Hi, everyone a beautiful day here. The painter is almost finished with the outside of the house. Then he has a couple of small jobs to do inside. Will be glad when he is done and I can finish decorating for Christmas.

Rayray - So... perfect.

Rayray, loved your poem. Too much sadness for today. Here's my take on the picture -- but you know, I tried to be upbeat and it just didn't work too well.

A long lifetime of memories
Shows up upon his face
Thoughts of people he has known
And many a varied place
His contributions More...

my answers to Eve's game:
1. a teacher
2. a writer
3. a rich writer
4. now I'm a stay-at-home mom who also designs websites (couldn't have envisioned that one many yrs ago!) and also does taxes during tax season (jan-april here in the US)

Kudos to both Rayray and Linda M on speaking words that this wonderful picture evoked in them and dare I say, many others. Super perception. Great job!

Linda M:
Strange how people sometimes reach different conclusions. I had the idea that despite all his hard work things remained the same as they always were - hard toil with no effect.

Linda - maybe we are both wrong and he is just utterly exhausted after a hard day in the paddy fields.

My response to the questions of the day:
1. Nurse-Until I discovered I'd have to do all of the dirty work.
2. Married- Thought I could beQueen every day, have my fun while I supervised otheres to do all of the work....HA!
3. Mother-of-the-Year and Teacher-of-All
4. More...

That is a fabulous portrait - I wonder who took it?

Rayray your touching and perceptive poem shows your true talents as a poet. Don't stop now.

Back home after a nice visit with the family.

Apologies to those who dislike typos....Its not always the fingers affected by stiffness, but keyboards to seem to succumb to a stiffness of their own....*otheres=others, and spaces between many words...yet it is readable...although not pretty. Peace!

Keith, Welcome back...good that you had a great time with your family over the holidays and safe travel.

Hi Keith! Welcome back!

Rayray, your poem is magnificent. His wonderful face obviously spoke to you. Thank you.

Mamacita, typos show character! Continue on with no apologies!

Must check my mailbox, I'm expecting a box of chocolates!

Not sure this makes a whole lot of sense, but this is what today's wonderful picture evoked from me.


The pain, though real
Upon his face
He carries well
He bears with grace.

He feels no pangs
Though he's not eaten.
His quest for justice
abides unbeaten.

In answer to Eve's game:
1. When you were a child (under 11) what did you want to be when you grew up? Teacher or ballerina

2. When you thought you knew everything (High School) what did you want to be? My parents wanted me to be a doctor or lawyer; I thought I was more suited to More...

Please, don't start in on typos! My new LCD computer screen is harder to read than my old CRT, so it's difficult to proofread. Also (and this is much more important), it has slowed my puzzle-solving time significantly! I can't read the numbers as easily! It seems I had better definition before. More...

Ok, everybody, here's a new game:

Everybody write a horoscope for their sign. Since I'm a Virgo, I'll start off with one:

VIRGO - Today is a good day to take a walk 1) on a beach; 2) in a park; or 3) around a shopping mall. In any case, don't carry cash because 1) you might fall in; 2) you might get mugged; or 3) you might be tempted to spend it.

Jane you are right you can Print the pictures.Linda and Jane well done to you both on your thoughts about the photo.

1. cowgirl or Davy Crockett (ran around in chaps, moccasins, no shirt, and a coonskin hat)

2. nurse (until I encountered organic chemistry)

3. teacher

4. full-time mom for 25 years, teacher before and after that

5. With old age, gradually returning to #1! :)

Gemini- Today will be one where everything is doubled...work, effort and rewards. Be sure to greet all with a smile and tonight you will be enjoying life with friends and family. Money,if you have any will be well invested today, or well spent by tomorrow.

Judy - I don't know your age, but since you also aspired to be a cowgirl when you were a child, I suspect you might be somewhere near my age and thus feel compelled to tell you this. When I was little, a big deal was being made about the fact that Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were adopting children, More...

2:05. What a great photo!

Sagittarius: you will kick up your heels and if you shoot high you will achieve your dream.

I wanted to live with the Rogers family, too, Jane!! A S#xy Sixty last year. We had a big ranch in Detroit ... :)

A man who has lived, and not always happily

Rayray - you did it - great - I saw a hard life -worked in the outdoors - a man of strength of character, protective of his family and proud.
A spirit that cannot be denied - much like those who came west in No. America or built Australia.

Linda, Gail & Judy excellent poems also. I More...

Pisces: Today is a good day for a sedentary activity. Game playing should be considered. A numbered grid is definitely in your future. Do not be deterred from a speedy result and your goal will be reached.

Speaking of Westerns, does anyone remember a series called the Cimarron Kid? The local Moose Club ran this "mini-series" on Saturday afternoons, and I didn't miss an episode!

BTW: You also see the same "character lines" in the faces of portraits of "Native Americans", "Eskimos" and "Aboriginal People". All had tough lives, but a pride that is well deserved.

Judy - just reread your responses to Eve's "whaddaya wannabe" game, and afer reading your #5, am trying to visualize a s#xy sixty-year old "running around in chaps, moccasins, no shirt, and a coonskin hat". Not a very pretty picture, I'm afraid.

Eve - you're absolutely right. And it's a crime the way the movies treated Native Americans years ago. As you may know, "Tonto" meant "Stupid" in Spanish.

Good mAen everyone.

Just a little something to amuse y'all
