For Halloween

I made some Hokey Pokey. It had not finished cooling when four or five young Maori Boys asked me to trick or Treat them. I don't know if they ate the Toffee but it gave me immense pleasure to give them Sweets on Halloween. I almost wanted to run after them and wish them all the best that life has to offer and much happiness and Mirth. If I'd had another daughter I may have called her Mirth.

Let me tell you the lovely Jo

She has beautiful Brown Eyes
She is a Ray of Sunshine in my life!

I went to see Bob the Builder

Bob the Builder

In Hospital

He's the funniest person

In the Room

Right now

Inspite of......................

Good luck

+ God Bless

Nightie Night Twinkle Winkle is what the Bees would say!

When they tuck up for the night.
When the Stars are shining Bright

And I asked My friends Sandra and Dick

At the last minute
When I had built up Steam
And alas
They could not make it!
Sandra is a Star
Shining
Upon a Peaceful Brook
In the Universe

An Ode to Father Time

Star and Cross - Kaleidoscopic View

Mrs Happy Bee cooked Moussaka

Moussaka with Salad
With the lovely company
Of Janice and John
Janice loves flowers
And is a beautiful woman
That reads widely
Is a wise woman
And a Counseller
And must tend a wonderful Garden.

Mrs Happy Bee

Today I am determined to bee Mrs Happy Bee

And the Iris that has passed

Shed one purple Tear
And I witnessed it.

Actually there were at least three and I caught one in the palm of my hand.

Today I was in Tune

With Nature.
I collected Flowers
Before
The Rain
And Pulled the
Washing
Also
Pervading my
Senses
Are the Roses
The one from Mels Mother
Is Exquisite
And the Blackberry Nip
Delicious
And the Wise Woman
has a Modest Perfume
And of the Iris
That fragrance
Bottled
I would Buy
Who Knows It.
I have Two
Iris
One with
Amputated Petal
And One Dead Flower

Today was the Birth of the Tear Drop

It has a little Amethyst for the Goddess and is composed of mainly Clear Glass. There was a lot of Exquisite work at the DiCast Workshop with Di Tocker. We have fantastic fun creating with her Guidance in Hamilton and I would drive for miles just to enjoy the Companionship and the lovely Baking!

I could tell you a Good Samaritan story about Linda. She not only helped me finish my piece but she........................................sorry can't tell.

Once again I was privileged to be with exceedingly talented people and my work was mediocre compared to the skill that some displayed but I love my Amythest Tear drop of the Goddess.

Purple Butterfly

When I wear my Purple Ostrich feathers I feel like a Purple Butterfly! And I felt like a Social Butterfly last night. It was such fun to see so many people I love of the Evening. I picked a Day Lily called Masquerade and was going to give it to Lisa to wear but I forgot. and I forgot my forgetmenot ring so we went flowerless to Waikino. I was a bit nervous but it was one of the happiest evenings in my life. Good luck to all the Artists exhibiting their Art.

Today I hugged a Tree..........................

in the Garden of Lisa Jimmeson

One of the Artists

Of Our World

A living Treasure

And I also hugged Di Annes flowers

She is a Lady

Of the Church

And another

Living Treasure

Fan with Asymmetrical Reflection

Every Day Heros and Heroines

There are many
Missionaries
On a Mission
To find the Meaning
Of Love
And we Contemplate
The Answers
That we haven't left Paradise

My words came out backwards.........................

What I meant to say was that if I can achieve such a Score at such a Great Golf course as Waihi I am tempted to Join but for that I love the Paeroa Course

It was a truly lovely day and I was happily surprised that I had such a wonderful day at Golf that I won in my 2nd Division Class. I am over the Moon!

Clown Fish

Well, I love the Clown fish we all know but I have drawn another just for fun.
In this world where we take everything so seriously
In this Competitive environment
That it is Actually
OK
As an Adult
To Play
My Mother
Would not put
For Fun
Instead of Work Done
We take ourselves all so seriously
And trample one another in the Hysteria
To be Rich
Beyond the measure of the poor humble worker
That we forget how to Love
And share our good fortune

When tears become Flames

The star was the Sun Shining Upon the Moon..........

And I found a moon on the back of the Work.

The work
With a two week gestation period
Is ................,.......,,,,,,
Of the Goddess
Here's to Di for being such a Gracious Hostess.
One lady was so sweet that she actually tried to finish my piece for me.
Between the lovely Linda and the lovely Di
And a little effort
Put in by myself
We have created
A Tear Drop
Of the Goddess

Fingers Crossed xxxxxx

I have White Fright

I am scared to Paint because people are so critical. It is sad when Artists are demoralized..............
I have done another painting entitled "May we take Our bearings from the Mountain of Love" which of course is Te Aroha to me and it takes courage to exhibit.

I have been carving Wax

In the Shape of a tear drop
from the Goddess
So the Inspiration takes me
To remember them both.

I fixed a Reed

A reed was broken in my home and I mended itwith beads.

Rainbow Colours and Tall Poppies

Butterfly Pansy

A Symphony of Polka Dots + Imaginings

We all make mistakes

And some of us never learn
I put my Mother
Above myself
And I could sit here for hours
To name all the people that have been kind to me
Along the way
Some memories
Are really special
They keep you smiling
through day
And through Night
Thank you to all those Angels out there -in the Human Form

Dust to dust

We are only on this Earth for a short time.
Surely we can concentrate on the Important things
Like saving the Earth
And it's Children
And it's Baby Lions
And Tiger's
And Butterflies!

PLEASE

Magic really does happen.

And I have a real life Elf in my Garden.

I found a card at the Church

It is the thirteen of Clubs.
What Card Game is that?
Just Maybe
It might be from God
My birthdate is the Thirteenth

I started drawing the Tongue of the Iris................

and arrived at this!

I was looking at the Purple velvet with fluffy Yellow "tonsils" and the fine black veins on the flower. Then Voila!

Moana's Points

Why does it take so long now to Deliver a Post?

I would like to Know from an accounting point of view.............

Whether Wireless ia actually cheaper to produce and maintain than Landline. If so then why not supply Broadband at a cheaper rate. Because things are newer and sleeker should they always be dearer if the Production Costs are less?

I simply could not download Sandra's Image on dial up!
I would say that slow connection on the Computer is literally driving employees dotty!

K.I.S.S.S

That was excellent advice Sandra

I remember that I should photograph in full Daylight and use the Zoom and Picaso. Trouble is these tricks are too complicated for me. Medication and nervous breakdowns have rendered me a virtual dunce but not a Dunce without an opinion.
And I will study it:>
What I study most are flowers.

It is a Matter of Matter

Thank you for the advise Sandra. If only I could retain it I would now be in business! I can only Paint & Photograph
Like a child
But I reserve the right

For children to be Acknowledged
As having Rights
For Freedom
