Chocolate Bliss , Easter tea and swirling saucers

Don't tell a soul, but....this secret is where I get my tea!
secret tea here..and you can buy it for me now, if you wanna. One of my favo's is easter tea. It smells just like easter!
Today is a magical wonderful day; full of bliss, dancing, sweetness in the form of Godiva chocolates, (a gold treasure chest of )... from easter bunny to me, along with tulips, and more candy, french tea in a magical russian china tea cup called swirl....sweet fun music, umm umm um!

I imagined..what if ?( dangeous already, the universe as we know it began like that....when God said, "what if," ouch...this life was created from the ripple of that.)...what if I were chocolate? My heart would be a chocolate covered cherry. Imagine yourself as a chocolate for a good laugh, musings .....

Thank you

Today, I went to church ( we all try to do that Easter Sunday, right?) I have only been to this church a few times, and today, I was late (redundant, huh?) and as I was directed towards a front pew, I kept hearing," Sherry, here," ...Sherry, sit here'. I turned to see 2 friends, I sat with the first that called my name. It was very nice. After church, Randa told me how much she loved the easter basket I gave them at the farm, she said it was so beautiful to look at they had wrapped it back up. She said it made her feel so good, and since her recent birthday was a flop, this as especially welcome. I was so happy they enjoyed it. I only made it because I love doing that, and loved them all so much. I didn't expect such a warm response. My kids never appreciated their baskers that much. Wow!
It is so nice, like a match made in heaven. I am so grateful for that! It has been a really nice day, and I haven't even had Easter dinner yet!

Happy Birthday Daisy, and happy Easter, too!

Daisy is 21 today, Happy birthday sweetie, I still remember you coming into the world backend first, as if you were resisting your first glimpse of life. This year, according to your chart, promises to be a better year than past ones! It may not seem that way today, or it might, but the year is destined to be better than the past years! I am just wishing you a wonderful day today, make it sweet by just accepting what is, if you can, and if you can't..call Me!

I wish I had been thre for your 21st, but I guess I figured you'd be out with friends, and I am sure you'd prefer them to me, (but I am more reliable!) We could have done eggs together, you, me, Jeremy, karen, John, Daph...wow, we could have had fun! Hope to see all of you soon! I love you!

My Easter Eggs this year.... I did these ...all alone..! After years of decorating eggs with kids and friends, I planned on company, but they didn't make it, soo...I had to decorate them all by myself! All 20 of them, all by myself, ALL 20!

Well, worse things happen than getting all the eggs to yourself, but it isn't nearly as inspiring, just seeing your own work there...yet I have to admit, I could do another 20 eggs or so! Here is an Easter basket I made for my farm friends; Jim ( known him 10 years), Kathy (loves Phantom of the Opera, movie, so much, she has single handedly paid for all their revenues, sending people to see it, also has horses), Laurie (new friend, has horses, too), Steve ( helped me build my raku kiln...well, ok, he built it, but I told him how!) Linda, (the astrologer) and Randa, (like myself, a manifestor/healer). I love making easter baskets, this one has 6 little stuffed ducks, all different pastel colors, so my friends can get theri ducks in a row! Also , it has candy rabbits, jelly eggs ( they used to be called beans) and chocolate eggs, and , of course, my easter eggs, cards for each of them, and a jar of fireweed honey for each of them..! I guess that is about it. Easter baskets are so fun...So colorful, and you can use toys; candy, jewerly, butterfly nets, boxes, bubbles...!

Easter, a time of determining which came first, the chicken or the egg...in non-dual terms, there is not a chicken, or an egg! There is no us, so there is no question to be answered, just a dream to awaken from, and we do this by forgiving others, which is the Easter Message. Forgiveness = Love. Love = freedom, freedom from carrying all that garbage around with us, so we can wake up in a new world very moment = Love = Peace on Earth!
The good news is, we can!
Happy Easter!

See Vue

I found this place on the Oregon coastThe See Vue Motel
It has many differnt rooms over looking the sea, it is a wonderful place to stay, and these photos they have on their site do not do justice to the warmth, and imagination of the place.
When I go here, I want to move to the area, and make pots and just live a simple artisans life, poor but happy near the sea.
I hope to return here soon, to poke around the beach, and the smal towns nearby.
The last time we were here, we had a picnic with olive oil crackers, wasabi cheese ( from Austrailia) and pearl saki. It was a real treat. wishing I were there now!

Emergency Room

I Guess I am ordinarily lucky that I have not had to spend much time in the Emergency room. As I sat there waiting for someone to take me to x-ray for the foot I severely twisted when I was cleaning the garage the other night, I was angry with myself for doing such a stupid thing, and putting myself out of commission for awhile. (Even though I had changed every thought that said I could have a broken foot or ankle to one of knowing it was all just fine and would be well in a day or so), it served to bring home a sense of what can happen, and how even a broken anything has never been a part of my life, except maybe for my broken thumb that I have jammed so many times falling skiing or skating,( and, of course, that bundle full of broken hearts that we all have in common). I play just a little too hard.

