse for it easily.

I wanted to be prepared on all of the things that I would be doing especially if it will be a family activity. If the activity would be at home I do not have to bother packing and checking for all the things that we needed. But when the activity would be outdoor it is a lot different. I have to be prepared and have a list every time that there will be a travel and outdoor fun activity. Last year we had a camping and hiking on the province where my cousin live. He was working abroad and he went home last year to visit his family. I was the one who fetch him on the airport as his thank you for me he invited me and my family to have a vacation on their house near a mountain. My wife and I thought that it would be a good idea on bringing the children on places like that. There are so many things to prepare like the hiking boots for the boys, my trail running shoes that I often wear for outdoor activity and also the sleeping bags for the camp. This coming summer we are planning to have some beach vacation, so before the end of the month I would be completing my list and my idea so that when the time come, I do not have to be stress out.
