Love you, Friends!
My favorite flowers, Cosmos, for you.
For you when you lift me,
laugh with me,
love me-when not loveable-
and listen to me.
I love you!

Gene Kelley.
see last post

Have you seen this guy dance?
Have you heard this bird sing?!
I am in love with all of his old musicals,
especially the ones he directed and choreographed
(Singin' in the Rain, American in Paris).
He only has to smile and I just melt!
It was a different era of dance and expression.

One of my faves from "S.I.T.R."
OOhh, la, la. Cyd Cherisse and those endless legs!
Gene is definitely one of my top 5 actors




These are the crazy things running through my mind when I get off
the phone with Cami P.
LOL!
I'm her inspiration
One powerful flick!

Crazy Swiss Bird Lady.


Hey, what do caterpillar footprints look like anyway?



MY inpiration!
Love ya, Cam.
Your turn

Liberation.
Today a childhood story is coming to the surface
for me. Embarrassment and sillyness follow:
I sit in my elementary school principal's HOTSEAT
getting the 20 questions regarding a reported
kidnapping this day. "Sabrina" is my 8 year old best-friend,
blonde, cute and has been carried off
by some ruffian in a hotrod
from the church parking lot
directly behind the school.
Another witness regurgitates the same account
and we sit.
I don't know what happened after our false report,
but this memory came like today's winter storm;
fast, scary and uninvited.
How many years has it been since I thought of this?
Why would I ever have thought this could be harmless?
Did the principal report it to authorities?
Today it might be a different story.

Tell me your story and we'll both be liberated.
Thanks for the inspiration, Kati.

Dear Bluetooth,
Are you my friend?
or is technology my worst enemy this week?
You must properly turn the unit off for the remainder of your conversation NOT to be overheard. No harm done, mercy in fact, yet painful nonetheless.
My mother warned me clearly with her negative experience,
but the gadget gets ahead of me and my weakness is
revealed.
Some will relate.
And I'm sorry.

Sandy!

This is Sandy.
I love Sandy.
I was Sandy's aide at Lakeview for a few months.
I love doing toes.
Here are Sandy's pretty toes.



Oh, and here are Sandy and I soaking wet
at the Saratoga Super Soaker last summer
(a fundraiser for Sandy's sweetie, Cassie Cox and her brain tumor).
We danced like we were back in high school-
silly and "mother earthy".




Pretty, pretty toes.
Sandy and I also love
salsa
good, homemade cookies
music, music and more music
games
creating
laughing
learning
and sometimes even crying.
You are amazing.