It was around 10 PM. I had just finished cleaning the garage, I had taken a step up towards the kitchen door when I noticed a cd from Putamayo there out of it’s case that I had seen somewhere earlier, I turned to find the case, and forgot, I guess that I was on a step, as my foot felt for the floor, there was none where I had supposed it would me, my foot turned all the way under itself and I fell to the floor. It Hurt!

I just lie there wondering what to do, feeling the pain and thinking the worst as pain began shooting through my foot and leg.. I began pulling myself up the stairs ( only 3 thank goodness) and into the kitchen.

I called for Michael to help me, but since I have this mini voice, I had to crawl closer to the room where he was watching tv. He came out and saw me there, almost in tears, shaking. I was very thirsty all of a sudden, and I could feel the blood draining from my head, and felt the color of white ……. I lay down before I fainted.

I couldn’t stop shaking. I learned later, just incidentally that when you go into shock the body can become quickly dehydrated. I needed liquids so badly my throat seemed to be dry and sticking together. They used to give IV’s immediately when people went to he emergency room for this reason. Instead, the woman behind the desk told me not to drink anything. No one asked me how anything was feeling except my foot! They noticed I was shaking, so they brought a blanket, But I wasn’t cold. I was hoping for a good looking doctor, "just to take the edge off my suffering." I manifested that quickly enough.."Greg," and I talked about Mexico for a few minutes before he disappeared to "make my air cast." I know now that is why the emergency room takes so long, they make all those gadgets they have to use on you, the ice packs, crutches, etc. I had my own crutches, so if they had noticed I came in on crutches, they wouldn't have had to bother making new ones, and I could have left 2 hours earlier! They weren't busy that night, gee, I would have hated to arrive when they were busy, everyone was strolling around...taking it easy. I guess maybe sometimes it gets very hard, so they are saving their strength! A calmer group of people i have never seen before..so if that is any comfort...!

Three and a half hours later, I was back home, and had an air cast on my foot. Today I am putting weight on my foot, I simply cannot stand using these crutches, they are a hazard!
I will try to put my foot up more today, I was bad about it yesterday. I am not a good patient.

So, remember to watch where you are placing your feet so this doesn’t happen to you and ruin your gorgeous day when you could be skating down the trail with your i-pod! Good news is, I can be all better in a week or so, I can still hike and skate this spring and summer! I am so glad!

Bright day...foggy day.........all indoors!

PDF

I wish I could link a PDF I made to my blog. I have been working on this brochure for Linda, my astrologist, and friend. The other day we made a search for the chart of Christ, and found a great link with charts that are amazing. Apparently this planetary configuaration that Christ was born under happens once in 40,000,000 years! I have now included that in the new draft of her PDF flyer. I f you are interested, I can always send this to you in an e-mail.

Linda lost her morning p/t job, and it is just as well, because it was a waste of her talents. She is awesome as an astrologer. I watch her when she reads someones chart for the first time, "Wow, she says," this person is beautiful, I would love to have this saturn in my such and such house! Or, " I have to meet this person, they have a light bubbly personality that is so wonderful to be around, umm, intelligent, and creative, too, I would get along well with this person because we both have such and so in our part of fortune!" Things like that, like she has a crystal ball and can see someone who isn't in the room at all.

She can actually see where this person has conflict, and when reading charts for couples, she can see where they have problems, and where they fit, or don't. Compatibility results. Astrology actually directs ones life. Go figure!

Take a bite out of this...

Apple has a new Imac. It just gets better all the time!

Computers just get smaller and smaller, this imac ,"is," the monitor! and it comes in many sizes.
There is a place in my heart, and in my house, for you!

Ceramic, Easter, Moorehaven

Just in time for Easter. This rabbit goes way back, to China, a long time ago. I found it looking at Alfred ceramic art in a search for Ruth Duckworth's ceramics there on the Alfred Museum site. I think he is wearing converse basketball shoes, isn't he?
It is a comical day already. Outside my window I was seeing a blurb of black moving upward, and then down, up then down.
It was a crow, behaving like a child. He was after the food in the feeder hanging low from a wispy branch, but high enough that he had to jump to see if he could get some goodies. Jumping like a kid trying to see something over his head. I wanted to get his photo, but scared him away. Now the squirrel is out there, eating as much as he can get of the food I placed there for my tweeties.
Promised Moorehaven photos Take a walk Easter and be delighted!

If the sun will come out tomorrow, I-Pod and I

are going skating first thing! The new shuffle I-Pod has added an interesting element to my skating...I dance down the trail now, and I find it to be a better work out than before, just skating, and more fun! It is smaller than a small pack of gum, and it hold about 120 songs..sounds great, too! I don't even need anyone along really, I just boogey on down, all alone. I-Pods are wonderful companions! But, hey, I haven't forgotten my other friends, I just haven't been skating all week long. Pooped now after a long day working on brochures, cards, etc. I am finally saying, "hasta manana," and it's about time!
