Oh yesssssssss! What talent that girl has. Sighhhh....so many things that float my boat, but so little time. ;)

[grannie9]

Here is one I made this morning. Sharky's Frozen Tundra. Get it?

[Cardhu]

WOW! Gran you are getting better all the time. Of course, I mean artistically. :)

[JustAmy]

Welcome to Amy's Place, Grannie9.

Hope to see you again soon and often. ; )

[jaycee]

Thank you, Nan. Frankly, peppers are so high I only buy one! I have bought more when I knew I was going to use them in recipes the coming week! Yorkie swears by those green bags..I haven’t tried them but will. We got started this morning with lettuce. Told yorkie I was gonna have a BLT on toast for breakfast and my lettuce was bad. So I had a BET instead. Bacon, egg, tomato! Twas delicious!

[jaycee]

Explain that please! I thought it was a sidewalk painting, is it? You know those fancy sidewalk paintings that show up in email!

[grannie9]

Thank you for the lovely welcome, Amy. I have been lurking for a while, and I see some very nice, and very talented people here. ;)

I’ve been so busy with spring stuff, that I just haven’t taken the time to post. Hopefully, things will change.

[grannie9]

Ahunh.....lol. ;)

It's a photoshop deal. Start with the photo of the boy's dive and lay down a photo-like “edge,” lighten the water around the photo, put a shadow under the photo to levitate it and voila!

[yorkie]

Watching the Power Point Presentation of Ro Hi, the first thing I thought of, with each picture, was “grannie9”. ;-)

Thank you for sharing with us, Cardi.

[yorkie]

Did you photo shop it, LJ?

[Cardhu]

Yes Yorkie so did I — I think Gran is moonlighting somewhere.

[jaycee]

~~Just Saying Hi~~

[grannie9]

Who Moi?

I’ve been trying to fix my Smugmug account. No rest for the weary.

I have some pics to post for some DD friends, and they probably think I forgot them.

You are very clever, Miss Jagular. Love that post of the water.

[jaycee]

Lending a Hand

The burden does get lighter, when someone lends a hand,
His crew is setting to the task, although it’s undermanned.
It makes a pleasant outing, out of a grinding haul.
And he may even feel the help, as she gives it her all.

The biggest help that he receives, is company for the trip,
He’s graduated from a doryman, to captain of a ship.
He has to entertain her. He is the purser, too.
And he keeps the sharpest lookout for the welfare of the crew.

He likely will not stay the day, out at the chosen site,
But even if he did, the work would still seem rather slight.
Although the catch could be quite small, she knows he is a winner,
And they will have a memory too, no matter what’s for dinner.

Would you like to be added to my ping list?

Won’t hurt my feelings if you so, “No thank you”.

;^ )

[JustAmy]

Good Afternoon, NnB.

I enjoyed posting another archived poem. Thank you.

Hope your weekend is restful.

[Lady Jag]

No, I didn’t. If I’d done it I would have made the ‘photo’ border so it was a little thicker than its flimsy filmy look. Can you see what I mean? It looks like someone peeled the emulsion off the backing.

CARNIVAL IN VENICE

The carnival of Venica was first recorded in 1268. The subversive nature of the festival is reflected in the many laws created over the centuries in Italy attempting to restrict celebrations and often banning the wearing of masks.

Masks have always been a central feature of the Venetian carnival; traditionally people were allowed to wear them between the festival of Santo Stefano ( St. Stephen’s day, December 26) at the start of the carnival season and midnight of Shrove Tuesday.
