When you’re staying in an Airbnb and you find an old record player with 1960s records …. A transport to less complicated times As we were hiking in stunning Arizona, we noticed these balloons rising up in the air. Such a memorable scene! When you wake up before the sun to start a new adventure . I liked walking through this section of O’Hare, thought I’d share. My first sight of Cordoba! The Great Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is so worth a visit! Learn about it in my latest blog post: He came to say good morning  so I clicked my shutter! A Barcelona landmark by the water. Fiery sunrise in Tampa.

My first book is on Amazon !

It highlights the story of my family's leaving Lebanon and making a life for us in South Carolina. It’s an easy, quick read which was well received as evidenced by its Amazon reviews. It will make you smile, may bring about a tear or trigger a beautiful buried memory of your own childhood.
