how do you do




All the politicians singing how do you do

they all want to be my friend

they all want a piece o' me

on and on and on they drone....


you believe that shit??

we might be able to hike through the city

but  we ain't gonna be able to cross the ramp

they got the law on their side....

that's why they make the big bucks


see...I figure 1% of 100 may not seem like much....

but 99% of nothin's still nothin'

I got wolves baying  in close and chopping at my heels....

 only one match left to light the darkness

    I like this. It's full of angst, backed by truth and hard earned wisdom.

    Hold the match for a while, sweetie, before you light it.
    Hope lies in knowing there's still one there.
    The politicians may swing withe wind and nip at our heels,
    and the truth is as you wrote it:
    1% of 100 ain't much.
    But at least we got that.

    March on, I say, march on.


    Great piece. Peace,
    Randy

    Best not to trust politicians or rattlesnakes. Leave you to judge the rest.

    One match left in the current climate of the world sends shivers down my spine - although Trump may have one use - that fake tan has to glow in the dark!

    These excellent words are oh so very true, over here politicians are the same.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
