Rainbow Crown

That we should Have a Rainbow Crown. That would be my Wildest Wish. That every child should wear...................to know how beautiful they are .... How far they can go and how much they can achieve......And then to provide that World for them...... That is my Wildest Dream.

A Toast once more............

To little Girls and little Boys

To Young Men and Women

And to the Elderly

And to the Middle Aged

Today I was asked where I would like to go

If I were on Tour

And I said

I'd like to go to Tokyo...for the Cheering Cherry Blossom Festival.

Or Maybe to Heaven in China

But I confess to being the merest Mortal

And that Today

I have sinned by not speaking kindly about people.

If only it were the New Discipline to speak kindly of people how Positive Our World would be!

I have a Gift

For the Chinese People

It is very Modest

But it is one of my Etchings

A Lace Butterfly

Coloured with Red

And Yellow

And Blue

For the Heaven's Above

I shall send it to the Embassy

Hand Flowers in Prayer

A 2005 Environmental Study

And Congratulations to the Ever-Swindel Twin Sisters

And to Valerie for bringing home another Gold for the Girls!

I hope Mahe is well.
He fought a Valiant Battle!

And to all the Medal winners, especially Constantina from Romania for winning the Marathon

And to Mr Phelps of America for being a Great Olympian and winning the Eight Golds plus..........

Them
As one might
From "Heaven" in China
And let us Protect
Our Environment
+ Our Children

Thanks for calling me 99!

For Today's Addition I have included the Vatican Flag

I hope this does not Offend.

Apparently the Olympic were Quashed by the Christian Roman Emperor, Theodius I for their Pagan influences. And now they are the new weapon of PEACE.

I thought a Patchwork Quilt made of all...............

The Flags of the World would be nice. It is easy to visualise, when you think in terms of Patchwork Quilts That Harmony is achievable.

The daffodils kept me happy today.

It was nice to talk to a man about Tulips.

I Loved Open Season - A Movie

It was so funny
And Sweet
In the face of
Adversity
The animals Team Up
And fight a Very
Clever Battle

To the Chinese Contingent........................

Your men's Team Gymnists were Like Birds in Flight!

The first Olympian

Coroebus ran naked in Ancient Greece !

I should like to Quote Pierre de Coubertin

From the writings of Jennifer Rosenberg

"Let us export our oarsmen, our runners, our fencers into other lands. That is the true Free Trade of the future; and the day it is introduced into Europe the cause of PEACE will have received a new and strong ally. It inspires me to touch upon another step I now propose and in it I shall ask that the help you have given me hitherto you will extend again, so that together we may attempt to realise( sic), upon a basis suitable to the conditions of our modern life, the splendid and beneficent task of reviving the Olympic Games"

Today I am the Dish and the Spoon

And the Cow that jumped

Over the Moon!

It is actually the Twelfth
