"For you I'll create
Artistic works of poo,
SPIDER BITE ON LEG. NEXT DAY IT WAS SWOLLEN SEPTEMBER 3 2013

We have a neighbour who comes here in the summer time to stay in his childhood home,  each time he comes,  it rains and rains and rains.....so I made a picture.  Of course my frogs love the weather,  but they seem upset when it's so wet that bugs don't fly about.  Sure,  there are days when it doesn't rain, otherwise I would kidnap Heikki and sell him to the Arabs as a rainmaker,  but these sunny days are so few that in the 15 years he has been coming here, I'd say there have been no more than 21 days with sun or just a sprinkle in the day.

For you I'll create

Artistic works of poo, since

You save them in bags

WRITTEN BY A DOG

august 10

what a wonderful day this has been....all types of "things happened" but one very special event.  The grandson, Teemu, of the woman who lived in this house long ago, came by out of a whim.  She has spread her beautiful branches high and strong and he was a most wonderful young man. He has seen things in his life few of us witness, and it is not for me to say here, but this humane is a very kind and giving person. I was so thrilled to met him and to pass on to him the small treasures I have kept for over a decade,waiting for the hand to put them in.

it is so strange to see how when you give out of love you are blessed nine times over.  I witnessed this again today.  will write more when I have time.

oh and now I know who Panu was, the name carved on the rock, it was the family dog, Panu, a mixed breed dog.  how sweet.  Teemu's  grandmama guessed by the drawing under it, and Teemu called his mom and there was the answer to the question I have been curious about for about 13 years.  Google couldn't answer that one!

Selma and Heidi sitting on a tree, one jumps off, the other one looks on in glee, while  I'm here on a bended knee, says Selma, please Heidi will you marry me, now Heidi looks down and Selma looks up and Heidi says yes, and you down there,  will you marry me too, Selma smiles and shouts, yes, my darling I will marry you.

now this is all fantasy...but it's tonttu time and I feel bewitched.

so introducing, Mrs. and Mrs. Hese!

august 10
and after all my shopping, this box was waiting at the post....gifts from the wild woman. it's so nice to be surprised with something so lovely and beautiful.

just was thinking..how fortunate i am to be who i have been shaped into.  i am old and round, broken and have many knots and wounds, i have pieces missing, but without all that has happened to me, would i be as compassionate and loving towards nature and the human race.  I don't know.  

better pictures coming soon

six bowls arrived,
only five survived,
a gifts from the brides.
they will now have the  place of pride,
and when I look a them
they will make me feel gay inside.

earlier on the 5th of august

just had to buy these candies at Ikea this evening, they look like Brazilian worms with their intestines showing, am sending them to brazil so daughter can serve them on a plate of food and see the reactions when people bite into them...

I THOUGHT OF THIS ADVICE AFTER YOU TOLD ME PAULO HAS DENGUE FEVER. PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE WHO LIKES SITTING OUT IN THE EVENING OR WHEN THEY'RE HAVING A COOKOUT. NO ONE LIKES THOSE PESKY MOSQUITOES ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THEY CARRY THE WEST NILE VIRUS.
HERE IS A TIP A FRIEND SENT TO ME.
PUT SOME WATER IN A WHITE DINNER PLATE AND ADD A FEW DROPS OF LEMON FRESH JOY DISH DETERGENT. HERE WE HAVE FAIRY AND I THINK THERE IS A LEMON FAIRY. I'LL CHECK SET THE DISH ON YOUR PORCH, DECK, OR ANY OUTDOOR AREA. NOT SURE WHAT ATTRACTS THEM. THE LEMON, THE WHITE PLATE BUT MOSQUITOES FLOCK TO IT, AND DROP DEAD SHORTLY AFTER DRINKING THE LEMON/WATER MIXTURE, AND USUALLY WITHIN ABOUT 10 FEET OF THE PLATE. CHECK THIS OUT...IT WORKS. MAY SEEM TRIVAL, BUT IT MAY HELP CONTROL MOSQUITOES AROUND THE HOME.

Cinco de Mayo

First run in 1948, the 125-nautical mile race is steeped in history with one of Newport Beach's international sister cities, Ensenada, Mexico. With more than 50 trophy categories and classes for monohulls, multihulls, and cruisers, this race is great whether you are a first-time racer or an experienced pro!.

