Friday16th May

This afternoon I went along to the Community Market and Bazaar the Senior Centre were organising in the Municipal Building, next door to the Centre.

I was thinking 'Bazaar' would be all rather tasteful, and nice.  It wasn't though.  I've seen better laid out, and more tasteful, jumble sales.  Louise was calling it something less flattering than 'bazaar', and they came down on her, insisting it was a bazaar.   Anyway, I am glad I got to see it, and I photographed my afghan they were raffling.

See what I mean about jumble sale?   Kate has had the afghan hanging in the Senior Centre for a while, so it has already raised money before today.

They have absolutely no idea here on how to run a raffle, I have tried educating them, but they haven't got it.  

Afterwards I went round Walmart for my goats milk, it was about 5.30 when I got home, so I didn't feel like going out again to the arty event downtown.

In the news..............

This guy was sentenced in Peru in January 2010, to 28 years in a maximum security prison, for murder, and is about to marry his 5 months pregnant girl friend.   Pregnant girl friend!!!!  Maximum security prison!!!!!!!!!   What happened!!!!!!!!!

You have probably heard of Barbara Walters, she is retiring today from her outstanding career as a television journalist.    What gets me is that she is 85!!!!!!!!!    She looks younger than a woman half her age.  I am studying her picture, wondering how she does it.   Thinking - "maybe I'll have my hair coloured next week".
 
 

All these illegal aliens (although they musn't be called illegal aliens anymore, it is not politically correct)  were all released, just let out of prison into society, the countries where they came from won't take them back.   Someone asked what can you do with them, you can't just drop them into the ocean.   I am looking at their crimes and thinking "why not".   I don't really understand why they couldn't stay in prison, I think it is something to do with their constitutional rights, they can't be held indefinitely.  Which still leaves me asking "why not".


The calla lilies in my garden are shooting up, they grow very fast.  On the left of them you will see a little mulberry tree has taken root and is growing.  My next door neighbour, who sold the house but still thinks the garden is hers, informed me she was coming round to dig it up.  I told her to leave it alone.  I like trees.
