FLYING BACKWARDS!!!

FLYING BACKWARDS!!!

I think this might be impossible! But we can try!

On the weekend, we stayed in a cabin: the very word makes me think of SPIDERS and LOG WALLS, but this was not our cabin!

Our cabin was a Heritage Moment, with a double bed covered in a handmade, old,old quilt!

A painted white dresser, and antique chair!!

It all made me feel totally warm and contented: my MOM used to make quilts!

We sold our antiques when we moved to AFRICA.

So the cabin was a delightful dip into the past, and good memories surfaced, and we had a really nice weekend.

You can fly backward in your mind!

Have a warm fuzzy memory, wontcha???/

FLYING INTO PARRALEL UNIVERSES!

1. Books that I have known and loved!

2.Through the lens of a camera!!!

have you ever thought how both these things take you another place? Sort of like flying!!! You leave here, and arrive THERE!

PAGE ONE of any book immediately transports to Somewhere else, good, bad, or boring. No wait, sometimes informative.

I don't like boring, and don't like bad: I recently read three quarters of a book, and tossed it in the garbage! What started off funny degenerated! Someone suggested the editor was responsible: add some spice or else!

Yuk, I chucked. I don't read spice!!!

Then there was the over a thousand page book that I read only to get a nugget of wisdom on the almost last page:

"PITY ISN'T LOVE."

Food for thought, that. How often do we think we love a problem person and actually we only feel pity. Pity comes to an end. Love doesn't.

Hmmmmmm big difference there.

So if I pity you, and try to help, and my help doesn't change you, I'll give up.

But if I love you, I'll look for a way that will help.

Love you!

OOps, didn't get to the Camera Universe, but there's always tomorrow!!!

Have a great day in an Alternative Universe, Wontcha!

MEMORIES AND MOMENTS

MEMORIES AND MOMENTS

An interesting thought occurred to me: even dwelling on good memories too long takes your mind off the now!!!

A good cup of coffee and a slice of memory cake is nice, but then real life sets in, and its time to move on!

If I linger in the past, a whole slice of now slides by!

So I like a quick peek at the past, and a whole wopping portion of the future before me.

Life is just too exciting to live it looking back.

Hmmm, is is possible to fly backwards when you aren't even off the ground forward??

So my efforts are forward! There are some moments coming up today: shopping for camp food for the weekend, dinner tonight with friends: and moment by moment time in the presence of three awesome grandchildren!

Have a momentous day, wontcha!!!!

GOING IN CIRCLES IS NOT FLYING!!!!

Well look at this! Colour everywhere!

Leaving Ontarion yesterday, almost to the U.S. border : ring ring ring

My new eyeglasses were in!!!!!

Turning around is the only option, as we wont see Ontario again til mid September!!!!!!

Ahh, you don't recognize me at this point, as I am wearing my new eyes!

Fashion goes in such circles! I think these are close to the same ones I wore in the 60's. The non-frame look has been sooooo in, now its thick hornrims again, but with such pizzaaaz.

If I learn how to fly photos onto this blog, you will see the new me.

Which is hilarious, as you dont even know what the old me looks like.

4 hours after we started, we started out again. And made it safe and sound to our son's.

have a great going straightforward day, wontcha!

The best p.s. in the world!!!! I posted a flower! It grows out of a tree in my yard in Kenya, and is a type of orchid!

Flying high about posting photos!!!

AS FAR AS THE DAY GOES:

Well, there you go! I found some colour for my blog, and its the end of a long day. Lots of activity and friends. Ahhh, makes life worthwhile knowing you are part of a whole!

Someone today mentioned there will be a church picnic, and they are going to showcase

"STUPID HUMAN TRICKS" !!!! BIG SMILE FROM ME,

as our family has always done these, what's yours?

Personally I do really bad accents. yeah. accents, only I can't do them , so end up sounding like the United Nations is camped out in my mouth.

What does this have to do with flying? Only that smiling and friends and family all make you feel like you might just lift off at any second.

Are you getting any hints about what flying is??
I hope so,

Have a silly trick night, wontcha!

RANDOM THOUGHTS TO HELP GET OFF THE GROUND

"EVENTS FALL AT OUR FEET,
LIFE HAPPENS WHEN WE WALK THROUGH THEM"
PJMC, 3:AM THOUGHT !!!!

I had a dream when I was a child. In it, I stepped up very carefully into the air, and then I could fly! Ever since I've been a grown up, I have looked for that place to step up. Somehow, I've never found it. But I do know it's there!!!

Have a great stepping up day, wontcha!

TO AND FRO ISN'T FLYING

Well, back in Canada after a week in the States, and the Grandchildren certainly wake you up and keep you active.
Had an amazing 4 1/2 hours on an extremely hard bench: but saw our grandson achieve another level in Tae Kwon Doh, which I am sure I cant really spell. Its good to see that the "SYSTEM" allows discipline and respect in some areas of learning, even if not in school.
We were not flying by the end of the evening, everyone had achy bones! but it was soooooooooooo worth it to see what hard work can achieve. I dint know you could kick a board in half with the TOP of your foot. hmmmmm - strength in hidden places.

So, my board breaking experience will be when I figure out how to do something with this blog thing other than boring notes. Like put in some of my totally awesome photos. The ones I call "abstract in nature" and "Guess what this is?" that will be the "break the board" time in my blog.
Oh yeah, and see if anyone ever reads it. ha. its tooooo boring, and definitely not flying.
One of these days I'll tell you what the flying thing is all about.
But not tonight, I'm off to bed.
Have a "break the board" night, wontcha.