REVENGE IS MINE AFTER 41 YEARS AND HOW SWEET IT IS
there will be a story coming here...beware those relatives from Porvoo because I have the dope on your family

JUNE 9 2013 continuing story of this day
fire in the car or where there is smoke there is fire!
This has been a dangerous day, the truck filled with billowing smoke, had to get dad and tempy out, the smoke continued with the engine off, I was grabbing what was important not to lose in a fire, breathing in smoke, and now 12 hours later my lungs are aching. The smoke finally stopped, I made dad and tempy walk home, I was too embarrassed to call the fire department and decided I must find out what's causing this.
Had the car to service last week and told them but they checked and found nothing.
So to hell with that, I had dad take the dashboard off on the right, and the pictures tell the story. I dug out a litre of dried leaves. Dad is trying to order new parts now on-line.
 The main matter is this, it could have ignited, fumes from burning plastics and flames could have been shooting out and tempy getting hysterical and impossible to get out, and I wouldn't leave her to burn and die. Damn, and why the hell don't men listen and make a plan of action when I tell them there is a problem. I had to really demand dad to take the dashboard out, and now he says, it was a good thing to do. I already asked 2 weeks ago.
What would have befallen us on the trip yesterday if this would have happened?
I must buy a Fire Extinguisher!

The Original Text I had here has been lost...so to try and replay, the words.  I was heading out to the dentist in Kuopio and was halfway to Leppavirta when I smelled smoke in the car.  Pulled to the side of the road, shut the engine, told Robie to call 911 after he removed himself from the truck.  I quickly gathered all the inside backpacks, purses, and car papers into a large Ikea bad, who knew when the truck would be engulfed in flames.  Glove compartment empty and all places, like ass tray where I keep my scissors and knifes.

So we wait for the fire department, no fire, and he started the car, no more smoke. He can smell the old smoke and told us to drive to Leppavirta with him following us in the fire truck.  Off we went  in the truck to the gas station, thinking, I wish they were driving this and I was safely in the fire truck. The guys from the fire department told them to check the truck, but they didn't find anything wrong.  I was too dismayed and upset  to go to Kuopio, so went home.  It smelled bad inside and I knew something was wrong, but couldn't find out what.  Hop up to June and you will see what we discovered, nearly to late.  We could have dies of noxious fumes and fire.  It paid off to grip and bug Robie to open the front dashboard, but did it have to take 4 months.

SOME PEOPLE ARE SO DUMB


OCTOBER  26 2013
people are so fucking dumb...last night I heard banging and banging, coming from pasi's house, his music blaring, I thought he was hammering. went back to what I was doing. dad is out walking tempy, the banging persist, now it sounded like a drunk banging at the door. I went out to the street, saw dad and tempy and walked over to Pasi's. Ilpo was just coming home from the night shift. and there was pasi, only in his underwear, locked out of his house, his friends dead drunk inside and sleeping and pasi banging away. I brought him my bathrobe and finally persuaded him to come inside and get warm. I mean there is  snow on the ground and I gave him a pair of dad's socks and a warm cup of blueberry juice, which he didn't drink.  I asked him to call his parents or girlfriend and finally he did. his folks live a kilometer away and an hour later hadn't showed up. pasi went outside, couldn't keep him, he wanted to go, and he continued banging the door. honestly, some people. and he is engaged and will marry in November. can't the girl see he is a drunk, or does she only see a man who has a home, a good job. That house has the soul of a drunkard...remember the previous man, won't even dirty my site with his name. dumb drunks.

no beliefs at all    Feb 6, '11 6:01 PM
for everyone
My daughter came over with her data stick and said, "mom, open this you will have a big laugh".
I opened it, had to read it through a couple times, I wondered why my son would write my daughter about my beliefs and especially since he hasn't had any contact with me for 6 years.
I wondered where that notion came from that I am a Muslim, I live in a small village in Finland where the people seem to be connected over the years by the same gene pool, believe me it shows,and since I am dark haired I guess they think  I could be anything, a gypsy, a jew, an arab, an indian, small minded people have no fantasy and especially here, they are afraid to ask or approach me. I am not Finnish, but an Italian-Anglo mix born in America, married to a Finn.

I really have no religious beliefs, I was raised a Catholic, but in the last 10 years I have lost all faith in God.

What ever you believe is yours and yours alone. I am what I am now by what has shaped me in this life, and for me there is no God nor after life.

