I have been forced by circumstances beyond my control to start a new life. With the start of this new life, comes a new title for my blog. It is now called, A New Journey... You can still read my old blog under 'Archives'. I hope you will stay with me on this journey. Much love to all.

"It's all Because you are Left Handed....."
While I was helping Tommy remove a rotten stump the other day, I found these three pieces of unusual wood. When I held them in my hand, they made me think of the Anasazi Indian dwellings in Colorado.
I showed them to Tommy and asked him what he thought. He thought they looked like rotten wood. I began to show him what I was seeing. To me, I could see a rock mountain where Indians used to live. The holes were the cavernous ruins of their dwellings. We saw these places in Colorado and Arizona. I have a postcard of it somewhere! It was plain as day to me, how strong a resemblance the wood portrayed the Indian cave dwellings.
I turned around and walked over to my "play area, Matlacha." I put the 'ruins' in an old orange birdbath, added some sand and shells to the scene. I took a step back and smiled. I was very pleased with what I saw.
Tommy walks over and says "Are you gonna leave that rotten wood in the birdbath?"
"Yes I am"
"Why?" he wanted to know.
"Because I like it there and it tells a story to me", I replied.
I never should have said that!!!
Tommy says, "If you ask me ( and I didn't) too many "things" tell you "stories"!!!
I started walking back to the house and Tommy begins laughing. "You know it is all because you are left handed!!!! Something in your wiring is crossed"
I turn around and give him the only sign language wave I know. As I walk off I tell him, "Just wait until you see what I write about you tonight!!!"
We were both laughing----I was the only one serious:)
I don't care what he says, I can see those cave dwellings! He probably can too and is just too aggravating to admit it to me.
