Thematic Photographic - Drink 5 & 6
Just as I get into the swing of things, the topic changes! So, I'm sneaking in a couple of late additions ;)
Our loved ones are immortalized on The Grammas' Fridge.
That first Christmas with Mitch, his bare chest, Santa Hat and an ice cold Mickey's,
led almost directly to the creation of that there beautiful ballerina.
I raise my imaginary (must be, it tastes good) beer to you, my love,
and offer heartfelt Thanks! for everything, really.

Hayden said Old people are cute on our way home from visiting The Grammas and Grampa Bob. We're sure he was talking about Gramma Mimi and not Gramma Baby,
me and Gramma Baby decided today.
Then there she goes, that beautiful old woman, leaving me this perfect snapshot of her life and it's just plain cute! We were sure she got her dose of pepperoni pizza ♥ and I had the honor of holding that there cup for her and wiping the pizza grease from her shaky hands.
From Snoopy cups and bendy straws we journey -
God willing, the journey calls us
right back to Snoopy cups and bendy straws.

Thematic Photographic - Drink 4
This was mere decoration before I came along.I was brave enough to make tea for the whole family at one time.
In between visits, it lives as decor on The Grammas' counter,
Where every glance brings a thought of me.
Gran & I shared a pot of decaf Stash Chai, because we could;
Joanna will do the same in July (God Willing).
We are so blessed.
Thematic Photgraphic
Meet Art
I love this recycled scrap-wood art the guy was selling;
sandblasting winds be damned!
I got to kiss his statue for luck
and he welcomed some Hannah/Patches ashes into his man-bag.
My purchase brought him 15$ closer to his goal for the day;
I pray he met that goal with great Joy.
Art of the Goddess, for the Goddess, by Art.
It's even signed.
I am so blessed.
sandblasting winds be damned!
How are you today?I picked the goddess balanced with both male and female power, as he jubilantly explained.
Great, how are you?
Psychotic, but in a good way!

Venice Beach Drum Circle
Out of the Tatooine-like sandstorm that was the Venice Beach Boardwalk,
Joy Observed Joy Multiplied...
Relocate the joy, and it still multiplies...
The power of the human spirit cannot be quashed by man nor god.

__________________________________________________________
15 Things you DISLIKE, HATE or CAN'T STAND & everyone else seems to like/love
1. FOOD
The very best Tamales made by YOUR grandmother. Still gross.
(same goes for her specialty dish containing any variety of internal organs)
2. DRINK
sports drinks (really, they don't make your teeth itch?)
anything containing artificial sweeteners (you can't taste that, that, that chemical haze in the back of your tongue?)
beer (there are more pleasant ways to obtain a buzz, lots of them)
3. BAND/MUSIC GROUP/SINGER
It used to be that I didn't like Mitch's music - White Zombie on our first date - so when he insisted on playing EZ E for me, I insisted on singing along... something about those words coming out of *my* mouth convinced him that maybe that wasn't the best soundtrack for our life. I still know all the words.
4. SEASON
Summer vacation season - I don't want to be anywhere where everyone is going to be at the same time. Sweaty crowds are not my thing.
5. SPORT
American Football. Kickers specifically, because they're not *allowed* to be tackled, they're from Italy: Fragile. Eat turf or get off the field, I say <3 Play REAL *foot*ball with the rest of the globe.
6. MOVIE
I refused to the The Titanic at the theatre, Joanna saw it more than 15 times. Good, yeah; great, nah. I'm not a big fan of Donny Darko nor the Saw series.
7. ACTOR
JIM CARREY. If I hadn't ever seen him be sweet on Jenny and her son, I'd want to run him over with my car. Luckily, I'd just rather never see him acting on any screen in my life again.
8. ACTRESS
The brainless ones, ya know like how I used to like that guy from Northern Exposure until he started dating Bo Derek, who makes Farrah Fawcett look intelligent...
9. TV SHOW
ER - I have pictures of myself on set at Warner Brothers; I still miss Chicago Hope with Mandy Patinkin ('ello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you have killed my father, prepare to die).
10. BOOK
Eat Pray Love It's a joke by now, everyone I know has read it and enjoyed it on some level. I've received two paper copies and the audio version. I don't know why, I'm a voracious reader cum listener who's tolerated far worse... even the insipid, truly insipid, Memoirs of a Geisha, and still can't make it past the old guy's house in India.
11. CAR
Anything new that sucks gas! My 20+ year old Honda car got 30+ mpg, it's obscene that there's any car made today with less!!
oh, and I think the new rounded Volvos are hussies.
12. HOLIDAY
Memorial Day* we're so busy in the country that we had to schedule a day off work so people could remember those who've died before - really?! That just seems sad sick and wrong to me - and to the folks who only get their headstones washed and read on the last Monday in May.
*with the caveat that you use it to Remember My Birthday
13. WEATHER
Strong sun, especially on the beach.
My whiteness loves the overcast, rainy beaches in Oregon - with bonfires, of course!
14. COLOR.
Black - not a big fan of sharing my lint collection with the world, nor investing my hard earned cash on lint removal -- lint camouflage is the best investment!
15. RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY
Hiking... though this may change in light of the recent HUGE increase in physical movement of diana - mostly I like camping where you drive up, unload your car and camp :)