August 28 2011

It is three years since I left for that doggy home in another dimension where I can be with mother and feel and hear her inner sorrows for me, but where she can't enter into yet.  She hasn't been able to fully heal from me leaving but I come to her in dreams and she wakes happy and smiles all day long. Mommy has a new dog, her name is Tempy but mommy is so afraid to love her completly.Tempy is a wonderful dog and loves mommy and follows her when she goes about her work in the gardens. The only thing Tempy doesn't like is mommys truck and it causes mom fears to travel alone about Europe so she has been staying in Finland.  I use to go with her when ever she was in the truck, except when it was too hot, she said it wasn't good for me, and mommy knows how to care for dogs and all animals. Does anyone out there know how to help a dog like trucks,mom really needs to travel again,she is so alone in Finland. Tempy doesn't get car sick, only won't go in the truck unless lifted, and Tempy is 18 kilos and too big fo mommy to lift. Also when mom stop, Tempy wants to jump out and it could be dangerous. Please,my dear doggy friends help mommy.
Mommy, please go and sit in the garden by my grave, I am there wagging my tail and when the leaves start moving you will feel me.I love you, forever and ever.

Here and Now    Jul 29, 2010
All we have is the moment,the last gone, the next might never come,we dream of days long past and wait for new dreams,yet we never seem to live this moment, i can't record this moment as it is gone as i write.

it's been a long time
I just read some old blogs of mine...well things are as before but i have found ways to cope. I'm not so sad anymore, and I find that staying up all night I have time to myself and no one notices I'm not up in the early part of the day.I get up about 3 pm and just make motions like I care, waiting for the night again. Soon in Finland we will have light all night and I can go out and walk alone or with our new puppy, Tempest.

I had a birthday 2 days ago, I was 64. Bloody numbers. Wish I was 19 again and back in Newport Beach, California, sailing to Catalina Island and diving. What the hell am I doing in this frozen zone of Finland?

I cannot possible consider the act of defining myself with words. Words are inadequate to describe a simple yet complex person. So hopefully through the expression of myself through my works you will get to know me.....

and if you don't, get it and learn too



Be true to yourself

why do you ask,
is it all right
if you don't mind
there is work to do so I can't rest

it's too late for me
you can't change a partner
what you have is what you get
why do I love you
I don't know
but I'm in misery

I give you dirty looks
I just can't take this one way life style
why don't you talk back

I have always been a rebel
you are a follower
that's your choice
and I am happy that I have been bad
after all my relatives still remember me for being bad
not a bad thing to be remembered for
gives people something to talk about
and to think the United States of America wants me, hee hee

where are you all my lovers
and if I knew where you are
what would I say
I still remember

I am here to stay
you know that
but I may go away
I don't care what people say
but I will be back
I can't stay away

I want to dance
I don't care with whom
I just want to dance
I don't need romance
but I want to dance
wonder where Freddy is

I was a beautiful teen
I dated many
but one of you died
Russ Dobbins
will always be a teen angle

I let one of you lovers go
I made you cry
you don't know why I left you
I have been alone inside
so now I cry inside
alone

I am in a blue mood
I am sorry
sorry through and through
because I hurt you

When I am away
I see you
I hear your voice
I miss you when away
I want you with me
but a one way conversation is boring
Why oh why do I love you

So you can dust and clean
and take out the garbage
do the laundry
take out the dog
and I won't be there to talk back

well I can't fly
but I can drive
will I be caught
I have to take the risk

I'll be back!

January 2nd, 2008 going to bed at 19:30    Jan 2, '08 12:29 PM

the children and robie are on a train as i write this, just spoke with robie, he is exhausted, poor darling. hope he gets a good nights sleep. i too am so so tired, my eyes hand heavy and my body just goes from one room to another in a very slow and paced way, even heidi is tired. i give pauli and pirjo 1000 gold stars for the great care they give these kids, however they manage, it's a miracle. still it was fun and exciting, but i know we could never have them again without a nanny here too.
thanks for the time with the kids and now i shall go to sleep.

first post
hello there! well i suppose i'm suppose to write something. first of all, i don't like using capital letters and when i do it has a meaning to it or just a mistake, take your choice in on what you think it is. I really don't expect any one to read these words, so i shall shout off my bad moods here.i feel i have earned the right to be angry, mean and nasty,with so much physical pain and emotion pain in my life, i don't see why i should smile and be kind. i use to be nice and optimistic until i found that people will hurt you and use you till their own needs are met and cast you aside, anyway in my life karma it seems so.
Posted by hobo

wow this is exciting, great things are about to happen and you will follow the long journey that I am embarking on and you too might join me and some of you could advice me. In turn I hope I will help those who need it. It will take a day or two to get started, but weather permitting I will be done with my home outside soon and able to go "for it".

