Liking this sound is a no brainier ...they laugh from the depths of the body ...their eyes light up ..they hiccup the sounds from the belly ...it rolls up from within them...they are just bundles of pure joy over flowing ...one can not be near babies laughing with out laughing ....

Deciding it really wasn't me ....not having anything come to mine ....decided it is really just another silly thing ask of us ....
my motto is no motto ..I get up do what has to be done if I feel like it (retired you know )eat,sleep,work,..............not thinking about it, just do it ...wait maybe that is a motto
Waiting on the people around me to do what they have to do, so I can do what I need to do .Right now in the world in all its messed up glory I can only do what I have to do here...so as I climb down off the soap box please take some advice from a well know person of T.V. and screen....."GET HER DONE .... so.... I CAN GET HER DONE
Years ago my husband had a eight foot Angel holding a heart carved out of ice in our front yard ...She stood among the trees of our front yard from the day she was finished til well up into April that year...I have photos from the block of ice be dumped in front yard to the day of the final chisel mark ...she will always be in my heart ..she was a gift of love from my husband from the two artist that made her to the many many people who came and sat at her feet and had their photos made.....
I don't bite if you don't
I won't take your toys away
I share my toys as long as you promise not to tear them up
I share my food with anyone who wants it
I will hold you hand when we cross the street no matter how old you are
When you're feeling down, what music cheers you up?
Ok Plinky here is the deal ..Any type of music make me happy ..This am .... early am , I was playing Farmville on Facebook out of boredom . When up pops a ditty that happen in a mall
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXh7JR9oKVE
..Now this song is religious in nature ,but I found myself wanting dance from the joy of the song .....
It can be any sound ...if it stirs the soul...isn't it wonderful that music is that way ..each note of this song made my soul stir and my muscles wanted to react to the stirring ......at the very end when their hands rose toward the sky i found myself wanting to stand on tip toe and dance and throw my hands to the sky as well...now maybe it was lack of sleep ...remember I did say it was early o dark 30 here, and I was not truly awake ...Anyway take a listen and enjoy the feeling of joy and need to move .............................

Plinky's prompt was ......Do you believe everything happens for a reason? Rebecca's answer....NO
Plinky's next prompt was...... Why or why not? Rebecca's answer was........ Because I am the mommy .....and that is enough reason.

