2021 Vacation in Montenegro
Our vacationers started their outbound trip ... |
... at JFK with Austrian Airlines, which ... |
... took them to Podgorica with stopover in Vienna |
Nedžad has a car over there, which he keeps in Bioča just for these occasions |
They stopped often on highways to rest and admire the scenery ... |
... like this roadside cafe with the Lake Skadar in the background |
Denis loved being in Bioča, picked raspberries, ... |
... which he proudly displays in this photo, ... |
... and showed Grandpa Čerim how to slam dunk! |
Nedžad toured Čerim and Denis on his cousin Murat's property near Lake Plav |
During their stay in Bioča, Fata, Nedžad's sister, got married |
After the wedding lunch, Vaska was congratulated by guests and relatives |
Nusret, Nedžad's brother, came from Berlin to Bioča for the wedding, then ... |
... together with Fahira and Leila (not shown in photo) went to Ulcinj as well |
Quick photo-op stop at the hospital where Nedžad was born |
Lots of fun on the beach ... |
... in Ulcinj ... |
... and Bečići |
Suntan on the Adriatic sea ... |
... and relief from the intense heat in the shadow |
A dive to remember! |

2021 Scarsdale Spring Tales
The "tale of the bird with blue eggs" started with Felicia seeing ... |
... the nest outside the window where a robin had laid a pair of blue eggs |
Eventually the eggs hatched and the robin started to bring food to her babies |
When "home", the bird had covered and protected the chicks -- but eventually, ... |
... she and the chicks listened to the call of their destiny and flew away |
By coincidence, this true love story happened right before Mother's Day! |
Denis gave Ms. Falcone a nice poster on the Teacher's Appreciation Day |
Along with Easter and Mother's Day, we also celebrated the Bajram |
Denis continued his tennis lessons, and ... |
... the first summer-like day was spent on the beach |
Fun on the beach for Denis, Nedžad and ... |
Felicia |
Nedžad bought a fantastic 1985 Cadillac Eldorado that looks and runs like new ... |
... and fits like a glove into the family growing collection of nice cars |
Denis, Bunicul and Mommy proudly "guarding" the new collectible |
Denis will enjoy the sporty Cadillac Eldorado for the years to come |
It's a bit late, but never mind: Easter at Felicia's ... and at the Eastchester City Hall |
Coyotes sightings come as a "bonus" for leaving close to Mother Nature! |
Denis' Birthday
Denis' birthday present was a vintage ... |
... Celtics 33 jersey. He liked his new jersey but said: ... |

Never mind. For now it's just Larry Bird  |
Happy birthday, Denis! |
Congrats, Felicia! |