bored beyond recognition, march 1, 2007, 22 days till spring, 20 days till more light than night, where am i, where am i going, where will i be?
march 11, 2007
everyone is doing what they do best at this hour, the dog is dreaming, the grandfather is sleeping,
grandma is in her robe sitting with insomnia and the daughter is in her cottage e-mailing her friends about the world. the lane outside is quiet, its too cold for anyone to be out and about, the sky is dark and covered with deep clouds and the small streetlight shines on the snow. a few rabbit tracks are about and a fox and earlier this week a lynx was seen up here.
i wonder where you are. In noisy Manhattan, sirens going day and night. In southern California, smog filling your lungs with pollution and where looks are everything and the shops know how to suck all your money from you and whats left plastic surgeons take. Are you down in Australia, so beautiful but filled with creepy crawlies, i loved living there for several years but the snakes and bugs, yuk. Beautiful beaches and those nasty sea urchins and sharks, rays and so on. blimey. You probably aren't in any of those places, as if you were, you wouldn't be blogging. Hope you aren't to lonely. You could always try something new in your life, you only have this one.
cheer up, you could always be me, the butler. write again next Saturday

well its a bit after midnight, but since I got up on Saturday and haven't yet gone to bed, i feel its Saturday. Last Saturday went by and i forgot to write, i have so much going on and getting the head filled with "just too much".
if anyone reads this and can help with a problem, I would like to read news without bush, Blair, and war. i need a break from so much wrong doing. i know i should feel lucky that all is smooth where i live, but people do get the governments they receive. Americans just sit back and except all the lies, and the Brits, if they can have their pint, what the hell. all the damn money spent of war and only the rich profit. just think of all the communities that could be made for those in need, and home cottage industry to take care of their own. western people in English speaking lands aren't free, they have their values all wrong and care about matters they need not worry about. The church and gays, whats wrong with gays, they have great taste and work. kids are given drugs to be quiet, why, kids should have fun, only now a days it cost so parents put them in front of the tv, no wonder they get wacko. be aware of yourself and change what is around you if you don't like it. start in your own yard, not in another mans country.

it's just after midnight and so it's Sunday April 1st. 2007. What type of distress will i cause my family today, turn off the power and tell them we haven't paid our bill, no that won't work, my husband has the bank pay it automatically. maybe I can fill the toilet with some gross colored flush able debris and when my daughter comes in we can hear her scream "who forgot to flush". I'm not good at practical jokes 'cause i hate it if one is played on me, i don't take lightly to being teased. my family expects me to do something, but in truth I don't want to.
Guess what just happened, daughter came in, i teased her, said she had bird poo in her hair and she believed it, than hubby came in after his shower and we both teased him that he had poo on his backside. off to shower again, we said April fools and i started to laugh so hard i died laughing. who will take over this blog next week.

to be on the tracks again
There are certain advantages to being a hobo, at first they seem selfish and so too they may be but the life of a hobo, no cell phones, no knowledge of family, just wheeling about in the chain of events for one's daily survival. Today has been one of those days that I wish I were on the tracks to whatever junction the train happens to be going in. I just hate it when someone I love becomes ill, or receives bad news, when one has to slowly see someone you love desperately with all ones heart and soul, growing old, weaker and in pain. It was a hard day and I feel like vomiting, and like all the walls are closing in and the ceiling is pushing me down and the floor coming up to squash me. I feel like my skin is crawling with tentacles and being squeezed to where there is no air. My eyes hurt from crying, my blood pressure has gone sky high and my spirits seem to have deserted me . Damn what a day, I love my daughter so much and ache when I see her suffer from procedures and in the same day get more bad news from another doctor. Oh I wish I could vanish into sightless air and never had been to begin with. Am I selfish?

Five Knees
Just woke up with knee pain and I asked Robbie to rub my knee cap, and I turned over so he could do the other four as well, and became frustrated as I couldn't find my other 3 knee caps, I was so confused where they were when suddenly I remembered I had 10 toes and only 2 legs and I was getting my 5 toes on each foot confused with my knee caps. I know it doesn't make any sense, maybe this is the beginning of memory lane going round the bend. I can be thankful for only 2 knees, I'm spared the pain of the other 3.

