62. A Flower of Love
Do the thing what you love. Love the thing what you do. - Simon Kong
The edelweiss is a popular flower in Austria, and was featured on the old 1 Schilling coin. It can also now be seen on the 2 cent Euro coin. We found it also in Mount Rinjani, Lombok.- It symbolises Love

CAPTAIN:
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.
CAPTAIN, MARIA, THE CHILDREN AND CHORUS:
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.
I have a similar fond memory of Vermont,a place where Trapp Family settled there.

The von Trapp Family Lodge
- A Great Place for a Vacation
The von Trapp Family Lodge, in Stowe, Vermont, is today run by Johannes von Trapp, the youngest child of Maria von Trapp, and his son Samuel. The lodge is on the land where the family originally settled in the 1940s when they purchased an old farmhouse. The house was named “Cor Unum”, meaning “one heart”. From here the family would go on tour for a good part of the year and whilst they were away, would rent out their home to guests.
They then decided to bring to the lodge their love of music, and started running music camps as the number of guests increased. By the 1950’s it had been turned into a ski lodge, but then in 1980 a devastating fire burnt the lodge down.
With Johannes’ creative ability and vision, the Trapp Family Lodge was rebuilt into a very successful business, by expanding the size of the lodge and adding timeshare chalets. Now it is estimated that every year 150,000 people visit the lodge.
Of course some of the lodge’s success is in part due to the connection with the von Trapp family story. A magnificent collection of photos, books and other memorabilia of the von Trapp family history, lie everywhere throughout the lodge.
Its success is also due to the fact that the The Sound of Music movie was based on Maria von Trapp’s real life story. This has brought in movie fans from around the world to stay at the Lodge, which is still owned and run by the real von Trapp family.
Do the thing you love and love the thing you do.
