08-02-11 Hey my Aussie Friends in Sydney - so nice to hear from you and to meet your friend 'K"!


08-02-11 Hey my Aussie Friends in Sydney - so nice to hear from you and to meet your friend 'K"!

Question for L, N and K - do you believe in Time Travel?

Well more to the point do you think in 75-100 years that someone could travel back in time? 

Or is that something like "Primary Colors of Red, Yellow, and Blue"?  Too illusive to pin down......with our present scientific knowledge?

To my other friends, I promise soon to get back to the storyline(s) ......... here is a partial map of Victoria Harbor - with some of the street names.......the girls and I have been out - "Painting the Town Red"!

Saturday - July 31, 2001 - Find of the day!

The "find of the day", I've been on a trip to Victoria Harbor and someday I'll write more about my adventures there....and believe me you just won't believe the little things that have twisted and turned my trip into circles....but I digress - in a small antique shop - called of all things "Molly's Attic" - I found this sweet pitcher....isn't she the cutest little thing you've ever seen!  I just had to have her - I can see her now on my breakfast tray.......

July 13, 2011 Wednesday - Best Friend and Chocolate Covered Strawberries

It's nice to have best friends, especially when you can go for months and not been in touch and then call and say "Let's have dinner and catch up!"  Well, that is what I did tonight.  We talked and talked just like no time had/has past since we'd seen each other.  Such a nice pleasure to have dinner and catch up.

So dear friend - you helped me tonight figure out the storyline for Part 2 of Bear and the "Flying Fish" - sometimes telling someone the story out loud is easier than writing it down......

Now where did we leave off.......?


Enough, is enough, he just takes it in his mind to grab that piece of paper and bounds out the open front door......and is off to find mommy and the "Flying Fish".


As he bounds down the stairs and dashes for cover in the bushes and stops to catch his breath - he looks around and sees a lady walking her dog down the block, dare he approach her?  The dog must have sensed he was there and started barking - and Bear bounds away!


After many hours of wandering the streets, he is no closer to finding mommy or the "Flying Fish".  And then he sees a man with a sign - he cannot read the sign but he does see the picture on it - "Flying Fish" - yes, there they are! He follows the man staying out of site.


Down the block and around the corner - and there another picture of the "Flying Fish" - but there's no water - just a door - and people waiting in line, this can't be the right place.  What Bear has found is the Restaurant celebrating its Grand Opening!


A man with a broom, chase Bear away...........


Stay turned for more Part 3 of  Bear and the "Flying Fish"!

PS - suggestions and comments are welcomed to the storyline....Sandy