Because the term spirit is used in the meaning..I am not sure one can really say they have witnessed it....not sure that even those that face fear head on
thought about being brave ....it is just another term we place on being real to self ... so I have to say anyone I have seen lately is brave ....it take being fearless these days ...the true spirit of the human is to survive and so to me just acting on that spirit is brave ...shall we star a new metal business for being human ...wouldn't that be a hoot...everyday handing someone next to you a metal for just living the day through ...wow might turn the whole world around ....so here my friends is your metal of bravery from me because you are you and by being you and going forward another day and someone's else life have been enriched .......wear it with pride you deserve it
So Plinky I would have to answer the last time I witnessed bravery was now...here is your metal
Photo is photo of my husband .......one that I know faced a lot of fearful times in his life .....
Not sitting up in the mall
For over twenty years we were in the mall with our products...which meant days of standing behind a curtained off area ..getting the shelves together and the products of many artist on the shelves,,,getting all ready for the people that had to shop on the day after turkey day ...five years ago we gave it up and I have not missed it one bit .....
Not cooking from scratch
Yeah ...clapping hands for all the wonderful things in the market place now making it possible to enjoy the day along with others,,,,,
Not playing the guilt game
We no longer have family close enough to worry about the guilt thing of family ..and our children are told not to worry if they can not make it or have to work ...to much guilt is made of other during the holidays for no real reason....
Not shopping on the day after
we have never done this and I don't plan to now when I could ...I hate crowds and after being on the retail side of the game I know there are no.... I repeat NO .... bargains out there .....if someone tells you its 70% off you really should investigate their mark up
Sleeping late ,eat and sleep some more
Have learned to enjoy my age lately ...love getting up when ever the eyes open and taking a nap when ever the eyes say to.... babies have it right from birth....they eat ,sleep ,cry, go potty , eats some more, sleep some more ,then do it all over again....... yeap can't wait
What's one piece of technology you can't live without?
Just like a few others here ....finding it hard to live with out certain technology items is not hard at all.After living with my Grandmother for a few years as a child ....taking spit bathes and using a outhouse,seeing meals cooked on wood stove ...having one lone electric light hanging in the kitchen ...nope its not hard to live without any of the many wonderful items which we now find our self having.......but....could feel a knot of fear at the thought of having the newest camera taken away ..it has become part of my body.. its intertwine with my hand and finger..involved in my heart and mind ..find my eye becoming itchy at the mere though of not having the viewfinder with in inches of my eyes..... the wonderful wonders of see the photo the second you take it and having the power to change it and redo it is way to wonderful
Have you ever had to go without it? Yes, forgetting to charge battery ,plus only having one battery found myself having to take another camera. What happened?Spent the day cussing self .
Photo another one of my works taken today out my kitchen window......
Show a picture of your worst-ever haircut.
Oh my goodness...you didn't ask this of a lady ...did you ? did you?
There must be a computer era ...the screen is playing tricks again ...You know it is rude to ask a lady this ? Right ? You do know this ?HELLO are you listening out there ? Where are your manners ? My goodness a lady on her worst hair day would not run to a studio and have a photo made .....No ...No... NO!!!!! she would grab a scarf and cover up the mess and hide behind shuttered windows ....What are you thinking Plinky ? Have you no shame ? Show you a photo of my worst hair day ...I think not ...so here in stead is a beautiful flower photo I took a while back ...I want you to know you made the flower cry ........
Chocolate or vanilla?Both thank you and time any where
Why? because one is a nut and one is a bean and one knows that both rare needed to round out the meal. Give us an example.Coffee .Silly every one knows that .....duh
Photo ..another one of mine from a project
What's the lesser of two evils: Body odor or bad breath?
Now you have done it Plinky ....you made me have to pull out the thing that helps relieve all angry .....I pulled out the little machine that helps one get rid of pills bumps on sweaters....I mean really who thinks up these prompts..First I don't feel the word evil fits either..... anyway ..In Alaska we are a different breed of people ...nine months out of the year we are over dressed even if you are using the layering method...and boots smell because they are worn all the time ..and in and out of warm places causes one to sweat... guessing the nice word would be perspire .......in the summer we are either camping or gardening and fighting off mosquitoes ,,,,, so don't wear a lot of perfume or deodorant because in summer it seems to attract the mosquitoes ...so here one learns to stand at distance in either season and carry lots of tick tacks in case you run into a movie star or ex governor ......So really I am not offended by either ....Guess it takes all kinds of people in life.
The photo is one of the many outhouses across Alaska that I have taken with my camera
How do you cure boredom?Plinkuy again you ask the inner self question ...but I needed to know what boredom is...so searched the wikipedia and it says Boredom is an emotional state experienced during periods lacking activity or when individuals are uninterested in their surroundings.....hum?that about sums up me ......when there needs to be thinking through things or one has grown tired of every day things... I iron............I pull out the ironing board and the iron and the stack of clothes in the ironing basket get a once over....while ironing I talk to myself or scream out things to the non existent person in the room...on and on til the basket is empty or the problem is ironed out in myself ...
And what's your Plan B if you find you're still bored?I add music to the mix and dance around while ironing ....
The photo I added is a tangle of ice and hoarfrost covered twigs on a tree in my front yard
Here are a few photos of Gun Sight Mountain on the Glenn Highway in Alaska,,,the forces of nature cut a square of the top of the mountian which looks like a gun sight...things like winds and ice and extreme temps ,rivers and streams make this type of thing happen to the mountains in the area .....fall colours were just coming into the area as we were traveling around the highway ...I took the bottom photo into my photo program and tried film grain and black and white ...
