Paradise Preoccupied

Treading water while burdened by worry prompts a shutdown. A bit of verse and some photos on offer, though:

Hue Cares?

Not ice, nor powder
no robin’s egg,
no nothing royal
neither slate nor steel,
electric or baby
Cyan’t and indon’tgo …
just BLUE

Thankfully, there are kids!

     Thank you, Robin. Amber lives in England, and although her dad is Seychellois, she has her mother’s English Rose about her … a real doll, she is!

   Sandra, the kids look like lots of fun to be around. Just last night I pondered the thought of volunteering with an organisation like, Big Sisters. Many years ago while my son was growing, I volunteered. I miss the energy and enthusiasm of little ones. Time will tell, first, though, I must take care of the business of moving and finding work.

   Stay strong, Sandra.

       Most of us are dear Sandy if we just stopped and looked around for a moment 🙂

   I hope the worry is resolved soon Sandra. While I miss your wonderful contribution to the blogging world, your happiness is a much higher priority.

   CJ just looks gorgeous!
