I not sure if you are one of those “little girl romantics” as I am. Down through the years I would dream of this outstanding wedding, held out in the yard or garden. I could see me walking down the path, all decked out in my wedding gown. Ahead of me would be my waiting groom, with a big smile on his face.
My yard wasn’t the most outstanding of yards, so my child like mind would adapt to the differences and figure an illusion beyond it’s limits. It all would be handled in some sort of form or fashion, I dreamed. I could see the roses, the bouquets and even the gazebo. I had to have one of those to stand under, in my dream.
I could see me going to the store and picking out a dress, trying it on and moving about the wedding accessories trying to choose my veil, plus amenities. There had to be this and that to accompany my bridesmaids and maid of honor. I could see it all coming together in my small girl dreams. This was going to be one of those fairy tale type weddings, with all the trimmings. Everything was supposed to fall into place. Unfortunately, the fair tale didn’t come true and our finances were lacking as well.

Dream Wedding……
Kalachi…….
This is one of the plants I brought with me when I moved into the apartment. I hope I spelled the name of the plant right, because I really wasn’t sure of the spelling. As with most of my indoor plants, this one loves the bright window, and sunlight. I placed it in my sunniest room, with direct contact to the morning sun. I noticed that it’s starting to put on small flowers, not in this photo which was taken a month ago.

Vacation Memories……
I’ve been around several people down through the year’s who were getting ready to leave on a vacation to some exotic place. Actually, they would be doing what most of us in the blue collar world would love to be able to afford. I know I would love to get away to a beautiful ports of call, and lounge around for a week or so.
When people who were friends or family were leaving on vacation, I would request they bring me something back from the places they were visiting. If not to at least send me a postcard. Usually, they would bring me a small trinket or “what not” with something pertaining to the vacation attached.
I notice that many people who go on vacations, don’t send nice postcards like they once did when on vacations. Actually, there have been times when you would literally beat the postcard back home because of the postal service. Many people are using their camera cell phones to transport memories to family and friends. This has become a more viable source than using the postal service. Since the electronic industry has expanded the postal service has lost valuable business, and forced them go up on their price’s plus cut back on hours and personnel. This hampers their efficiency in customer service and slows down mail delivery.
Bamboo…….
About 2 years ago, I bought this bamboo at a flea market and it was a very small bunch. I believe it was only 2 inches tall at the time I bought it from the vendor. I place it in a container, that was small and could support it. Before I knew it the plant took off and was out growing the container it was in. I found this old flower vase, that I had put away and the bamboo fit in it perfectly. So, it found a good place to be supported and grow straight up. I make sure that it has plenty of light and change it’s water ever so often.
