- the tree is the same - used it as a Seasonal Tree this year - instead of packing it up and hauling it out again - will certainly do again next year - most ornaments are hand-made [not by me] - but, I did collect the seashells and Sand Dollars - cracked open the Walnuts .. matching the halves, then gilding them - any needle-work done by other hands - if you look closely, there are some old fashioned shade pulls - guess my Mom had them - now, the tree skirt [ with a white feather that fell ] - ankle length skirt ..green/white satin embroidered with glitz located in Florida at a Mosque Thrift Store - red with coins on top of it is a belly dancer hip belt - the more glitz and jingle the better [ at least that is what our Dance Troupe thought ] 3 PiP - the collage on the right side has up close photos of the ornaments - © All Rights Reserved -- EXPLORE --

The Common Buckeye is Pam Johnson's favorite butterfly - So, this is for her ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the latest update from Jay: "Pam is awake! I went in at 9am and she was awake. I told her everyone missed her and such. I told her I mowed the lawn and she raised her brow. "Then she wanted to talk and could not because of the tube. That's when she went into a panic attack and they had to sedate her. So, I got 3 minutes with her. "After the staff reported that she had been awake earlier in the morning, the head doctor decided it was time to remove the tube. That will probably happen today." Please post this wherever you like, it is the version Jay expects to be published. - received from Marty [San Francisco Gal-Pal of Pam Johnson] 09/18/2018 [ no idea which time zone this one is as Marty is in Kansas now and Jay is in Oklahoma ] Archive Airings AA-264 - ** ABOUT ** -- EXPLORE --