Time Lapse
No it can't be, summer has come and gone and I missed writing since last May and now in 4 days the long dark nights are here and I am trapped in this country for the duration of winter. I wonder why we can't get away, the older get the harder it seems to get up and leave, the "get up and go" seems to have gone. Too many obligations, getting old is a rip off, just when you think you are free of responsibility you are caught up with aches and pains, and living off a pension, but if you are lucky with grandchildren and adult kids that have made it and living a good life. Dream on.

soup slops everywhere
so much for making a vegetable stock, and forgetting to put it away and a well meaning husband leaves it in the kettle, puts it into the fridge, without a cover, and on a top shelf, now remember I am knee high to a grass hopper, and tonight, after 10 , I went to add some things in the fridge and moved the kettle and slop on me, my wool sweater just washed yesterday, and my face and hair, the floor, the shelves, on the food and all over. I don't have enough energy to throw a hissy fit just now, getting to damn old, but I felt the heart racing and for a short while felt sorry for myself. well its all cleaned now, it's 1:14 in the morning. I am off to the shower as soon as he is finished in there and than i will relax a bit before going to bed.

frustration in organization
I think I am starting to understand why so many people are so terrible messy. It takes time, and really "waste of time" to put things in order. I can see the advantage in keeping the house up, but gosh oh mighty, these computer passwords, and sites, blogs, web pages, g-mails, it takes days to get the in order. No wonder the dummies use American-on-line, it's dummies for dummies. I have been trying for days to get these damn codes in order and I'm in ever so big of a rush to go see the grandkids down south that I think it might be to my advantage to get back to snail mail, write, stuff, lick, drop it in and its off. sounds like sex in my hay days.

up beat but not beat nicks
well here i am in Turku with the son and daughter-in-law and 3 very up and running grand kids.............it might be my age but the amount of energy in these children is enough energy to run the lights in Manhattan. I can't get use to the shouting, teasing and high pitch of the 2 younger ones, last night my ears starting ringing like church bells in Rome. wish you were here with "billy", I'd bury my whole head in there and smell the sweet smells.

fat, fatter and getting fatter
I have no idea how to loose weight. I read the books, I try and try, but somehow, somewhere I am going wrong. To the conclusion, that I will die younger than I need to, and will need medications, and be looked at and laughed at by people. My whole family is thin, what am I to do? I just looked at this lumpy, ugly mess of what was once a beautiful and desired body, this lump of fat is disgusting and I just want to cut it into pieces and feed it to the fire. I wonder if all the unwanted stress has something to do with it, and changing countries and foods so radically different from what I was use to, could play some role in this lump of lard? I'm afraid that if I die I won't be able to be cremated, because I will be too big to be put in the oven? Oh God, I'm so claustrophobic, I'm dreadfully afraid to be put into a box and buried, my hands become like ice when I think of it. Maybe I should start smoking, smokers all look so thin. But yuk, the smell is enough to put me off.

I am so alone
Unloved, not desired, lonely feeling so sad, I want to hugged, to be listened to, be held, I know I'm old, overweight, but inside I am still that 19 year old girl full of life and dreams, I want to love, to give love, to share, to be one with the one I choose for my life partner, but he is lost to his mac computer, his daily dog walks, his large bowl of raw oatmeal and other fiber foods in the morning,his routines, he too is old, older by 5 years to me, he has a slight dementia, and his butt is sagging like an old plastic bag, he isn't the dream I married, but we know each other and should share ourselves to one another, but he doesn't want me, I cry as I write, I am in a place I don't like, this place of no love, no sharing, oh why, oh why. His passive aggression to me is so hard to bear, what am I suppose to do, ,maybe I should give up the air and breath no more. If only I could find the courage and will to get in the car and leave. If only He would never follow, he is comfortable here.

(beginning text from the Sorsakoski multiply site)

Dec 22, '07 2:26 PM

Well I arrived in good time to fetch the kids from the bus station. It was cold and grey but in my heart it was warm and fussy. I was so excited to have the 3 kids for Xmas. A bit like Queen Elizabeth and her grandchildren. She only likes them when they are old enough to ride horses.

Well I have always loved these little ones, even when I didn't know them, but today was a big day for me.

The bus was 30 minutes late, poor kids, and when they opened the door to the bus, what a smell, farts like a swamp. Too many people, too much drink and the wrong foods. Poor kids. Heather was pale and sunk in her face. Topi was his usual bouncing ball and Johnny look relieved to be off the bus.


