Weekend Project

No, I'm not babysitting for my cute little niece, Gwenn ~ I'll be working on her birth announcements this weekend! It was tough getting a good photo, but I think my sister did a good job. One more work day and on to the weekend ~ have a good one!

Europa and the Bull



And gradually she lost her fear, and he
Offered his breast for her virgin caresses,
His horns for her to wind with chains of flowers
Until the princess dared to mount his back
Her pet bull's back, unwitting whom she rode.
Then — slowly, slowly down the broad, dry beach —
First in the shallow waves the great god set
His spurious hooves, then sauntered further out
'til in the open sea he bore his prize
Fear filled her heart as, gazing back, she saw
The fast receding sands. Her right hand grasped
A horn, the other lent upon his back
Her fluttering tunic floated in the breeze.

Step on a crack....

Step on a crack, break your mother's back. Step on a line, break your mother's spine. Superstitious sidewalk sayings dating back to 1905 ~ I remember carefully walking home from the bus stop avoiding all of the cracks and lines in the sidewalk so I wouldn't injure my mom. I think I skipped over the cracks when I roller skated, even though that was mostly to avoid skinned knees.

So, since I have no kids of my own, how is it that I have a broken back??!!! Well, maybe not broken (I exaggerate), but certainly injured! Sorry for the lame post (and pun) ~ there may be a few more depending on how long I am out of commission ~ hopefully I will be back to my normal self soon!
