The reason no one on eBay bid on the practically-new Rockport walking shoes Jim bought at a yard sale (in MY exact style, size and color) is……

The Universe wanted ME to have them!!!

Oh yeah, Baby — you know I’ll be stylin’ ’round town in those!

I really like The Universe!

Do you?

I photographed the little figurine above yesterday and put it up on eBay this morning.

She (or he?) sits about 8″ tall.

Sail A Note Like A Ship Out On The Sea (Alternate Title — 21 Postcards From The Pretty-Much Non-Edge)

Sometimes a postcard will sail into your harbor
and sometimes you’ll only watch one float along
someone else’s horizon and into their mail box.

But you can always be the postcard yourself,
splashing your thoughts and words out to places like
Montreal, Michigan, Minsk, Montana & Maine*

via The Internet like this.
Or via the inter net of love we’re
all so deliciously entangled in.

And the poems just keep on coming for dVerse Poetry Open Link Tuesday!

Yes, I sailed those 21 out the other day.

Have any made port yet, I wonder?

One day I’ll announce a give-away here for 2 packs of those uplifting cards to 2 lucky winners!

Introducing….. The FREE Daily Photo Plan

Blogging, Photography | Posted by Jannie on 5 August 2012 @ 10:15 AM 39 Comments

Edit on Saturday June 21st, 2014….. I no longer do the Free Daily Photo. 🙂

Hey, guys — you know how you all are so AWESOME and such?

And how with my family’s recent financial “downsizing,” I’m actually WORKING for $$$ instead of drinking wine up in my tree all day? 🙂

And my available blog posting and hopping time is slimmer than of yore?

Well… how ’bout a FREE Daily Photo as a gift to you! It’s the least I can do, since I take pix daily anyway!

flower_patch_sans_hydrant

I’ll still be posting here, but ‘tween times you can access some daily Funsterment via that “subtle” yellow button up over My Big Eye at top of this site.

Hopefully that page will eventually be a blog-within-a-blog where you can leave comments. We’ll see how it goes!

And if I ever miss a day, please don’t worry — I might just be up in that tree!!!

And how ’bout these photos I took yesterday with my iPhone!

(That table shot will make more sense when you click the FREE Daily Photo Link.)

(Kelly’s the hand-stand girl wearing pink in the poolside photo.)

And see the fire hydrant below? Was is near the flower patch above?? Nope! 🙂

Let’s Go Down To The River

Photography, Poetry | Posted by Jannie on 31 July 2012 @ 1:42 PM 47 Comments

down_to_the_river_too

let’s go down to the river
and fill our socks with rocks
and moss and popsicles.

a_different_path

let’s climb the vines to
heaven’s rooftop garden,
turn day’s dimmer down

and disappear into
dustings of gold on a
castle’s windowsill.

into_the_sunset

and let’s remember —
love is always the castle and
we are always the gold.

(or, an even better ending
here on June 14th 2014…)

we are the castles
and love is the gold!

Dedicated to all who ever read this.

And to all who ever won’t.

Edited the poem a bit at 3:58 Texas Time on Wednesday, August 1st, 2012.

It needed a castle.

That the glasses were pre-owned by Super Special Secret Agent Gage T. adds much to their allure, I think!

Lots of boy energy from that yard sale — fun.

I know I’ve shown y’all that pic of me and Sister Rosie before. Couldn’t find the one I was looking for.

Oh well, one to look forward to!

I still have and sometimes wear the shirt I was wearing up there 18 years ago!!!

(Liara, that was taken on the lower deck of Mader’s Wharf —  Mug & Anchor pub in Mahone.

I DID blonde up my roots yesterday morning at 6:30,
