There is much surface flooding. We viewed it from the Cenotaph. I'm sorry for those directly affected.

My Artist Friend Graham thinks.............

That I should sell Postcards of "Puha and Spring Blossom".
And Sandra thinks that I should make a book of my Computer Art.
When I publish I will have them for sale at home.

I'm just painting the Sides

......... of my Androgynous Butterfly. It is another What is it? The good thing about " What is it's? " ..is that they really make you think. Thinking is fun..... is it not. Hoping is what we all do..... however secretly...............that we will all metamorphosize into what God intended.
Wishing is what we do on our birthdays. What did you wish for?

In my Dream home.............My Cottage Industry I plan to sell Wishing Stones for 50 cents with the Good Wishes of a White Witch

There's another Storm coming

We were hit by the last storm and had to put in an Insurance Claim. So far AA have been very helpful. There's another Storm on the way and with the weather being what it is I just want to keep warm by the Computer and Heater.
I did an Acrylic painting of Puha and Spring Blossom but my Computer Art is much better. It seems to be my favourite medium of the moment.

The Weather Bomb

I had prayed that the Weather Bomb would be abated but it didn't seem to make much difference. We have flooding in Paeroa.

I went to Church and took Ginger crunch and the Minister and I shared the last piece of Ginger crunch and I offered to break it as in breaking bread.

Because we had such a small attendance at Church because of the Weather we took Communion in a circle and administered Communion to each other. It was a first for me and the Symbolic Significance is not lost on me.

I'm off to do a Quiz on John and Kings. Wish me luck!

The Best Short Movie Ever.....

Was the Slide Show
That God put on
For Me
And my Mother
It was in the Clouds
That I directed
My mother
To watch Misty
My Brothers
Family Dog

I'm sorry I can only share this with the Imagination
Misty

I hate to have to Act like a Scientist of Ethics



for I am


Such a Simple Woman


but I dare to Reason


Heaven


On Earth
Is here
And Now
The Great
Thing about
Surrealism
Is that you
Can take to it
From many Angles or through the voices of Angels
And it Speaks to You
Of Truth
It speaks
To our Subconscious Minds
And Suddenly
When Reason
Is applied
It all becomes
Crystal
Clear
Like "Prysm's"
Within the mind


Is it just another day at the Office?....?



Is the time

Today it is cold

And I feel for those that for whatever reason
Can't afford to Heat their Homes
I especially feel for those
Who have no homes
For those
Who have
No security
And there are many
Today you need
A Cool Million
For a comfortable retirement
What we really need
Is to look after each other!


Today I made Pumpkin Soup

and took it to Sandra's and I fitted in a Constitutional. I really had fun at Sandra's and we are sharing the Art of Art. I swapped my surgical steel for Rainbow Titanium.

I hear that the All-Blacks are playing the Bledisloe

Today I went to Sandra's


And I did a picture with oil sticks and oil pastels and oil paint + I used an old Stamp that Dick has found. This is my interpretation of the view from Sandra's Studio

My Mum




I walked to Town and Back


And took photo's

The Collection


He has a Red and Blue pig and does flax weaving.
Daryl is one of Peter's cousins. From the same Tribe

I have passed on my condolences

To a man that just lost his dog.
I have photos of his humble abode.
I love animals and know how it feels to loose them.

They have special Symbolic meaning to me.

I found a shopping trundler


At the Cenotaph and took it to the Police Station.

I walked up to the Cenotaph










And here are some photo's.

Abstract


Abstract Chess Board with Koru. I once was an excellent Chess Player but my son has superseded me. It would be wonderful if we were to fully tap our children's potential Genius. The meaning of Hamish is "Supplanter".

Apparently Barack Obama's middle name is Hussein

But we should not hold that against him!

I also rang my darling mother

And she fell asleep on the phone so Hamish and I are going to meet at her Rest Home on Monday. It seems as if my mother has really lovely staff looking after her. I would not be responsible for my actions if someone taped my mothers mouth.

I've done the Washing

And I've been in bed with "The Bronze Horseman". Tanechka is still alive. It is a brilliant novel so far!

Dressed


Cinderella Dress for my model.

Now I'm off

To watch Shortland Street

I live on a hill

with a pussy cat called Mr Tommy Marmalade Ralph. We have wonderful views but our landscape has been scarred lately. Paeroa is one of the prettiest inland places in the country - with friendly people everywhere.

Today I went to Women's Fellowship

After work this morning I went to ladies Fellowship. I thoroughly enjoyed the free meal and bought some Silverbeet. The free meal consisted of soup and a bun followed by a desert of trifle,
Christmas Pudding, fruit salad, custard and whipped cream. All followed by coffee and tea.

I lost my challenge at Golf


Well - I didn't win the Captains Trophy but I had fun. It turned out to be another lovely day yesterday and we had some laughs in the Club room.

Sandra's Portrait of me


Sandra also says that, in her Graffiti, that love making is good for you and legal and non fattening. It makes sense.

Thank you

And thank you to the man that gave us a fish!

And thanks to the 4 Square owner, Cathy, for giving me some Pineapple lumps!


God Bless the Pope

Who is conducting a large Mass in Sydney at the moment.

Oh

And I got a Birthday Wish from young Mateo

I also got phone calls

From my mum and from my son and from Donna. My mummy gave me some money and Donna is sending me some Red Door

I was up at a Sparrows Fart.....

And I'm ready to play Golf this morning. The weather is good and I wonder if I'm in a challenge. I'm taking a jar of my homemade marmalade to put on the Raffle Table.

Bastille Celebrations

Another Bastille Day celebration has come and gone but the push is for PEACE. Congratulations!
Loved the aerial performance.

And last but not least...

I got a lovely handmade purse and a Black Coral necklace from my "Step Great Niece's" mum. The lovely handmade purse comes from Samoa - the origin of her Birth.
"The little one that rides a Pink Unicorn." Lanuola is gorgeous

I would like perhaps to start

A children's adventure Tour business

Don't you think it is a good idea?

Or maybe to start a genteel Tour service for the elderly.

Is that another good idea?

Sandra's Portrait of me;

And Sandra did a portrait of me with my Soul Singing with a Paint Brush in my hand! I will show this Tomorrow.

Happiness is something I would like to work on

But I am working on it
