FLYING OVER
A BRIDGE!

Bridges are one of my favorite things!

This one makes me think that if you stand in the middle on a perfect day, you will just sail away into the clouds!

When you stand on the side of the bridge and look down, you see the water flow under, and all ahead, there is new fresh water coming at you!

So like life: you stand on today, and coming at you , your whole life! Full of good things, and promises, and wow! There it is ahead, coming at me!

Don't you just love it?

And if you stand in the middle of your life on a perfect day, you just might fly away!

Well, not really.

I wouldn't want to fly away, not yet anyway.

There's so much life coming up!

Lots more travel: we just passed the 20,000km. or 12,500 miles, since April 25th. Not joking!

And we have a lot of flying!

And tonight: a wonderful evening with the family! MMMMMMM

Maybe you were thinking that bridges take you from this side to that side, but rethink just where you can go when you stand in the middle and dream!

Have a great dreaming day, wontcha!

LEARNING TO FLY WITH A PURSE

Hey there, what IS it with purses!!

I hate to be a fashionista, but I LOVE purses! Big, small, lots of straps, no straps, purses, purses, purses!!!

Well, maybe not that many, but I love to find a purse that works, which means it has to carry my wallet, which differs in size from country to country! Kenya money is big, and in Uganda, you need so many bills you need a sack!!!

Cameras!!!! I hate to leave my house without it, because every , every, every time I do, I miss the photo of a lifetime!!! Never fails! So a good purse has to accomodate my camera.

Lotion, hand sanitizer, lip gloss, notebook ( in case I feel the urge to write a poem, blog idea, or grocery note!) many pens - I am one of those who has "being without a pen" phobia. BWAP syndrome.

Sooooo, that leads me to Jacksonville, and this amazing purse place.

If you look at the photo, you can see just how totally practical this purse is.

It holds all the stuff mentioned, and so is just a total must have.

Oh, you think the colours are wild? The pattern bizarre?

Well, so did I, and that's the most important thing about a purse, for me!

IT HAS TO MAKE A STATEMENT!

LIFE IS TOOOOOOO SHORT TO PACK A BORING PURSE!!!

Have a perfect purse day, wontcha!

LEARNING TO FLY IN THE RAIN!!!

DID YOU KNOW??? BATS DON'T FLY IN THE RAIN!

For some reason, I love that statement! I think it should be on a T-shirt! Why? Who knows!!!!! But when it rains, bats come to a full halt! Stop! Relax! Kick-back! or would that be, Hang-up!

I love our Kenya rainstorms, life really comes to a halt! The sky opens up and down it comes, within minutes, our backyard, pictured above, is running with brown bubbling water!

Everything glistens, because so often the sun is still shining through it all. I totally love it!

Kenya rainstorms are so violent, and enveloping, and activity stopping!!!!!

All the animals come to a halt, the insects hide, and people----well, we come to a halt too!

Because we don't have electricity in the daytime, we don't do a whole lot in the house during rainstorms because it gets too dark!!

It's raining?? Kick back, hang up, ENJOY THE INACTIVITY!

WATCH THE AWESOME POWER OF RAIN!

Have a rainy day, wontcha!

LEARNING TO FLY....TAKES TIME!!!!!

I like to put my p.s. first: unless otherwise stated, all the photos on my blogg I took myself, with a camera given to me by a friend who opened up the whole idea of doing a blog to me!!! Thanks Betty!

WELL, if you didn't read my "Martian" blogg, you missed the two photos of the same thing!

No Loss!

But, then next blogg won't make sense, because I was moaning that I could't delete a photo, but had unexpectedly found out how to put in two or more photos!!!!

And thanks to my super talented niece, who really inspired my blogging attemtps, she told me how to delete the "Martian!!!" Thanks, Koralee!

Okay, I know. None of this makes sense now, but just be advised::::: I am getting really scary in what I, a former computer-hater can do on one of these scary,still-to-be tamed inventions!

Have a try again day, wontcha!!!!

SOMETIMES YOU JUST CRASH!!!!

WELL HOKEY-DOODLE!

YOU JUST CAN'T WIN THEM ALL!

I THOUGHT I WAS LEARNING A LOT ABOUT BLOGGING, AND I THINK I BRAGGED ABOUT IT SOMEWHERE!!!!!

THEN -OOOOOOPPPPSSS! CRASH!!!!!

I COULD NOT GET THE SECOND MARTIAN PICTURE OFF, BUT OH WAIT, I JUST THOUGHT: MAYBE I NOW KNOW HOW TO ADD A SECOND PHOTO!!! WAIT, I THINK I'LL TRY.

WELL GLORY BE!

I KNOW HOW TO PUT ON MORE THAN ONE PHOTO!!

AND THEY DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE, SO HEY, JUST CELEBRATE WITH ME THAT I KNOW HOW TO PUT ON MULTIPLE PHOTOS,

AND ONE DAY THE BLOGG FAIRY WILL COME AND TEACH ME HOW TO TAKE PHOTOS OFF!

In case you care, these photos are from the weekend at the lake up in UpState New York, just random things that caught my eye.

p.s. I think the green buds might be Baby Martian eggs that hatched????

Have a learnsomething new week end, wontcha!

FLYING INTO OUTER SPACE!

MARTIANS???????

How about this for a photo! We have all heard about the babies found in the cabbage patch, well at least those of over 60 heard that myth.

Just imagine my surprise to see this cute little alien face looking up at me when I visited the greenhouse where my oldest grandson Stryker works. I never even got scared! I guess all my years living in the African bush has tuned me up to accept other cultures. So, aliens in the flowers, how cute!!!

My most recent dip into another culture was watching "How to Tame your Dragon! in 3D with all the four McNeal grandchildren, Riley, Bailey, Keiran and Caedon. I hope I am never NEVER NEVER too old to accept new cultures, new ideas, and new friends.

Watch out you don't weed out the Marians next time you weed,

Have an accepting day, wontcha! Oh, P.S!!!! I did not mean to insert two photos, but I don't know how to take it offf!!!!!!!
