Turtles, Magick, Costumes, Creative and Grandma's Kitchen

I was an average goof off student in 

school. Mom always said that I was not

going to school to socialize. But I did not 

see it that way. I have always, until of 

late loved being around people. 

To say that it was amazing I made

it to graduate, well, that would be

stretching it, but I was not 

a straight A student. 

But sometime back I remember

telling my mom that if I had

the internet when I was in school,

I would have graduated top of 

my class. I have read and learned

so much thanks to the internet.

So, with that, I share these things

I found today.

 Meet Adwaita, an Aldabra giant tortoise who possibly lived to see 255 years.

Think about that for a moment. This tortoise may have hatched before the American Revolution. Before cameras existed. Before electricity lit up the world.

While empires rose and fell, while humans invented flight and reached the moon, Adwaita just kept walking. Slowly. Deliberately. One ancient step at a time.

Galápagos tortoises regularly live past 150 years. They've mastered something we're all desperately seeking—time. They don't rush. They don't panic. They've been perfecting the art of patience for 300 million years.

These gentle giants can weigh over 650 pounds—more than three adult humans—yet they survive on nothing but plants and vegetation.

In a world obsessed with speed, maybe we should learn from the slowest creatures on Earth.

That is so amazing. And just think

if this turtle could talk!!

Remember the story I shared 

about the frogs in Alaska.

Check this out.

These next memes are for 

all my witchy friends 

out there.

Sat night will be my night

with the Chamber of Commerce at

the Halloween Parade while I 

photograph that event.

I will be at the square an 

hour or so before the parade

starts taking pics of the citizens 

that come. I thought this

would be a neat idea to have for 

pics.

sometimes while scrolling FB

I run across things that get

my attention and for a girl

that loved her paper dolls, this

got my attention right off.

And look how adorable

this is.

So sorry, but this made me

laugh, however, I would not want

my child to wear it, but I would have

no problem wearing it myself.

 

Yes, this is me and I 

can so relate.

I have never been a messy 

painter but every time I 

paint these days, I have it all 

over me. I had to laugh the other

day when I looked at my arms

and it looked like I went

swimming in paint, cause

when I ran a press several 

times before, it was a thing...

the ink just always jumped off 

the press on me.

Oh yes.

For sure I would esp at 

Sunday dinner with all the aunts. uncles

and cousin were there.

The older I get the more I 

think about my granny and 

granddaddy, mom, my aunts,

and my uncle. When I was cleaning

my granddaddy's dresser the other 

day I thought of his hands touching 

it, opening drawers and pulling his

clothes out. And I thought about 

the fact by redoing it I was 

covering up the memory of 

his touch, and I hate that

thought but the memories are

really in my heart and not

in the dresser.

I felt that way when I bought

and moved into mom's house, 

I noticed the light switch

plates needed cleaning and as

I did that, I cried, thinking

I was wiping away moms prints.

Funny how things come to us and

make us feel.

Have a great day,

Pam
