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.

My Two Boys


It is so amazing the way they interact when they are together. Truly, boys will be boys! They hit. They push. They run. They play. They chase each other. At the end of the day, they even sleep in the same bed. That's the way it is for Nick and Spike. Nick came home for a visit this week, and the action was never ending. Nick went home today. It's so quiet. Spike misses Nick. It's just way too quiet.
