See you when (IF?) I return!  ;)
Everybuddy STAY WELL!

Enough nonsense ... let's get Sirius!

Bereft

 

The Gypsy Moon, who begs her Light,

Knows all about the Haunts of Night;

Terrored by her bankruptcy,

She steals the Sun's gold solvency,

Pawns it for a silvered mien

And so begins her Regents Reign.

 

But Sirius, who owns this right,

Who knows the Moon belongs to Night,

Will not be stilled. He whispers "Thief!"

She turns, in shame, to hide her grief.

Time for some (more) silly stuff:

Veggie-Table Manners

Do not stare at potato eyes,
Or, if you do - apologize!
And when you butter up corn, dear,
No need to whisper in its ear.
Don't try to squeeze some whites or yolk
From an eggplant. Do not poke
A pickled pepper. Don't squish squash,
And please do not spear mint, by gosh!
Do not pinch herbs. Do not split peas.
Don't overdress your salad, please,
Just do good veggie-deeds all day,
And for your wilted lettuce pray.

Announcement: TaDah!

Coming soon (I hope) to a blog near you (i.e., Marytales), a little
Mary Tale I'm currently working on called "SARA, THE STOAT".
IF I finish it, illustrations and all, you will see it here.

Also ... I may have broken my painting *block*. Fingers (and
eyes) crossed! :)

Loopy Nonny? Really?

Okay ...
really. ;)

 (English translation of the above text):

 

Nonny

 

My special older person name is Mary,

but I call her Nonny.  She is artistic because she

paints, sketches and writes. She's creative because

she writes her own songs. She is silly.  We call her

Loopy Nonny.  She is an artist.  I love playing with her and going plases with her.

 

I LOVE MY NONNY!

The above is my grandson Tommy's

school essay

written at the age of 9

on a sheet of looseleaf paper.

 

I treasure this more than gold

and carry a copy of it with me

wherever I go.

The original is on my refrigerator.

 

In case it's too hard to read

Tommy's handwriting up above,

I've typed a copy below,

just as Tommy wrote it:

 

Nonny (Grandma)

 

My Nonny is very old

but still plays with me. Last summer

she even had catch with me! Some-

times when she comes over she plays

video games with me. I think it is

amazing that she can still play with

me at her age!

When it's my birthday

Nonny gives me great presents. This

year for my birthday my mom and her

got me a $125 gift card

to toys-r-us! For Christmas she

got me two $50 video games. One

year for no reason at all she got

me and my brother a $250 chess

set! Presents are not the only

reason my nonny is my favorite

relitiv.

My nonny is fun. She

goes everywhere with my family.

Sometimes she goes to new york with

us even florida sometimes. She has

great plans (I guess that's where my mom

got it from). At disny me my mom, dad

and nonny all went on most

of the rides. They all took turns

going on the roller coasters with

me even my nonny!

Well you might think your

grandma is better, but I could

never ask for a better grandma

then my nonny.
