My absentee gift

Once I was gifted this beautiful, huge, perfect for me bag. Gifted this gem by someone very dear to me. The gift was created by this special person just for me. It depicted my beloved address from the best place in the world and was in colors I loved. And then my gift was clutched out of my hands, re-wrapped as a Family Chinese Christmas Exchange Gift with the assuring promise "SHE" would win it back for me. She didn't, I lost, someone way less appreciative won it and now I am WANTING IT BACK or at least a better improved version......and I'm right aren't I?????

Polymer Love

I am renewing my love affair with Polymer Clay and combining it with an old flame....beading....such a fine romance, always leaves me wanting more. My only concern is will others love these as much as moi????

In memory of My Mommy, Miss Piggy

I was adopted when 6 weeks old, bald until 2, toothless until 2 1/2 and needed sugar in some form of chocolate from age 5 and yet SHE continued to love me more and more and more. SHE being my mom, Peggy or as I loved to shout to the world PIGGY!! Mom looked like a movie star from the 30's. Red bow tie lip stick, hair in an up sweep, classy figure enhancing dresses that showed off her great legs and always wore a hat and gloves to the racetrack.She could of been an Interior Decorator. Our house always looked cutting edge and she did everything herself inside and out. I never heard or saw her argue with friends. She was the Peacemaker and her friends were with her to the finish...oh how she laughed, danced and played with her friends, always keeping in touch especially through those middle years where many suffered from some form of temporary insanity. She could make the best fired chicken and homemade fries. Her pumpkin pie was epic and she would drop everything when you arrived and fill you with love. She was my last call of the day. She was such a lady and so missed everyday but especially to day. Happy Birthday Piggy, wish we could have a game of Pounce and Sarah could humiliate you instead of me. You would be so proud that the game baton has been passed to another woman in the family.

Heaven

Sitting back in my favorite chair with a large glass of frozen limeade, reading, writing, sleeping and occasionally looking out at the shinning lake and green orchards, I admit I am the luckiest person in the land. What better way to celebrate a clean house, watered garden and Nana's chicken in the oven than time in Heaven....zzzzzzzz

Good Morning Monday

Happy Canada Day
