Have a good day, Ann. You're another year wiser.

My son was born in August - he's definitely a Leo. Are you?

Basically, I think so - but an introverted one. Is that an oxymoron??

Ann

Just to go with the flowers and champers happy birthday.

When was he born?
What is a Leo?


Dick's birthday is approaching. I miss him.

"...here's to birthdays-past then..." quietly proposed the goblin trying to think which one had been his best, adding "...you know, looking back now, perhaps the best gift I ever received, for my birthday that is, was not what I was actually given, but more simply some unfading memory of those who gave me something, those late people in some long gone setting perhaps, but ever so mine still, and yours too, whenever you think back on it then, happy birthday ann..."

Your pictures are so cute.

Leo as in the astrological sign, Alice. (July 22- August 21)

I miss Dick, too. We should eat broccoli, or something.

Ann

Smoke a pipe?

"...thanks alice..." replied the goblin now, explaining "...you see, if I try to match what I write with a picture each time, then whenever I see some picture I am looking at its likeness to anything I have either written or intend to write about...", conversely it was exactly the same for his texts too, for whenever the goblin wrote something now, his mind soon flicked up images, concluding "...for me this posting is all a practice then, but not to be a writer now, nor to be known even, no, only a practice to become more articulate and aware for my old age if and when it comes for what else can I take with me..."

Oohh, I like that! I made a dream catcher once. A fellow English teacher - a Cherokee - brought a medicine man to the English classes, and helped us make our own. I kept mine above my bed as long as I lived in that house.

"...yes ann, those birthday gifts do help one to remember the giver long after its context has moved on it's true..." mentioned the goblin who looked back with a strange fondness mixed in with some regret too, explaining "...for example I remember flinging my school cap over the bridge into the river from the train, where I wish now that I had kept it, but also knowing if I had, I would just be sitting here regretting having not done that ritual as was custom then...", so that line reappeared again "perhaps we owe it to our past not to forget it, and to our present not to waste it, for who knows what future is owed to us in return", saying "...at night those dreams of my past dance before my eyes once more, as if the ghosts are called towards my pen, and amongst them childhood birthdays are ever vivid but that is what the ritual was about then, happy times..."

I'm a little late, Ann, but am wishing you many more all the same.

I too am wishing you a late birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Late is good. Thanks everyone. It has been a good year, a fine wine, as "Old blue-eyes" would say.

I identified with that song the very first time I heard it. Especially the part about biting off more than you could chew, and spitting it out.

Ann

..and many more.
