the obligatory holidays commence with

HALLOWEEN!  yes, you blogger witches!  yikes! (and sorry the header isn't complete, must be that the blogger witches are over something or ruthered and so I can't load the smallest image without it becoming HUGE!)

and this year, the witch, well, I gave her a shakey little house
which she never quite gets to enter.  She just keeps ridin'

her broom, of course, stupid as it sounds

while spidey prepares to attack her

hat

and I would have a close-up of that

but . . .

**Witches took her hat from me, wahhhh hhh h h h!
and I was so sure that I brought it home with me several years ago last time I "celebrated" the witching season!  HAH!

** apologies for the quality of video, I swear it looked so much better before it came across the ether, and as for the downward trend of witches - when was THAT any different? HUH? you say?  Huh? huh!

Rhys & Jess in Kauai

That was some trip! Here's a shot of those two.

Young At Heart

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you’re young at heart
For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of
mind
If you’re young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the
seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing
day
And love is either in your heart or on it’s way

Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on
earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it’s much better by far
To be young at heart

And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

There are a few people I would love to send these lyrics out to because they may need to be reminded about the human condition being finite, but not impossible.

Now that it is September and the month forever from now on of my baby son's wedding to his sweetheart, I am feeling a bit mushy, anyway.

Someone asked the question "Would You Dump Someone - (basically because they voted for the wrong person) and that got me started on the subject of how to choose a partner. And I would write endlessly about this and bore you - but my monitor keeps cutting out and won't allow me to go on and on about it. More later, maybe. For now I'll just say that even if I am inclined to disbelieve in love and all those fairy tales, still I will believe it may come true for others, my son and his fiancee definitely have made a good start at being young at heart!

and months go by . . .

still I am here. Even though I neglect my blog, does not mean I have gone away for good. Just that I am lazy, and distracted by so many things like the birds (see photos) the knitting (photos will possibly be made, possibly) and other terribly important stuff.



Summer has come and gone once and now it is summer - July 31, 2011 - to be exact. I have lost all those days in between because I did no journal except for thousands of photos which I will share and maybe whoever finds this will enjoy knowing that other people lose track of the many, many, things they were going to do with their life.

Ok. Enough drivel for now.
