*****Next week Blue Monday will celebrate its 5th Blogiversary! That's right. On the first Monday in September, 2008, I began Blue Monday. It's been going ever since!
I plan to celebrate with balloons, cake, and flowers--all blue, of course! Perhaps you'll be able to think of something blue and join in for the fifth Blogiversary. *****

Continuing from last week, here's my granddaughter, Ara, and her friend Macey in front of Ca'D'Zan (House of John), the winter home of John and Mable Ringling in Sarasota, Florida.
Notice the different shades of Blue on the windows?

Good morning Sally, I so want to visit this place. It is so beautiful. Too bad you can't go inside the mansion. Your granddaughter and her sweet friend are so pretty. The window you featured is gorgeous.

Hi Sally! Sorry I didn't get my comment in earlier - guess I was to busy dotting my i's and crossing my t's, because I put 2 links in from 2 different blogs.
Hope you're having a good time with your family! And the colors of these windows are beautiful:)
A beautiful place!
Happy Blue Monday!
What lovely blue waters, and I love that multi-colored window.

I love the vibrant blue of the windows!
Hi Sally! These Ringling posts are making me want to go back. Years ago my grandmother and I went to see the Art Collection but I don't think we toured the house. I love all those windows. So gorgeous!
The ballroom ceiling looks amazing! And how wonderful that you could share a great day with your lovely daughter and granddaughter! Thanks for hosting...what a nice start to the week!
The window in the 4th photo is amazing, or did you edit it in a software program? What a pretty place to visit.
Simply Stunning!
Hi Sally! I missed linking but am so fascinated by those two part post! So much fun! My youngest son Nick till have a certificate to attend the circus one time in his life for FREe! It is so beautiful and was given to us the year he was born 1993 as an anniversary gift for all newborns! Such a beautiful keepsake. Hugs Anne
