Comments are OFF!

For those few of my cyber friends who regularly comment here, I must express a deep apology.  I certainly know just who appreciates what I present, and I am soooo sorry...butt for the time being, and my own sanity, I must do this.

I can no longer go on momitoring comments from the cyber-bully trolls...Michael Giovanelli et al, who have connected my name and address to a pornographic website.

To them I give a massive middle finger, as I no longer need to read your aciduous, deprecating comments.

And, sweetie, you can stop sending me that BS "old people's stuff" through the snail mail.

I am on to you.

It's time for a little break...

...isn't it?

To help inspire us to continue on

There is the Supreme Being, who is always with us, one and all.

From My Window: Early Morning Storm

Scary, isn't it, when lightning storms hover right over you, waking you in the middle of the night.

This occurred Thursday night as well, at approximately the same time: 12:30 AM.

Not the highest quality video, but better than nothing.

The last boomer dumped the power here, which finally was restored at 12:55 this afternoon.

For some reason, here along the Lake Michigan shore, the storms get much more fierce.

From My Window: This evening's fog...

...looking from northeast to northwest

at 6:45 PM CDT.

Oh, almost forgot...Chicago's many miles of beaches were shut down today due the fog and the fear that the lifeguards might not be able to spot a swimmer in trouble.

Apparently, we are all too stupid and cannot take care of ourselves properly and responsibly while at the beach on yet another 90 degree day.

Bastille Day!

Claude Monet captured the celebration beautifully, yes?

And today is also the birthday of my grandmother.  Born in 1889, Martha chose to marry Benedikt, against the wishes of her family, and they came to the USA in 1912.  Their first son, my father, was born in December of 1914.

My Gramma, as we all called her, was a beautiful woman, a wonderful human being.  She passed in August of 1983....

If not for her, I would not exist.

So, today, I do not celebrate 'all things French', but look back to my childhood days, spent with my beloved 'Gramma'.

Because...no one seems to notice ART IN MOTION, I show you, again...

What is it you do not like about me achieving my GOAL of sharing these marvelous days?


Honestly...after dealing with this stupid troll and all my physical probs...I just might DEPRIVE all of you of a look into the mind of a true artist.


I, yes me, myself, shot every pic, and Photshopped each, most carefully, to make a beautiful video/slideshow...because my goal in my life is to re-create the beauty which we were granted.


Sooooo sick of Obama garbage, and they are both garbage...dithering idiots.

"Whatever happens is a result of their conduct."

I am 65 years old.

I like peas, a wonderful and healthful legume.

In my own estimation, however, Barky's "Eat your Peas" quote shows that he, himself, DISDAINS this marvelous GREEN legume.

Barky should also fall away from the idea (as should his fugly wifey), that HE is the 'parent' of these grand United States of America!

That freakin' troll...

..does NOT seem to understand...much of anything.

"Don't worry, the church that you hate used this YouTube also and gave them proper acknowledgement. See you ain't the only one - Racist!

By Honesty and Responsbility on I really think this bears repeating... on 7/8/11"

Stupid, just a stupid man..he and his wife...living half-underground...with glass blocks for windows.

And accusing me of being RACIST?  For what?

Dumb, Michael.  Go away now, and take your meds, like a good little 37-year old boy....
