This is my sister Nicole. She said this was her happiest day with me. On her FB she posted my art and also reminded me that I literally used to take her to chase rainbows. I have mentioned before that many of my memories are gone and when I am reminded of them I remember them again! I’m so thankful that they are coming back one by one. I told her last night that if I completely forget like my Pa, she could be my memory like I was my Pa’s.
Nicole asked me last week if I would design some tags for her furniture, she designs and sells handmade furniture. I share with her some of my art, from another project I’m working on. She sent me several photos and we came up with this wonderful tag business cards for “My Favorite Things,” from her favorite movie is “The Sound of Music.”
Recently she redesigned my nephew, her son, Ezra’s room to be movie themed. He loves the Beatles, and old movies. Art is healing us. I know it! I love that art, has connected our hearts. We Facetimed for 2 hours last night! It all started from my sharing my art and she shared her’s and before I knew it we both were tears, healing tears, talking about my Pa’s passing. Our family has not been okay since he passed.
I’m so thankful for art and heart inspirations from my friends here you know who you are. Thank you so much for reaching out to me, your friendship means so much! I love you! Is it any wonder that the song “Somewhere over the Rainbow” is playing…oh I can be found somewhere over the rainbows chasing rainbows I’m so thankful for that memory. I didn’t want to forget again, so I blogged about it.
This is the redesign Ezra’s room! My sister designs beautiful rooms.

What a wonderful love story MM. Ezra’s room is lovely, just right for a boy his age. And becoming friends with your sister again is such an awesome thing. It gives me hope that the same will happen for me. I love my sisters, just wish the feeling was mutual. But someday…..

You are most welcome. Yes, original plan was home for me, Sis, her 3 kids and space for visitors. Then Sons went of to school, so their wives and 4 kids thought it would be perfect for them to come home, save money, be with family and perfect setup for kids to enjoy their cousins and have plenty of safety and security at same time. Then they decided to invest in future and bought house across from us, another 6 bedrooms, but still has tenants until their new house is built. And now another house just went on market, so we’ll look at it for another of my Clan. Now we own 2 of 6 on our private road, slowly we’ll rename it Parker Clan Acres ( like old TV show, Green Acres)

Good thing I have other voices in head to keep that from getting stuck inside very long. )))) My second wife was Hungarian and she used to make fun of Eva’s accents.)) Like I would impersonate Schultz from Hogan’s Heroes)))) Kids would die laughing unless we were in public, then it was “VATERRRRRRRR, das ist genug” (Father/Dad, that is ENOUGH) some days were funnier than others))))))

Life isn’t fair and everyone isn’t a superstar or supermodel. I still eat chocolate when I so wish and don’t feel guilty about small pleasures. Be like a doctor, do no harm and don’t take personally what people who know nothing about you or your life choose to criticize. If they aren’t a positive in your life, why are we listening or caring about what they say. A crowded bed at 4 am equals no sleep, but an overflowing cup of unconditional love, 2 Nieces, 4 Grands, and snoring genes)))))))))))

You are so welcome, my dear. Whoever said we will be taught by children was a prophet or genius or both, probably. Until my Nieces came along, I’d just thought I knew a little about unconditional love. They’ve helped me write brand new chapters on Life filled with Love.

She is on Twitter and wakes up my kik account if she doesn’t see me active. Jealousy, such a waste of time between Friends and Family, my Clan has outlawed it completely. People have to be free to choose how to spend their time, independently and fully. My Kids know I don’t share everything or everyone with them, first, we’d never have enough time, they still work and have careers, I have my own schedules depending on my “work” and my “me” time. Shortly after my second wife passed, my daughters in law, Ginger Twins, got hold of my unlocked phone and Punk’d me. It was funny for some of my Friends, but not all. They also got attached to a few of my Friends, Life interrupted those friendships, so now they leave me to my own devices. I love lots of people and would do a lot for many, but I know Life isn’t always fair nor does it fit our plans as we expect, so I take it one day at a time. After all, this world is only temporary, why take it so blessed serious. I’ve made plans for different contingencies, but not worried if I missed something in my plans. I was a Boy Scout, not a Prophet or Sorcerer or God))))))))))))))
I always make sure the CAM(not Cambodia as I first thought) girls know how old I am, that I’m mute and not about to go viral with sign language or share my CC data, heck I only have one that I use for emergencies. CAMs aren’t emergencies.))))))))))))))))
