Good Job Nina!!

SHOES

I can hardly wait. Love, Bopcha

Shoes are on the way

Hi Bopcha,



I bought you a pair of shoes and mailed them today. They are of the same type I have been wearing for the last month and I have say I have been quite pleased with them. I will be interested in what you think, so let me know how you like them. If they do not fit send them back to me and I can return them.



Love Sid

It is supposed to be a large photo

Hello Everyone,



Ha, Diana maybe Sid is just assuming that you would have wanted the photo smaller. But it was supposed to be large wasn't it - so that we can truly be reminded of the bliss of being in our 20's again, and of course so that we could get a close look at your handsome son.

It's definitely fun to see photos on the blog isn't it? Thanks for sending it along.



Oh Bopcha, thanks for responding to Nina's message so quickly. I am sure she will enjoy it once she gets to read it. Thanks also for sharing your poem. Sid had told me about the poem many times, and it truly is very captivating. When I was at my sister's this weekend, I showed it to her and she also was intrigued and we were trying to imagine the many thoughts that went into it. It is not easy sharing poetry with others, so thanks for doing that.



Sid is not joking when he says he is the man to talk to about objective vs. subjective morality.

As you can imagine, I am also learning a lot about it :-)



Have a great week everyone,



Love,



Sandra

That was one large picture!

Diana, Just for your information 550 ppi is the best size for posting the pictures (width), if you don't know how to scale it, no problem, I can show you some time. It is a pain in the butt. I hope the guys have a great trip. Brings back memories!



Sid

Ahhhh A 5 pager done

If any of you want to know about the objective view of morality... I am your man.



Good night



Sid

Lizards!

Nina, are your lizards wild? Did you catch them yourself?



I have never seen a blue tailed skink. We do have lizards, but not blue-tailed ones.



Fred is laying eggs. Ginger and Big do not get along. Big is bigger and Ginger has to stay out of his way.



Do your lizards lose their tails when they are frightened?



See you soon. Love, Bopcha

My Lizards

Hello Bopcha,

I have some news and a few questions. My news is I have two beautiful lizards. They are very friendly but shy but they will calm down after some time. Their names are Cuckoo and Coco. Guess which is which? The name of my lizard is Coco. Cuckoo belongs to Alex.



I am starting to be able to pick them up. I got them on May on a Friday. I was so excited to see them because I had to wait three weeks. They live in my room in a pretty glass tank. If I were them I would love my home in Nina's room. They are blue tail skinks and their tails are blue and they black with a white stripe down their back.



How are the chickens doing are they having eggs. I hope they do well and that you are happy with the chickens. I can't wait to see you and visit the farm.



Love Nina.

Another poem



Die, Love, don't linger any longer Too long have I walked hand in hand with hope

And quenched my thirst from rivers of desire

I reached out for a flaming heliotrope

And burned my hands, it was a raging fire



Poor heart, trapped within your steaming cage

You thought that Love would set you free

To hear the twinkling of the stars

And see the rustle of the leaves

But you were wrong! Die, Love, so I can live again.



Ha!

Jessica and I are hysterical! I had to call her the minute I saw your blog entry. She let out a big shriek and then burst out laughing, as did I. Great news for a Friday!

At the Horse Farm Today

Hello,



Today I am at New Bolton Center for work. The highlight is always seeing all the horses out in the fields and in the stalls. Sometimes, I wish I could conduct my meetings outside while sitting in the grass. But I guess no one would dare ask if we could have our meeting outside.

Today, when I saw a group of Vet students watching a woman riding a beautiful rich dark brown horse. I think the students were observing the horses' movements etc...



Diana, it is true that Italian men are "beautiful" and they know it too. They love to strut around in the summer, eating gelatos in the Piazza and showing off how handsome they are. Of course the Polish are much better looking :-) and everyone knows it. Italian men are nice to look at because they are so "pretty." It sort of ends there for me personally. Italian men sure love their mothers as you have probably heard. That makes Italian mothers with sons very lucky :-) :-)



Bopcha - isn't that wonderful that you got to carry furniture. Don't you wish all furniture was so light, I know I sure do. Most furniture is unmovable, unless of course you are really strong.

Well, all my meeting folks are here, I guess I should get back to work.



Will write back later.



Love



Sandra
