Dijanne .. first one is for you ..Ideas for you and hubby to tell me what it is. I loved it and Joe had to get it for me .. what a hunny he is.

Second one is a coat hanger I could not resist ... it has like a pinochio nose and has its tongue sticking out ... fantastic !!!

The next one .. we both saw and we like... I got this for Joe ... he fell in love with the piece of wood ... Dijanne again .. do you know what type of wood it is??
is it not stunning??

Head on view of the bugger

Ok we did not have a clue on what this huge spider was...
we looked on the internet and found out it was
COMMON GARDEN SPIDER... well its so common in all my days I have never encountered one NOR cared to if they are this big!!! Its feature is the white cross on its back .. this is a female one I believe.. I did not have the nerve to check underneath her but I believe she is carrying babies.. if not she should be on a diet!!

Scarey

While out having a cigarette, I bumped into this fellow... almost literally .. it was huge. I was going to take it for a walk but did not have a collar big enough. So I just had a chat .. and left it at that!

Creepy

Mom and I

Visiting with Mother last weekend ... she has just had her 84th birthday and she is still 'fighting fit' . For those of you outside of england and don't have a clue what that means it is that she is nobodys' fool and knows what she is doing. She lives in Kent, the Garden of England. Oh by the way she once served for dignitarys such as Sir Winston Churchill (can you believe) and Lord and Lady Cranbourn.
Just on the bottom of the picture .. you can see the top part of a cane.. her stick.... that has been across my backside a few times .... more then I care to remember actually. Hence fighting fit .. she still threatens me with it .. even today ... Love ya Mom

Happy Thanksgiving

OK well this is Pumpkin pie in progress.
I said to Joe .... Ok, I need to add two eggs! He promptly added them!!!!
Enough said ... I am still shaking my head!
We had a lovely dinner with turkey and all the trimming .. its the first time Joe would have had pumpkin pie .. and I also made Pet de soeur ... Nuns farts .. its a dessert with left over pie dough ... butter, brown sugar and cinnamon... NICE.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING CANADA!

The Big Bird

It looked good, it tasted good
Happy Thanksgiving !

Poem

Sometimes, I sit in the flat thinking of things in the past and what the future holds for me .. its times like this I am able to create with my mind....

things that come to mind on how it was and how it will be .. here is just a sample of some of these thoughts. Put to paper errr well to an everlasting blog!

Hope you enjoy :)

What and Why

When you think that your a Man
Try to find out, where it all began
Was it luck or just by chance
Is it the girl that gave you the glance
If it were a stranger or a wife
who gave you this chance in your life

Your feelings are Great
they come from the Heart.
But just wait till you part.

Money doesnt matter !
Look after your health.
One can't buy Love, not even with Wealth

Stand Tall and Strong
Where did it all go Wrong.
Tried your best
I'm NOT like the rest
Wait till your just a pest!

Think, then ponder.
The mind starts to wander
Is it her? Is it me?
This is not how its meant to be!
Thanks for the memory and for the Bliss.
They are the things that I really miss.

My minds in a muddle
I'll miss the smile and the cuddle.
It brings you down and gives you sorrow.
Remember theres always tomorrow.

Once this Love was ALL MINE
Just hope I have enough time to do it all again.
Who can say? None are to Blame

DO NOT GIVE UP! You must not bend,

LIFE, MEMORY

BUT NOT THE END

Wine , women and song WHAAATTTT

These are the crazy ladies I spent my holiday with ... in france.
We laughed till we cried and laughed again and again ... could not even see our drinks from the laughter. We all looked different in the morning.
We had lots of laughs .. good food , good lasting friendships....
We were all from all over the world, from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and England and Holland. We all understood each other very well .. though laughter , food and fun.
Once again thank you again for the wonderful time.
