MY HOUSE IS FOR ME, THE BEST PLACE OF THE WORLD!









Every 15th of each month, the blog EXPRESSO DA LINHA, from Portugal and VARAL DE IDÉIAS, from Brazil, set a question. Today the question is: "THE BEST PLACE OF THE WORLD"

My answer is: For me, my house is the best place of the world! In my house I feel myself safe, warm and cozy.

And about you? What is "The best place of the world?"

    Sonia, viu a coincidência? Para mim o melhor lugar também é minha casa, em Mongaguá.

    I agree. My home is the best place in the world. I post photos from there quite often but because of privacy I don't say when.

    Your home is beautiful. On this Island many also look out on water. Me too.

    I love that pink tree (I know I have told you that before).

    The best place for me is driving through the Australian bush - such a feeling of freedom.

    Sonia no wonder your home is your haven - how beautiful it is! And what a view.
    For me my haven is the woods - that is where I feel comfortable and secure. There are trees, flowers, birds and animals and a little creek that runs through it :)

    Sonia, realmente. O seu, assim como o meu canto é definitivamente o melhor lugar do mundo.
    Lindo, maravilhoso.
    O ipê está novamente soberano.
    E estas flores brancas do lado esquero da casa, são de "pata de vaca"?
    Parabéns pelo bom gosto do post.

    Hello Sonia: it is indeed very beautiful in a gorgeous setting. But more important are the reasons YOU chose it - safe, warm and cozy. I like those reasons, too. That is an interesting question to be set. Can the responses only come from Portuguese speakers or is it open to everyone? I will go to one of the blogs you mention and read what they say.

    Thank you again, Sonia, for your warmth and generosity.

    Sonia, fiz um post:"Um lugar no mundo?"Todo espaço que ocupamos ou melhor, moramos é o nosso espaço no mundo. Seja ele temporário ou não. E toda vez que penso neste assunto lembro o quanto é bom ter um lugar para dormir e escutar a chuva cair e o barulho do vento na janela..."
    Interessante, este assunto né?
    Muito rico. Adorei o seu lugar no mundo. Beijos

    Same here. I love my small little apartment because I work and paid for it myself. And I can do anything I want in it.

    I love the architecture of your house. I love the steep roof and patio. It looks absolutely lovely.

    O Giannetti conheci na época de faculdade, mas na época achava ele um pouco metido! rs Hoje respeito muito ele e o que pensa, apesar de conhecer pouco.
