~ sweet chamber




.
Just to say hello.

Seems blogging is like opening a long window onto a balcony and speaking a bit to the air. After I go back inside, a recorded message of what is said, waits--just for you.
.
Without your great comments, this blog would be dust mites. Thanks. :)

Just reveled in a hunk of Rosemary Kalamata Olive bread with tiny slices of sharp Vermont Cheddar. It made me remember reading Heidi as a child. The children woke and tore bread and hunks of cheese and drank goats milk out of bowls and later sat to watch the sun splash over the hills. Such simple things, and to this day, I can't tear a wealthy hunk of bread and not think cheese. It is so easy to please in this regard. :)

Can't paint over that portrait Van Goth ... paintings hidden underneath paintings can be found via chemical analysis of paint (minerals) and reproduced. Paint by elements. Fascinating.

Thanks for this. For making me smile. For the cool links (pict-link a bit horrifying;). For the van Gogh. (I'm amazed as to where you find all this).

I like especially the no. 2 of your illos. Very cool.

And thank you for your concern. I am fine. It has happened to me, that my world has set so beautifully in perspective. I have a very clear sense of what is important, and what is not. It's a beautiful feeling I hope to hang on to (and wish I could give to everyone, loss-free).

See you soon. C

Thanks for reminding me about Heidi. That particular passage about eating big hunks of cheese and bread and drinking goat's milk from bowls really made an impact on me as a kid. It seemed so comforting to me. And thanks for all the other great stuff. Quite an eclectic mix!

foreign words are lovely and vocabulary grows and grows via blogging. i was having a huge smile on my face while looking up the word 'hunk' in a dictionary since i had no idea it meant anything else but a way to describe a man. now i'm going to start using it whenever i have the chance to describe a piece of bread, a slice of cheese (a hunk of cheese maybe is a bit vulgar...?). anyway, thanks! :)

I feel the very same way about blogging, too. Comments and conversational snippets make it all so rich. The dust mites can have something else instead.

be well, g

Ooooh, I love sharp cheddar....

Esti said...

Yeah, blogging feels pretty much like you've described... and comments... I feel those as pieces of a chain we are building and gets longer and longer... and longer.
