MEANWHILE AT CASA DU BORGHESE....

 A few more days till we return back to normal programing and caught up her at the Casa du Borghese, what with being gone since September 2nd! And that ugly, ugly word...Monday which means for me back to work also. Curses! But first, I huge thank you for all the lovely compliments of our anniversary post before leaving. Thank you again for stopping in all these years and for all this mayhem! Till we get our equilibrium back and to a sense of normalcy, if there is such a thing, may I present some legends for your enjoyment, and Casa du Borghese favorites...Carol Burnett, along with Eileen Farrell and Marilyn Horne. Take it away girls! A number after my own heart.

  5. The more I see of the Casa du Borghese garden the more I admire the tireless work of the gardener and designer.

  6. Welcome home, Mads. We missed you!

    P.S. Don't you wonder how they managed to decide, rehearse, and produce all the things they did every week? Classic! and takes true professionals to pull those off.

  8. Mads, honey, you need to work between vacation days. It breaks the monotony of livin' la vida loca! Growing up, I loved the Carol Burnett show, especially the musical numbers.

  9. Welcome back and thank you for the fabulous video!

  10. That is a truly fabulous number - who would ever have thought that two esteemed opera divas like that would ever have sung on a brassy Cy Coleman number, rather than the Bellini, Verdi or Gluck they were more accustomed to?!

    Welcome back - with a diva bang!! Jx

  15. Sooooooo great and so many fond memories of her wonderful show! I think it's time for these kinds of shows to return...it sure beats reality show crap, where talent is not found.

    WELCOME BACK!
