Like A Duck To Water



Along with directing and script writing, 
DD has been doing a lot of production design
 so mama had this idea that a 
sewing machine might come in handy.
This small Janome in the coolest colors 
was a special on-line
with free shipping so I ordered one 
for her B-day. 
It is lightweight, will require little storage space 
in her teensy place, and has just enough stitches
 to make it practical for her to use.

Yesterday she sat down at the table, 
taught herself how to thread it, run it, 
and after scavenging through my 
enormous supply of wools
popped out with two "art" style pillows
 for her brother and his sweetie 
and the new place they move into this weekend. 
Since they never read the blog, 
I am not spoiling any surprise.

She was so pleased, did a great job, took to it like,
well....you know... quack quack
and I'm hoping I can convince her to 
try a small quilt before she leaves. 
Goodness knows I have enough fabric!
"sigh"
makes mama happy

Kinda wish I had bought one for myself in bright orange.

Merry almost 25th of December (wink)

Happy Merry Festive What The Dickens Holiday



A blogger bud Karen Ann,
one of my politically fearless pals did this post today:

I had to relate this tale that happened just two days ago to me.

This is my comment to her...

"This issue came out two days ago with another customer, a checker and me in the line of a store. The checker wished him (wearing NFR jacket and spurs- they were in town last week) "a Happy Holiday". He snarled back "It's not happy It's MERRY Christmas." She, the checker, smiled and said "we are told to say Happy Holidays as to wish all faiths a good season"..He said "It is damn Christmas!" While he was bagging up his stuff , I stepped up to her to be rung up and wished her a Happy Kwanza and him Happy Chanukah. He stormed off and she said are you Jewish? I replied no, and we laughed until I peed a little!!!

Get over yourselves people! It is a merry, merry no matter your race, creed or color.
and to you my friend......

a happy merry festive what the dickens holiday....
much love
z

So....
Could *we *just *stop *this nonsense?
No religion in it's pure form teaches

 intolerance
hatred
cruelty
injustice
violence

It is man that twists 
loving beliefs into an unrecognizable mass of 
hatred and greed.

It is man that could change it all,
but chooses not to.

This woMAN
says cut the crap
behave yourselves.

Please dear GODS of all faiths,
I pray that you
show each of us the path to 
everlasting
 PEACE.

You and Me Boo


After five horrific days in Neonatal
because of  hospital errors,
we brought you home Christmas Eve
24 years ago, praying all would be well.

You have brought nothing but joy to me
every day since my darling daughter.

..... and now you are a beautiful, funny, talented and smart
young woman

so very happy and in love

and tonight you are sitting in our family room
 with your beau
working on your script.

I hear your conversation and laughter
and smile...

you are home
you are well


Happy Birthday Boo
I love you so very much
mama
