Homage to Cro

This is what is going right now in my yard. It is going all over the place for weeks. As if i don't have other things to worry about, now i am afraid that the house will collapse. I just realised that all our fears are a story that the mind is telling us, we are the creators of the story, the readers of it and  viewers of the pictures that the mind draw while we visualise the story of our fears, I  shall try to create happier stories from now on.

My house did not collapse and the orange monster just went away.

Waiting

I took the picture this morning and sent it to my son who went to Europe for a month.The neighbor's dog likes Edmund and come to sit with him every morning.

Few hours latter i noticed that Edmund is sad, very sad. I called the vet who took him to make some checks.He called me back now and said that Edmund has his kidneys problems again and he will be back home tonight. The vet is sending me pictures of syringes filled with blood and urine. all the pros and cons of our  times in one day.

Expiry date

If you listen carefully you can hear some Hebrew words in almost every big city in the world. That what happened to me in the 14 of December 2003 when i was in Amsterdam and saw hundreds of Kurds dancing slowly but happily  to the sounds of their monotone music. I heard some Hebrew words near me and asked the woman what happened. She told me that Saddam Husein was captured by the Americans. It all came to my mind yesterday when i noticed that i still have the gas masks from the Gulf war at 1991.I shall keep them to remind me that some of our greatest fears have sometimes an expiry date.

Here and now

There is a time when things that we liked so much  are not a big fun as they used to be, like washing the dishes after Friday supper.  Here it is still fun.

Home

Children  all over the world paint a house in the same way,like in my granddaughter's painting, there are some explanations for that which i don't know if they are the truth, any way i like so much their naive drawing and every time i come back home i have some more of them.

Happy new year to each and every one of my visitors and my friends in this wonderful place, blogland.

What's in my handbag

I don't have many things in my hand bag since i am not working any more , i have tear gas, Elephant, bear and cat, Lotto cards, small hair brush,credit cards and some chocolate's bars in case i need to solve some critical problems while baby sitting the grand kids. All the usual things like every grand mother all over the word have in their handbags. 

Hanuka is over (or the truth about real life)

This is the last evening of the holiday,a peaceful moment near the beautiful candles. I can leave it as it is here with the wonderful feeling of light, warmth and quiet evening, but the truth is that 5 minutes after we lit the candles, he wanted a toy that his sister was playing with, she wanted something that we could not get at that moment and the oldest one (7) was crying  because he lost in the card games.  They were fighting and shouting and crying for some long moments, until suddenly it was quiet again.Real life and blogland life are sometimes parallel universes, different but a like.
