apologies

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.=^_^=

A stop along the way

knock, knock

I knew no one was home

so I took time to roam

explore, and enjoy the decor

will you look at this doll

she’s had her doors done up out of wood

with no Chevy in sight

I turned to the Ford

I admit it had a charm

and, it wasn’t in a barn

this is the babe

who welcomed us in

when these ladies, give with the charm

I can’t help but beam

with delight

I raise a glass to the bad ass

owners who track them down

and give them new life

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

each picture, shows a piece of art, someone made time, to reconstruct, or build

these gems for us to enjoy.

on my part, appreciation, and gratitude is sent out to them for their time and efforts

just reliving my visit brought back a big smile.

Thursday Doors 9.29

smell the sea

follow the crowd

to the

fresh catch

there is no match

indulging in the day’s catch

I totally enjoyed

the succulent lobster

stuffed into my roll

a treat, indeed.

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity

APPRECIATION -& GRATITUDE

for all that happened and went into

my being able to enjoy

such a delight.

yes it is still Wednesday -but a Thursday door is in this post!

We can only wonder at the creative mind that pulled this all together. what a hoot it must have been to drive up and meet the people here, possibly someone somewhere will know more about this location, and contact me. Meanwhile…. I enjoy the little surprises as i revisit the pictures.

Both my husband and our friend Syb, were reminded of Stephen King’s writing when they saw the pictures. I personally have not read a lot of Stephen King, what do you think?

I know Norm, I know, tomorrow is Thursday, but as you can see, this door from the building is very standard issue. the one that was super cool was the one at the front, where they drove cars in and out from.

Dorinda, Elusive, does this place inspire a storyline? Anyone from Maine that knows anything about this place.. I’d love to hear from you.

Always be open to new discoveries, and when you find a piece of history that speaks to you…. enjoy it!

Chop suey 9.27.16 -abandoned

There are times when I feel simply overwhelmed by the creativity of others. Thus was the case here, my husband is used to my hollering “stop the car, stop the car” and having to pull over turn around and bring me back to the “whatever” that brought on this outburst. I was totally taken by this building, it was once an antique car lot. The detail, the whimsical character of the architecture. I would have loved to have met the previous owner.

See the tie man!! I loved, loved, loved it. I toured around the building, as much as I could without being an intruder.

The second floor balconies made me itch with curiosity. Wanting a ladder or access to the inside to I could get closer.. I’ll post a shot from the road, so you can see what I first saw.

Like HELLO.. how could I just drive by and not get a closer look. It was on getting closer that I saw all the details, and the charming way the owner had put character into the building.

This is what life is. Think about it. How often do you meet someone, or see someone and think, how interesting, I wonder?? But, we never follow through, we never take that chance .. we are polite, and go about our business. I was blessed that in growing up, I was encouraged to meet and greet the world in a positive light.

Not only in old abandoned buildings and lost,left behind vehicles do I see beauty and wonder. I see it in my fellow-man.

PL Precept #10 Love Yourself and Others

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

There will be more pictures of this house, (Norm’s “Thursday Doors” ) but before I sign off, please let me show you the car that was left behind. It was being textured by Mother Nature, she was looking “some” good…=^_^=

Beauty if in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it ….

For those of you who love “rust detailing” and the different patina that Mother Nature can bestow on metal

this car is showing a lot of promise

Chop suey Friday, 9.2.16

a Japanese pastry shop in Japan where one can always count on a tasty treat

Wa Cofffee in Osaka, Japan (see below)

another look at the side of the building I posted yesterday…

there was a house behind it, picture will be next

as a writer I would love to interview the house

have it tell me of its previous lives

of course it can’t be done, but the writer’s imagination

hankers for a story, a peak into the past

today, I’m resting my eye,

one cataract gone, the other one in October

I slept off and on all day yesterday

up to eat and have my drops

otherwise, my mind was drifting

lazily through the fertile fields

of my endless dream states

see, disco dancing @ Pacifique

Eclair in the lead

=^_^=

asleep or awake

life is good.

have a good one dear friends

I think I should be able to get another 24 hours of pampering

lazy mind

A lazy mind can sit and ponder, wonder and consider her options for hours on end. there is nothing wrong in daydreaming, or taking time out to unwind, de-stress, or as some of us say, just chill. However, often it is after spending hours drifting aimlessly through imaginary and often lingering moments of “fantasy”, we emerge and finding that all the “stuff” we had waiting for attention in the “immediate” world, is still there, waiting …..

Sure, we can make a list, and we can plot out just how we will get to this project and that one, what materials we will need, even “see” it in our heads. But all of this is not getting “it” done.

Maybe a walk will sweep out the cobwebs and give inspiration. Wow, it is so nice out here, such a pleasure to be out in the fresh air. hmmm yes, hear those birds, and look… look at how white and fluffy the clouds are today.

Oh my goodness, look at the time, where did it go, it must be dinner time, and I’ve not even started to get things ready. where did the time go. Must have closed my eyes after the walk, it was only going to be for a few minutes.

Hello Mr. Crow, will you help me while I start preparing for supper. I had a good day, thank you for asking, how was yours? hmmmm oh I see, you were busy with your pals clearing up left over seeds at the neighbouring farms.