Dec 22, '07 2:34 PM

well we arrived home with poor heather looking like a comatose patient, she could hardly walk and their was no bounce. I put her straight to bed and she just slept instantly. I went off with Tobias and Johnathan to get some more foods, I let them go wild with their chooses and we came home. Robbie and Heidi put things away and I made a not so interesting dinner. Tomorrow starts the real food. Speaking of food, I bought a real fresh turkey and also 2 Guinness beers to teach johnny to make Irish stew because he complains about lihakeitto, so I thought to teach him the real lihakeitto from Ireland.I don't know much about beer but they froze in the back of the truck and opened and their was beer all in the bag and when I carried it in it went on the hallway carpet and clean kitchen floor. And what a mess. Heather stepped in it as she took her boots off before going up to bed. So, so much for beer in the Irish stew. I have to explain, I had the turkey before picking the kids up, so that is why it came in first with Heather.

Dec 22, '07 2:42 PM

first evening    

things went pretty well, a cup of tea went all over the front of me, and I had a dress on, trying to be a grandmother, so it's now in the wash. Tobias had just had a bath and was all clean and had his evening snack and dropped the food on his lap and shirt, after that he was playing on the chair, my back was turned and he fell off and hit his head on the dresser. Robbie swooped him up and comforted him, I forgot how he adores kids and is so gentle and kind. Tobias was soon comforted and wanted to go to bed, but I keep him up for another hour as all head injury's must be watched.

Heather and Tobias are now sleeping, They were in bed by 8 P:M:
Johnny is on the computer just now as he just had a late evening snack and likes his rage game.

Well I shall hang the laundry and the rag rug.  Thank God for washing machines.



Dec 23, '07 1:20 PM

for everyone
Heather has been resting all day, she has the fervor but it has gone down, perhaps tomorrow she will have her dancing legs back. I miss her active mode, who who have thought. Tobias is here and there and everywhere, tasting carefully needs foods and playing with legos. Johnathan has learned to cook, Irish stew, with Guinness and red wine,  it is fantastic. This teenager soon to be is unusual, he is so easy to be with, this kid is either very good or a very good actor.

we have had a regular day, heather rested till the afternoon and I even had an hour nap. Tobias is enchanted with his cuteness and teases everyone, sometimes a little too much, but he is 6, going on 7 and thinks he is the prince of this house. heather's fervor is down and she even went for a walk in the woods with Tummeli and Heidi. johnny is busy trying to win the 100 euro reward for the child with the least teasing, shouting, giving orders and neatness. Heather would you believe it is giving everyone a run for the money, this girl is an endless bag of surprises. i hope i could split the reward in 3, lets see. I now have to go, preparing the Xmas stockings for tomorrow, and have to get the turkey, stuffing, apple and pumpkin pies ready. we also will have yams, (sweet potatoes) cornbread, mashed potatoes, eggnog, (non alcoholic) peas and pearl onions. let's see what the kids will eat..

I know I'm a grandma,  and getting old, but my grand kids, they are such a new generation. these kids know they can control me by voice alone, they get louder and louder and Tobi becomes so aggressive, he breaks anything he can get his hands on when someone or something upsets him, be it his sister, brother or us 2 oldies.  so far we have been fairly quiet and peaceful, but those darn Xmas stocking and the candy, sugar rage, what a rage, now Robbie sees for himself.  this morning Tobi was showing his all to everyone and running after heather. I had to get johnny to get him dressed, still he thinks he is cute when he is out, but your talk helped  and  the barn door is closed. Still after all is said and done, they did eat turkey, stuffing and yams, they said they wouldn't eat anything, when I say they,  I mean thee 2 little one.

the little ones are asleep, heather seems nearly better, only 100 degrees F. and us elders are so tired, we are going to rest now too. later tonight we might make cookies, let's see. the 3 kids made all fashion gifts today, heather painted a box for her mom, Tobi strung up a pearl necklace and johnny made a chain of popcorn for the birds. well the turkey is hitting me too, night-night

what a day, to the health center in the morning with heather, poor darling, she hated going but Heidi is like Pauli and can talk anyone into anything and make it fun. heather is good about taking such foul tasting medicines, as a child i use to throw up liquids, heather is brave. it's been a good day, the meds work and heather and Tobi painted and played and watched the Flintstones on TV. I only allow one program a day and they are fine with that. Johnny finished his model plane with Heidi, he started it last summer and now it's painted and detailed. looks great. I had a sleep and while sleeping, someone took a picture of my big old backside with Tobi posing, I was so fast asleep I didn't know anything. Imagine my surprise when I just opened it, well tobi is so cute, I had to post it.

Tobi went to the play park and climbed everything he could climb, he learned about hydo electric power plants with Robbie, they just build one here, studied the village bulletin board, so iittala's factory.
when he came home he wanted me to spike his hair, note photo. heather's fervor went down but she slept nearly all day. johnny did what he does best, played the video game.
