This was Mother Nature's prank in my world...

OOPS...I can't get Picasa to upload my picture, It snowed!

Picasa's April Fool prank?

Any pranks in your world?

GOT GREEN?

When I was a kid...a younger kid, I always thought it was so cool to hide my green on St Paddy's Day. You know, if you're not wearing green, someone can pinch ya! BUT if they do, and you are, you can pinch them back...twice!

But hey, there'll be no pinchin here.  See all the green on my blog? Ya, I knew I'd have to be prepared for this day. And my undies have green. So do my socks and even that overtheshoulderboulderholder I'm forced to wear has a little flower with...you got it, green leaves! Now I just need some unknowing soul to pinch me... Mwahahaha:)

So ya, I'm ready for the day, right down to the green eggs this morning:) But with no disgusting dye involved. Huh you say? Ok, I'll share my green stuff with ya. Actually I'll share McKenna with ya, she's the one who showed me... Just Go Here  and you'll see how. And if ya like Smoothies, especially green ones, she has them too.

Now if I could only catch the green little dude with all the gold!

And whattheheck, if ya need something to give ya the green giggles, here ya go:)

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!' Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddy looked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.'

 

Can't finish this without a little ditty from Maxine....

Have a pinch free day :)

XOXO

ALWAYS REMEMBER.....

Those who served then....

And now.....

I hope you can take a few minutes to watch the video....

This Veterans Day is extra special because of the year 11/11/11

I'll bet every one of you have someone in your life, somehow, who is a Veteran. War sucks, the cost is unbearable. But the men and women who fight for freedom are priceless. God bless them all

Today is also the birthday of a priceless man who taught me what real love is, and let me know I was priceless in his eyes too. My Grandpa. 1892-1972  He would have been 119.

Happy birthday Grandpa.
Hold tight to that chunk of my heart you took....





Carry On....

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY...

AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH


May there always be work
for your hands to do;


May your purse always hold
a coin or two;


May the sun always shine
on your window pane;


May a rainbow be certain
to follow each rain;


May the hand of a friend
always be near you;


May God fill your heart
with gladness to cheer you.




Enjoy your day, Irish or not...


And if you need a giggle,

Maybe you already know about Arthur S. Mole and his living pictures. If not, here's a little information from Wikpedia...



Arthur S. Mole (born 1889 in England - died 1983 in the United States) was an English commercial artist who became famous for a series of "living photographs" made during World War I, in which tens of thousands of soldiers, reservists and other members of the military were arranged to form massive compositions. Although if viewed from the ground or from directly above, these masses of men would appear meaningless, when seen from the top of an 80-foot viewing tower, they clearly appeared to be various patriotic shapes. The key was to photograph the people from the one place where the lines of perspective would resolve themselves into intelligible images. His partner in this endeavor was John D. Thomas.
Mole worked as a commercial photographer in Zion Illinois, north of Chicago. During World War I, he traveled to various Army, Marine and Navy camps to execute his massive compositions. He is considered a pioneer in the field of performed group photography.  Executing photographs using such large numbers, and relying on lines of perspective stretching out more than a hundred meters, required a week of preparation and then hours to actually position the formations.
Ten images are most famous from this period. They include images of Woodrow Wilson, the Liberty Bell, Statue of Liberty, an American eagle as well as emblems of the flags.  
Mole's work is featured in the collections of the Chicago Historical Society, Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Library of Congress.





I hope you'll have a safe and wonderful weekend.

Enjoy your freedom....
