    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier May 17, 2024May 17, 2024

    Happy Saturday from the White Mountains of Arizona! It’s been a few months since we have visited our cabin and no surprise to find cobwebs, lots of yard debris and a tankless water heater that is providing cold water only. Home ownership~a blessing and a curse. This is Finn’s first trip here and he is…

    Our Hodge-Podge Art Collection

    ByMary Crozier June 20, 2018June 20, 2018

    On Saturday we were invited to a friend’s home for dinner.  I had never been there before but my husband had and was raving about their home, particularly their art collection. Art plays a major role in their lives, because Leslie Sandbulte is a very talented, renown artist. Here are a few of her paintings….

Welcome to Life at Bella Terra. I’m Mary and I am delighted you are here. Life at Bella Terra is about embracing what the present can bring by valuing what the past built.
