Wordless Wednesday

What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander

I can’t help but smile when I think about all the Holiday geese who found their way into our kitchen. Roasted goose with potato dumplings and homemade red cabbage. A feast of the past, today a treat I rarely prepare anymore. It’s not worth the effort I have decided, but the smile on my face tells me otherwise.

110,000 Ghosts are Backing me up!

A lady walked into my workroom. I had been waiting on her, she had made an appointment a few days earlier. I stood behind my work surface, which puts automatically the required social distance in place. I wore my elephant mask with pride, while she wore nothing to protect herself -or me.

Can someone please pinch me?

I must be still sleeping and having a nightmare. Or perhaps these all are actors just pretending to be that …. What’s the right word here? Well anyhow. Thanks, Trevor Norah and Jordan Klepper for the laugh!

Another Mother’s Day

Every Mother’s Day I want to crawl in a hole and stay there until the annual demonstration of love and gratitude toward the woman who MADE you is over and done with.

And Life goes on! The World behind plastic!

Many people in Asia wear ‘Face Shields’ instead of face masks. Dancers in Bangkok are still very beautiful when they perform.

The world in pictures during Isolation

Made of plastic, it’s fantastic! Marcio Rodrigues is wearing a mask made out of recycled bottles, cans and cartons. The Brazilian photographer wants to design a suit made out of recycled materials if the quarantine in Brazil will continue.

The Apocalypse

This is the apocalypse
A daffodil has poked its head up
from the dirt and opened
sunny arms to bluer skies
yet I am filled with
dark and anxious dread
as theaters close as travel ends and
grocery stores display their empty rows
where toilet paper liquid bleach
and bags of flour stood in upright ranks.

Word Travels – Brazil’s Traveling Judges!

I have decided to get creative during the time of our partial lockdown. I have limited myself to one hour of news a day, my sunny disposition can’t handle more.

Besides working, cleaning and cooking, I have travel a lot -in my mind. I have seen parts of the world I would like to share. Would you like to take a short trip with me?
