Happy Anniversary Gala
Kirk~ I've wondered myself a lot lately if this writing thing is not something I should give up. But everytime I try I end up with even more pages. I for one would like to see more of your prose rather than less...

Terry...
You do have a way sir, of crafting something visually stunning, and sensually evocative with words....it comes as no great surprise that you can do graphic magic as well.
Dee dear----the daisy was awesome. Me? I make mudpies with words...but the ability to create something that expresses what the mind's eye sees, in a way that the heart and soul can feel...that my dears is the spark of the divine...and I bow humbly before it.
I know we blender regs seem awfully annoying to the new folks---but if you look back, you'll find that the Kev's, the Dee, Terry, Misti, Madison, Toklas, Gup, all of us were new once. When you've been around a bit, the blender is like a second home---only better...because when you come here, people are glad to see you...
Last November, I got into a posting tussle with a lady that I felt had ulterior motives to her post---forget what...that isn't important. Dee defended both the other lady and her art...and since the Short One's opinion had become important to me, I emailed her for the very first time, hoping to explain myself, and my actions. It was damned hard to do, because I fully expected her to tell me to do something anatomically impossible.....she was in fact an established and well loved Blender regular....whereas I was a fairy-come-lately....
So imagine my shock when I got back not a horrid missive telling me to screw off, but a sweet letter...written by a kind, gentle, and very talented soul.
Dee welcomed me warmly----and made the other Blenderites real for me. So while I thank the kind souls who have welcomed my prattles, and obnoxious opinions, I must state that if there is a queen around here, it's the Wench far to the South.
Thanks Dee....for the friendship, the support, the love---and the amazing gift of your talent. You are truly one of the better angels.
Love Gala
deevaa -put that on a poster and hang it in my room! my favorite flower is the daisy and you captured it all very beautifully. go with your bad self.
terry - i want that one on my wall, also - how marvelous the two of you are!
Terry: You can bring me flowers any time...LOL but you have to bring those words to melt my senses with them... Don't ever think of giving that up.. What a gift!
umm..... goodness.... wow.... I've been called an angel twice in one day, and guppy said I was kind, which basically translates to something pretty sweet......
thankyou thankyou thankyou....
BK -- and I'll fight for the flowers and the poet ... so back off sister.... hehehehehe... I'm claiming him. (writes MINE on Terry's forehead)
(giggles and dashes off)
take care of your hearts
dee
PS -- Gala, I'd forgotten how we got chatting... thats funny, I recall getting mails from both of you.... love ya!
(wondering what the correct etiquette is for telling a gentleman you've just claimed him...)
oh by the way I have big news.... (well for me its big news, most of ya'll won't care... its ok, I realise this)
My flights are confirmed -- I will be in the NY area from Dec 10 -- 30.... with a few days in Ohio around the 15/16th..... the first week I'll (hopefully if she doesn't change her mind by then) I'll be in NJ with Gala..... and after my return from Ohio, I'll be based in NYC (all things going well) ... anyone barring the people I've contacted already interested in getting together for lunch, dinner, supper, drinks..... or a general afternoon of making fun of the Kiwi chick? You've got to be willing to come to me, or meet me somewhere reasonably accessible, cause transportation might be an issue for me.
let me know.... deevaa@paradise.net.nz....
(turning about forty shades of red in a single blush)
uuuummmmm, I don't do the tattoo thing.....way to many needles, way way too much blood.
And the whole world is a garden, I'd rather write about 'em or draw 'em than kill flowers that way.....
t.(the one with a red face)
magic marker Terry... magic marker!!
Aw terry........one tiny little tattoo? Dee isn't asking much here...........
(sigh) ok ok ok, Terry you can go... I guess clinging to a guys leg as he is trying to walk away isn't a good look....
Dammit Dee! You let him go! And I had those leg irons all wrapped for christmas...now I have to come up with a brand new present for you!
Gala..........gasping for air......giggle.......
Ummm all you guys...thow me a line here? Jack, Kevin, Eric, guppy? I'm just not a snappy, flirting leave while they pee their pants sort of guy. Help me out with a comeback here? Guys? Damn what's that echo I hear? Must be my leg iron hitting the bars.....
t.
I go out to dinner and come back and boy can you tell it's almost a full moon around here. lol
