Idyll # 468 For those who like to read and write
Comments (105)Saucy, I agree you should go to the PC information gathering. I am not aware of how the PC operates very well since 1966! But I would like to add that there was great caution about health with removal of all molars whether they needed removal or not, experimental inoculations with explanations only afterwards, etc. I somewhat understand this, and expect you do too from your navy experiences, BUT...!!!!Also they were big on psychological evaluations and causing grief by trying to remove quite competent people from the program. (DH was one of those!) Also there was much treating us like children, surprise checkups, holiday and travel restrictions, etc. Personally I would rather do the work I dream of independently of an organization. I'd prefer to teach abroad, or work on bridge development, or whatever without the mothering. Certainly there are advantages too: quick evacuation, housing, sometimes doctors and vehicles. Money is NOT one of the advantages, though at the time (age 23) there was little to spend on. As an older person with children (they don't accept these kind of folks I believe unless the children are beyond school age) I'd be more concerned about income and so on. Just some of my morning thoughts. Photos: Saucy, this should remind you of photos you posted earlier. These are decorative tombstones in the Efik area of Eastern Nigeria. The faces and hands are painted pink or white oddly enough. Here are photos of the children of DH's school principal, Mr Nsofor. This is sports Day, 1965. DH played guitar with the Tex Dandies in town on a number of occasions. The child, Okereke, skillfully danced along in front. The tall man to the left was a PC man as well, and he was well loved by PC volunteers as well as locals. And here is yours truly with (now) DH November 7th, 1966 at our send-off party. (We were married in '68)The man to the right is DH's friend from Cornell University who taught at the same school. The Nigerian lady is Cecelia Ahaonu, also a teacher at the school.

It would be the same as me wanting 11 two zones away zone 8-12 rose shrubs there are jsut things I have no bussiness even attempting I do respect your sence of pride but as indicated you are setting yourself up to fail This very possible failure result is not what the 9 -11 roses are about I think you would do better making compromisies with flower colors and type...See MoreFor those who like wild color combinations...
Comments (4)Hi: Katkin, yes those are crotons. I never would have thought to put them with the purple queen and lime but they look great, don't they? Much better than by themselves. Ricky (Fawnridge?) would know which cultivar they are. Thanks, Silvia, we are about two feet behind in rainfall so we have a lot of catching up to do but my yard is finally sighing in relief. I am afraid it may have come too late for my lignum vitae though--native with a very shallow root system. I'm waiting for signs of life. Those colors look amazing together. With our bright sunshine, this is the way to go! Love it. Thanks for sharing, Silvia. Julie in WPB...See MoreFor Those Who Like Blue and White Christmas Decor
Comments (40)Kswl, glad you liked the tree topper. I love blue and white and have so much in the house, from various plates (antique and contemporary Spode and Burleigh etc) to some Asian pieces and my cobalt blue Bluestar range, but I've never done a tree. Maybe now that we are empty nesters : ) . Mtn, I could happily buy at least one of everything on her website!...See Moredianela7analabama
