I Want the Same Grilles

I was visiting an old medieval museum house and there I was fascinated by the wrought iron grilles they have in this old house. The unknown ancient artisan has made a very interesting and remarkable job creating them. I wanted to have such for my villa too. Sadly the curator did not allow me to make pictures. My intention was to take picture of these fascinating grilles and later on to give them to some skilled and adept artisan to make for me the same. My plan failed. Now I must rely only on my memory. This is one of the moments when I regret that I had not grown up to be one of these jack-of-all trades’ people.

Zodiacal Signs Are Not What You Think They Are

The zodiac signs are not what they are. If you look at the horoscope for your new day or for the year you must know that maybe you check it on someone else’s, because the constellations are not what they used to be. Two thousands years ago stars had a different locations on the sky. Signs have been determined in the past based on star’s locations but now they are different than before and for 200 years this may cause even a month difference. So if you think you know your constellation you better think do you really know it.

I May Have Spoiled My Child

My son needs to learn to be responsible. My husband earns good money and we do not have serious material problems in our family. Maybe because of this I had missed to teach my son to be responsible about his belongings. He always looses them as any other child would do but he is not concerned at all from this fact. I have spoiled him in this field I think. Yesterday I have given him a permission to take the western metal wall decor from our living room because he was going to have a school performance and he needed it as decorations for his group. Today he came back from school empty handed and when I asked him where are the decorations he took from home he said he does not know. This is frustrating. He thinks he must not take care because we can buy everything. This is wrong. I need to teach him not to behave like irresponsible person.

How Spaniards Conquered South America

Why Spaniards did conquer the Indians in South America? Doesn’t is seem strange and impossible that people who came with few ships only had managed to prevail over a thousands and even millions of people? And those were bloodthirsty people that had a story of numerous conflicts. Proud and fearsome warriors were conquered by a handful of Spaniards. I believe the secret of this invasion is hidden in the religion. The Indians in South America were conquered because of their religious beliefs. They thought Spanish are gods. Else I can not think of a reason how few hundred conquistadors can destroy an empire.

Giving or Receiving

What you like more to give or to receive presents? I like them both, but I enjoy most when I give a present to someone. When I see something nice in the stores I always buy it. My husband sometimes makes me a remark I should not spend so much money, but this makes me happy. What are the money for if you can not use them to make you happy. And after all I don’t spend so much. Well, this week I am a bit out of the budget especially with the today’s wrought iron wall sculptures which I am going to send to my sister. But he will understand. After all to whom if not to my sister I am going to sent presents to?
