I have an orange peal in my mouth with lines drawn on it to look like teeth.

Commented 12 years ago

I do have teeth but I like the comedy of it , perhaps I could do other patterns and colors respecting the season. I think that would be fun. Then too there is the 4th of July coming up.

I used to make most of my own toys so much so that after I was six I never got one.

I continue to design and even make myself some (kind of) toys - actual products - furniture - as part of my proffession and for my wife(! :)) as well as simple toys for my grand children...

I like to make to make toys too. I made a flying disk from an old record album when I was a kid . My dad saw me playing with it and called Mr Frisby (his name) to come over and sold it to him that day. I got nothing for that too. But it was nice to see all the things like that come into the stores as new products.

I always loved horses as a child. When i left school i joined the Household Cavalry Regiment (Blues & Royals) and done Royal mounted escorts & Changing of the Guard in London for 10 Years. Now a Farrier & still with horses putting their shoes on. All because of my childhood fasination with horses! Would not change a thing.

Horses are one of the greatest creatures after dogs. To have a horse nuzzle you is something most people never get to enjoy. Love them.

Will be in London in October for a month you have any up close and personal contact at the Blues and Royals to pass on to me. I am a Aussie.

When you go to London go to Whitehall, a walk up the Mall from Buckingham Palace and you will come to Horseguards Parade where the Changing of the Queens Lifeguard takes place every weekday. Wilst you are there please call into the Household Cavalry Museum. All of our history from 1661 to present day, with all uniforms etc.. are on display. The museum is run by members & ex members of the Regiment. It is a new Museum and backs on to the stables and you will see the lads going about their stable duties. You & ALL of the family really will enjoy! The main Barracks are in Knightsbridge but secuity is very tight & acsess will not be allowed, however it is worth a visit to see backed on to Hyde Park and the horses comming in & out of barracks being exercised in Hyde Park . It really is good. Keep in touch! Click on URL for more info. http://www.householdcavalrymuseum.co.uk/

commented 10 years ago

You're a real artist. I am impressed. Really.It's an unusual piece. I'm trying to figure out if it has some meaning that I'm not quite getting. Do you sell the pieces. You could if you could make your name.

commented 10 years ago

It's not that unusual. It' a picture of Melissa in a crouched position holding her guitar straight up with one hand and strumming it with the other. No, I do not sell my work. I'm not good enough for that.

commented 10 years ago

Ohhh ...Of course, Etheridge! Send her a copy. At the very least, you'd get an autograph to frame and hang. I've got my art on all my walls. Love it! In the beginning, I gave four pieces away as gift and as it turned out I gave my best pieces away. Dang! They were highly decorated wooden teapots. (They wouldn't hold tea) Michael's used to sell them -- alas, no more.
I paint mirror frames, chairs for children to sit on, pen and ink for framing, big dotted acrylics, two Matisse-like framed pieces of a girl with a guitar and another girl holding the chord book for her. The other one is a girl wearing a bright colored skirt holding a gift.

commented 10 years ago

I use to have all my art hanging but it got old after a while so it's all put away now. I'll leave the painting to you. I hate working with paints.

commented 10 years ago

We have a dairy herd at the school. It is a mixture of registered Holstein, Jersey, Ayrshire, Guernsey, Linebacker, and Brown Swiss. They unfortunately do not get milked by the students in class, as the time of milkings doesn't coincide with the school day.

bustie, Hope you went to Michigan State U. They have the finest agricultural program. I always wanted a farm too with animals on it. My mom used to say I should marry a farmer. Are you single ? Ha ha

commented 10 years ago

No, I went to URI, and the state is not actually much of an agricultural state, it is very densely populated for such a small state. I went for Pre-Vet-Med and was led away from that with my lack of skill for organic chemistry! I actually got into education after graduation, through a job search with the local unemployment office. They said "do you think that you could teach high school"? My answer, I grew up in a large family, and can handle high schoolers. I hung with a group of 10 in college, 9 were studying to be ag teachers, 1 wasn't (me). Only one retired from it (me)!

I loved doll houses. Every Christmas I got a new one cuz I could wear one out in a year. I had all kinds of houses - all kinds of dolls. I had tiny baby dolls who slept in cribs with tiny blankets and wee pillows. I played by the fireplace while the big people sat around and talked. Such peace and happiness there in the living room with the Ivy wallpaper. I grew up, got married and had two children. Surprise! : ) This memory is one of my first. I was very young - under four.
