Ella and mom at the wedding. She looked like a little princess herself. And although she looks angelic she has the most raucous laugh you could ever imagine.
There has been ongoing mourning throughout the country for Nelson Mandela. A sense of sadness all over. A sense of loss and gratitude. here was a man who with his personal charm and vision united instead of divided. yesterday my son sent me a wonderful link, one that really spoke to me about the great love all of us here have for him. It is a flashmob, at a woolworths store with the Soweto Gospel choir. If you have time and inclination here it is, I think its wonderful

Thank you all so much for your kind words this week
Just returned from the monkey temple down the road from our place.
Never know what to expect upon arriving and this trip was no different in that respect.
Coming around a corner at the base of the mountain I could hear festive music unlike the other day when all I herd was temple dogs barking and monkeys fighting.
Getting closer I observed workers putting up bleachers and a stage along with canvas shade with plastic chairs common here in Thailand.
Music sounded old Thai and very pleasant to the ears.
Spotted some shade under a big old tree close to where the bananas had been, pulled in and dismounted with camera in hand.
Slowly walked over where some monkeys were devouring a pile of Jack Fruit, found a safe comfortable spot and just started watching.
Seemed to be a number of females young and old, most with new born baby's in tow.
After about 10 minutes I noticed the females were having some kind of dispute among them. Soon it was obvious what was taking place !
Older females were attempting to kidnap the baby's from the younger females, which is only a guess on my part.
Many ideas come into play, sense there was a new Alpha Male ruling the tribe maybe they were trying to kill off the old Alpha's off spring. Maybe they were jealous, maybe I don't really have a clue !
A couple kidnappers ran off into the jungle with a new born never to be seen again. This is real life in the jungle. Brutal at times, Beautiful at others.
This little guy was terrified but reunited with his mom only seconds after this photo, she was only an arms length away and keeping a close eye on him.
Right after arriving the sun broke through the overcast sky and the temperature sky rocketed as did the humidity!
Figured a rain storm was about to take place at any time, so I shot fast.
Didn't take long and a couple of rain drops hit my hat, large like a marble and fast. Stepped back under an over hang of rock and boom sky opened up.
While standing there big vans started pulling in full of Thais here for some type of Buddhist ceremony.
As fast as the rain came it ended but one could see this is only the first of what the sky had in store for us.
Fired off a couple hundred more shots and figured this is good for today as lightning was now starting to make it's presence known in a violent display of noise and light.
Pulled the rain cover over the Think Tank Bag, mounted my ride and headed for home before being caught up in another down pour that was on it's way.
4 clicks from home the sky once again opened up right behind me and started to do it's thing.
Leaned forward, twisted the wick on my scooter and went for it.
Had no choice, rain was right on my heals, falling faster and faster and catching up quickly.
Came flying down the drive way and into the carport just as the whole sky lit up and opened up, close one...;-)

Of course WeeNee and The Worm were nice and dry waiting for my return, they both had been stretched out on the steps under cover with out a worry in the world.
For the most part I made it unscathed, slightly wet on the back and top of shoulders, no big deal at all.
Right now it's hard to see the other side of the river it's coming down so hard, monsoon will be here in June.
As for the duct tape, knife, and tape is if I get bit, wrap it and head for help. Knife is for what ever use it needs to be used for.
For the next week or so there will be a number of monkey photos coming, hope your up for it. Thanks in advance ..;-)

Mom picked the photo we drew and painted from today. Something new for both of us, as we don't really have any windmills around!

Been fixing up old photos and found one of my Mom, she was very young here, this must have been from the 1940's or 50's.
I was in Memphis for my grandson's Christmas program at his dayschool last night. After today's tragedy in Connecticut I couldn't post any photos I took last night. I remembered this photo of my mother and us at the age of those young angels this morning. It's all I can post today.
Hug your family ..your mom, dad , uncles, aunts , brothers and sisters while you still can.

Minutes & hours are filled with memories & tears. There are sobs &wails that come from a place so terribly deep & wounded. And, there are moments of clarity & deep peace knowing my mother no longer hurts.
They say grieving is a journey that one travels in his/her own way. I'm walking the miles of that journey now & forever; one, healing step at a time.
Mom---I love you purely & simply, with all my heart. In your memory & in your honor I take my first steps BACK TO LIFE....

Mom aged 16 in 1940 on a warm spring day in Saskatchewan. I always felt she looked like she should have been in a coke advert.
Colourized from the original Black and White.
Mom is not a pet oriented person, but she has taken to this little kitten. The kitten was found in respiratory distress and my sister brought her to rhe vet. Mom named her China because she said she was delicate like a fine piece of China.
They are inseparable.
My mother was quite a dish back when she met my father! She was about 24 in this photo. This was taken on Long Island, when my grandfather had contracted my (future) father to build the family's weekend bungalow that eventually became their permanent residence. That's how my folks met!
I love this picture of Mom, but the only thing I hate about it is the cigarette in her hand. That is what eventually killed her. She rarely took a photo without one in her hand, either. Sometimes I think that entire generation went up in smoke!
She lived another 60 years, and passed away at the age of 84 on Christmas Day, 2008.
The 'Wall of Moms' had dozens of mothers in body armor, helmets, and gas masks.
Thousands of activists rally outside the Hatfield Federal Courthouse in Portland, Oregon on the night of July 25, 2020. The activists were protesting the presence of federal officers in the city, and continuing the Black Lives Matter protests that started after the murder of George Floyd.
Portland has been roiled by nightly protests following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. President Donald Trump said he sent federal agents to Oregon’s largest city to halt the unrest but state and local officials say they are making the situation worse.
The clashes in Portland have further inflamed the nation’s political tensions and triggered a crisis over the limits of federal power as Trump moves to send U.S. officers to other Democratic-led cities he says are violent.
This picture of Mom and Daddy was taken sometime in the 1970s. Today would have been their 60th wedding anniversary. Oh, how I wish Mom was here now. Daddy was transferred to a nursing home yesterday. I know they will be able to care for his needs. Everything went well until I started to leave. He thought he was going home with me. I hope this is a temporary situation and he recovers enough to return to my house soon. I will try to be back to flickr on a regular basis in a few days.

Today is my Mom's birthday. She would have been 58. I keep thinking it will get easier, but it is hard to know that one person that loved you no matter what is gone forever.

My husband gave this pretty plant to Mom. I remember him transplanting it for her. So to remember him on the 4th anniversary of his death, I present to you this pretty picture. I miss you sweetheart...Bob Kasten June 25 1951-Aug 12 2005.
Mom requested Chocolate Chip Cookies for today, Mother's Day. Baked the cookie recipe by The Hilton Hotel-Doubletree.
My kitchen notes: Added coconut flakes. Added only 2 cups chocolate chips.
DoubleTree Signature Cookie Recipe
newsroom.hilton.com/static-doubletree-reveals-cookie-reci...
Makes 26 cookies
½ pound butter, softened (2 sticks)
¾ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 ¼ cups flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch cinnamon
2 2/3 cups Nestle Tollhouse semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 3/4 cups chopped walnuts
Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
Add eggs, vanilla and lemon juice, blending with mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl.
With mixer on low speed, add flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, blending for about 45 seconds. Don’t overmix.
Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Portion dough with a scoop (about 3 tablespoons) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart.
Preheat oven to 300°F. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for about 1 hour.
Cook’s note: You can freeze the unbaked cookies, and there’s no need to thaw. Preheat oven to 300°F and place frozen cookies on parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
