My Gentle Giant - Spike

That's what a worker called Spike today when he saw him.
I had never thought of that.
Spike, the Gentle Giant.

Me and My Shadow

Some days are like this. It's rare, but I'm bored. I shouldn't be because I have to clean my house, make some jewelry, and cook supper. Yet, today, on this gorgeous summer day, I'm feeling lazy and bored. When I was a child, I was alone a lot. There weren't many children in my neighborhood. Actually, there was only one that I could call a playmate. Her name was Dolores and she was 4 years older than me. She was very nice to me, but she was older than me, so I didn't see much of her either. I had no brothers or sisters. I was an only child. I wasn't lonely though. I had many friends. There was Fu-fu, Kastrina, and Drinkwater. Yes, you guessed it, they were imaginary, but they were my friends. I had one other friend, my shadow. We played a lot together when no one was around. Since I was so bored today, I decided to do something that I could never do as a child, and that is to take pictures of me playing with my shadow. Here they are. It's just Me and My Shadow.


















Now, where did that Shadow go?



















Here you are. I feel like Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind." This is fun!


















We're stepping high on the grass! This is good exercise too!


















Now, I'm a paper doll. I haven't played with paper dolls since I was little! I love it!



















Now, we are at the disco with John Travolta strutting our stuff on the dance floor.



















Well, I'm still dancing to the music only I can hear. I wonder what the neighbors think? Oh, well, me and my shadow have had a great time! Bye. I'm going to take a nap. I'm tired.
