Flipper Jumping For Joy!
Now here's something I don't do too often; hurrying to publish something at the bequest of someone else. HowEVER, since it was my dear departed Mom (yes, she's on the other side now - since June of 2002) who made the (rather urgent) request to drop everything else I was doing at the moment and hurry and publish these photos I took this afternoon of an intriguing "cloud" formation, I figured it was something I should probably do.
She approached me this evening while I was sitting at my desk working on a colored pencil drawing I've had in the works for a while. I sensed her presence immediately and I said to her,
"Mom! You're here!!" and she said to me,
"No, YOU'RE here!!" and I replied,
"Um... well, are you sure because I don't feel any different...?"
To which she responded, "You'll understand soon"... there's that word again... soon. Sounds like someone else that I also know and Love well, LOL.
So, I kept drawing on my picture for a while. Mom and I spent some time chit-chatting for a few minutes, then I got up and went into to kitchen to fetch a "guilty pleasure" (some hard cider we got yesterday, yum!). Evidently, it was my identifying that I need more "guilty pleasures" in my life and the feeling it gave me to recognize that I really need to "give" to myself more that incited my Mom's appearance at that particular time.
I went into the kitchen, popped open a cold one and sat down at the kitchen table with the jar of pink salt and my mortar and pestle because I realized earlier in the day that I needed to grind some more into the fine powdery dust that we like to use to sprinkle on our food (the salt in the jar I find too coarse for casual use) ... Anyway, there was Mom, right there with me, and she reminded me of the photos I took earlier this afternoon... and suggested I put them up on my website. And I thought that was a great idea and kept grinding... and it was then that she became rather insistent. So I went downstairs, started up the computer, got ready to transfer images from my camera to my photos library, and then the computer crashed. Seems to be a problem we've been having with the version of the G-Force video card we have. Sigh...
So, restart the computer... but pointless to wait on it as it needs to verify and repair ... I'm still not sure I understand that but... so upstairs to the laptop. And here I am... And here they are.
It really looks like Flipper (the bottle nosed dolphin) IS jumping for Joy!! Must be something really awesome coming... wink, wink... BTW these are just as I took them. The only thing I did to them was to make them smaller so they would fit on my web page. Enjoy!!
We hope you have enjoyed viewing these! And please feel free to share them if you feel so inclined!!
