Under the sea
are colourful bumble bees
how can that be
in art, the mind is free
to express all that it can “see”
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
All in life is possible,
when we believe
and trust in “God” to live in peace
World Peace is Everything!

AT home I have a recliner, but basically I sit around with my feet up, and my whippet is never far.. .
Yup I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, working on the computer, or doing something with my paints and stuff. In this picture, I was trying on shoes.. I did go an buy them. (some things never change)
I watch programs that take me underwater, and show me creatures that live in the sea. Except, in this case, I was swimming underwater, my avatar was swimming with mermaids.. ah ha! that could be a bit of fantasy… but… I was there, via my AV .. I was the avatar and the mermaids and other swimmers were friends, it was a benefit to raise money for a charity RLF (Relay for Life) hmmm sounds like a familiar event. we were all there visiting in real time.
I am the cute one ( sorry E) Siamese cats are just that much more adorable. Especially the Dinky avatar ones. =^_^=
Now, true in the day-to-day world, I am not going to put on a sea witch outfit and jump into the Ottawa River, or the St. Lawrence. (river that divides some of Canada from the USA) but my friends are from all over the world, and we really do meet and chat in-world when these events take place.
We wake up every day, and often we are always doing something within a certain mile radius of our home base With the social media blossoming like it has, we get to stay in touch with so many friends, and their friends, whether they live close to home or not. Golly gee, now they even have to warn us about “fake news”
So…… I ask you again…. when is fantasy real? =^_^= gives a Shirley Temple smile, and skips off the screen. (for now)

waves good night to everyone..
Church in the morning see you then =^_^=
Happy Saturday everyone… A dog whose name I have long forgotten looked out at me over the silly sunglasses someone put on him…Maybe his name was Teddy. Dogs are so patient with us. They have no idea why we dress, pamper and spoil them, but they graciously allow us our fun.
I know my girl, she was not amused. But… she was a good sport =^_^= long enough for me to get a picture.
Believe it or not.. when I did these characters.. I thought they were so cute. Now I can’t even tell you where they are. OR why I was making them. That was then, this is NOW.
All this to say. Life is what it is. Every day brings new ideas, and opportunities to be creative. Sometimes they involve others, sometimes you are on your own.

Being aware, appreciating difference, and living each moment the best we can, increases the potential of living in “Perfect Liberty”
BE HAPPY
Share your happiness with others.

I am having a special party, and YOU are invited..I will be off on my broom
on the actual day of the new moon
I’ve been planning the menu for weeks
ohhhh it will be a special feast
long forgotten friends have been sought out
so you will not need to fret
help will be on hand
to welcome you in
walk up to the front door
don’t be shy, come right on in
I did do my best to get to all the rooms
but, perhaps, you shouldn’t wander too far
from the main rooms
yes on second thought
youy may want to refrain from opening closed doors
feel free to use the spa
should you need a quick fix
dinner will be served around six
I’ll do my best to sit with you
although it could get complex
I might need some time to dress
ignore the baby should he scream
after all, this is only a dream
see you on my return…. have fun, enjoy everyday!

Right. If only life were that simple..
Oophs sorry, wrong door, and you can simply close it and go to the next one. It happens more often than we would like to acknowledge. Another project, another impossible discussion with ?, a deadline looming and we’ve not come to a decision.
If we landed in a bit of a pickle, chances are, we by our own actions had a hand in lading us there. Time to stand back and really examine the “door/issue/challenge”. See it as an opportunity.
Don’t be deterred by how it looks, if you want inside, or to know what is behind the doors, then you will need to creatively find a way to do just that.
A door big or small, any shape at all, has always fascinated me, I doubt that will change anytime soon. Even when I know what is behind the door. I want to open the door and go inside. Unless of course it is housework, and dirty dishes waiting on the other side.

plain on the outside maybe, but inside…comforts of home in a land far far away
Where would you like to be today?
Come on, come outside and play..
we can each take a turn
at having our own way…
hahahaha
do you believe me?
sure you do
after all
I am after all
an another version
of
YOU

Hi Everyone… my apologies to those of you who have joined our little “group” in the last month or so. I have been experiencing issues with Windows defender, and my security software. While away on my last trip, I noted that several new members had joined up. However when I got back home to have a look and say hello, thank you etc. Some were not to be found, and others caused problems when I tried opening them. So now I am being cautious.
I welcome you .. in time I will find a way to actually get to your blogs. Meanwhile, welcome, welcome, I look forward to getting to know what part of the blogs you enjoy the most. =^_^=
The month of October is a very creative month. In August I begin with the fall greeting cards, and doing up Thanksgiving one, and yes… I get a head start on the ghoulish and witching ones. Yet.. I do not do Halloween. Go figure, I simply like the creativity it brings out in me. I remember in the days when I did ATC* challenges, my envelopes would be decorated with tombstones, ghosts and “characters” in all shapes and sizes.
Today I was told that our cards will be sold at one of the Craft fairs, by two of our members. So here I am doing HO HO HO cards. By December I’m doing Hearts and Flowers cards, and working my way into Irish greetings.=^_^=

The pumps are gone, the mechanics retired, but the building remains… this little lot is perched on the corner where two secondary roads intersect. (see below) I liked its character. =^_^=
What were the cars it serviced in its “hay” day. The following cars were in a collection that I found in New Hampshire, this was one of the nicest and well maintained displays I’ve seen in many a day.
check out the bee on the bonnet. What a restoration! You will find these “ladies” at
Kancamagus Collectables on the Kancamagus Hwy, Rte 112 between Rte 3 and 1 -93, North Woodstock, NH. USA ( 603-745-0915 ) for those of you who saw the phone booth, it was in this location. Admission is free.
The vintage service center is in Madrid, New York, USA
Life is full of wonders. We need only look around us for the remnants of a time gone by. The world is a wonderful place, and we have had such a colourful and creative past. Today we live every day, starting each morning with a brand new canvas.

Sterling, handsome young man, caught in a suit. Would we think this was the norm… we could, he carries it so well. Confident, charming, years from now, this will be what was in 2016 on the day that picture was taken, it will not reflect anything else, but that moment in time. We are often reminded of what was back in … pick a year, any year… What we discover is, that what was back then, although still part of our “make up” is in no way where we are in the “now”
Will this young man remember the day he was off to play golf and was caught in the moment. Maybe. Life is filled with so many wonderful adventures, and we get to live each and every one. I am often asked if I remember something that happened some many years ago. My honest answer, is probably not. If the person is able to give me enough information, I might catch a glimpse of what that person is remembering, however often my memory is not the same as theirs.
People come together for a reason, strangers meet and become friends, or not.. But the encounter is one that often leaves a lasting impression, sometimes, it is felt right away, and other times not till sometime yet to come. When you live in the NOW (present) you are living in the moment, and that moment will be with you forever. Even if you are lost in thoughts of the past, what is happening to you in the present, is still happening, you simply are missing the moment, and that is too bad, why, because you can never get it back.
Like the exhilaration of fireworks, they happen, then they are gone. It is our decision whether or not we go forward, or try to hold on to the past. Whether you want it to or not, life will continue to flow in and around you. One season will roll into the next, enjoy the changes, you will blossom and with each season, your blooms will change.
