WEEKEND 

Saturday was a real nice day, and we played our Question and Answer game on the terrace. There are two new residents, they look nice, we will see if they "fit" in our family ! 

 

On Sunday it was really hot over 30°C ! this is the second heat wave ! My friend Ilona had invited me and that was good, because in my car it was nice and cool and under a big tree too. We had a very good ice cream and chatted about the travels we had made together. There were quite a lot ! 

 

Before I left she showed me the last painting she had done before she too, stopped painting. She has no inspiration any more like me.  

  

She loves the Buddhism and has a few [statues] in her living room and a large one in the garden.

I woke up during the night and it was very bright! I looked out the window and saw a huge moon! I took several pictures because it looked so beautiful, and this was the best one.

of course the one I made with AI, looks much better !

FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

This week really wasn't good for me! After a spell of rather cool, damp weather, the temperature suddenly jumped up to over 30, without any sunshine, and the air remained quite humid. The result was that I had trouble breathing, especially when walking; just a few steps left me breathless, as if I’d been running to catch a train. I also didn't take part in every activity, since some were held in our restaurant which was freezing cold.

The problem is that no one knows how to manage the climate control properly; it’s far too cold, they leave the window doors open and by now, almost everyone has caught a cold. 

I made a picture and AI added icicles ! 

 In fact as it was so hard for me to move, I restored photos and made paintings all with AI. I love to do that. 

  My son during carnival, 1978, today there is even a grandma amongst them. The photo was like the others looking old a fade, now it looks like new

 

and beneath they are playing in our garden

 

 

This is my first marriage, unfortunately I don't remember the name of my "husband"

Then I tried out making photos without a photo just in writing !

Sea, sailing boat, sunset

It's raining cats and dogs !

grass, flock of sheep, mountains behind 

I had never made landscape pictures without using a camera and just writing what I want. 

and here I am dreaming of holidays, this is a real photo from at least 40 years ago in Egypt ! Looks like new !

 

I hope that next week the air is better and the humidity gone !

PARENTING ....

 

  

“A two-year-old is kind of like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it.”

 “The quickest way for a parent to get a child’s attention is to sit down and look comfortable.” 

 Why don’t kids understand their nap is not for them, but for us?” 

 “If evolution works, how come mothers only have two hands?”

 “Having children is like living in a frat house – nobody sleeps, everything’s broken, and there’s a lot of throwing up.”

 “Becoming a mom to me means that you have accepted that for the next 16 years of your life, you will have a sticky purse.” 

“Raising kids is part joy and part guerrilla warfare.” 

“Great parenting lies somewhere between ‘don’t do that’ and ‘ah, what the hell.’”

“A baby changes your dinner party conversation from politics to poops.” 

“One day I’ll be thankful that my kid is strong willed but that will not be today, not in this grocery store.”

“You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.” 

 “All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with white carpet is one of them.” 

“When your children are teenagers, it’s important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.” 

 “Silence is golden…unless you have kids, then silence is just suspicious.” 

 “Diaper backward spells repaid. Think about it.”   

“I have just returned from a children’s party. I’m one of the survivors.” 

 “People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t have one.”

 “Few things are more satisfying than seeing your own children have teenagers of their own.”

“Parenting without a sense of humor is like being an accountant who sucks at math.”
