A FRIEND OF YOURS PERHAPS?

Wow~ what can be said about Easter Island?
It really makes you wonder how these monolithic heads came to be on this island. Well I certainly know what I believe to be true but we all have our own truths. 


I love getting on the internet and viewing photo's. I think of a place or somewhere that has been mentioned in a book that I want to see and read about and there it is at my fingertips, that still amazes me.  I can certainly see why they quit printing encyclopedia's. I remember the days that the salesmen came to your door with the beautifully bound books and supposedly good deals. My Mother bought a set piece by piece if I remember right. I loved those books but wished they'd had more pictures.  That set of encyclopedia's was well used by our family throughout the years. I wonder what happened to them? 
When my Mother ordered the set of encyclopedia's  she also received a gift book. It was a big book with bright colored pictures. I loved that book it was pictures and stories about animals, insects, fish and reptiles. 
I was older than my little brother Jim. He was always asking me to tell him the stories about the pictures in the book. He was not allowed to look at the book himself he was to little and probably would have messed it up somehow.
So after much nagging on his part I would sit down with him. I would start to turn the pages and tell him about the animals and fish. He would start to get scared when we got to the pages showing the reptiles. Reason being is when the page was turned to this huge snake I would sometimes grab his hand and put it on the picture and hold it there, he would holler and I would laugh. He thought the snake was going to bite him. How bad I was. I did not always do it but he was apprehensive just the same. But still he wanted me to sit with him and turn the pages and tell the stories over and over again.
To this day I do not know why that memory holds perfectly clear in my mind. Maybe I was ashamed of myself, I should have been.  Jim and I used to talk about that book and that snake picture years later when we were grown.


I was out and about this morning but not as early as I would liked to have been. I was out of the shower had my small amount of makeup on and dressed ready to blow dry my hair and after minute or so the dryer just stopped. No burning smell no nothing it just quit. I tried the reset button on the plug in, nothing. So I guess it is done. So then I had to allow my hair to air dry and when that happens I have this horrid wavy mess that I cannot do a thing with. So I had to use the flat iron on it and the crazy waves still would not come out. So as well as slowing my morning down I look like a dork today!
One of my errands today was St. Vinnie's for more reading material. I have had my nose into my spiritual books for the past week or so and I wanted to get a couple novels for easy relaxing reading. That place was packed today. I never buy a thing in there except for books but a lot of folks are buying up everything it seems.
I made another run to the farm for more fresh vegetables and fruit.
Tonight I am making mushroom, onion and spinach, cheese omelets for dinner. I have some good sourdough bread so will make toast. We like a nice omelet every once in a while filled with some of our favorite goodies.


Another day of clouds and sun, not much sun though at this point. It is quite cool more like a coastal day. Summer will be here before long and seems spring has not really sprung yet. Just like last year. 


I heard from my niece Jaysa and she is coming for a visit. Hopefully this next week. She is fun to spend time with we enjoy one another. Hubby will be working so we gals will do our own thing.  Jaysa is the daughter of my younger brother Jim(the book story) Jim passed away in 2001. It was very sad for his two children. Jaysa misses her Dad, they were close and she adored him when she was a small girl. So I always want my door open for this girl the daughter of my brother who in not in my life any longer. If he knows that his daughter and sister get together it would please him so.


Well I must go now.  I have not walked yet today but now my back is letting me down so it may not happen. One thing I know I need to get out of this computer chair and plop in my chair that gives my back much needed relief.
Later.
