Stealth

These beautiful pics are of one of my girlfriend's gorgeous twin granddaughters. Arent they just lovely looking girls!




They look so happy & healthy! As you can see they are identical, & must be a joy to have.
This pic is an old one of twin dolls I made. I accidentally uploaded it, & dont know how to delete it! how pitiful is that.


Yesterday we had SG for the morning, while his mother & sister dashed off to do some shopping. He made 'cubbies' with the quilts, & tried to convince Leo that he would be happy to share in the cubby. Leo sat on it, & collapsed it, so he wasnt the most popular little dog in town!
Once more, I missed getting photos of SG. I cant believe I didnt get any, but time just seems to rush past while he is here.
My brother made a comment about time seemingly vanishing, & I am sure it is stolen somehow by 'time bandits'. When I stop to think about it, it frightens me to realise how much time has passed since I was young... and there are 'holes' in each day, where I find myself thinking 'How did an hour just vanish?'
If I am sewing, whole days seem to be swallowed up, & I have no memory of them.
I have always done some sort of craft, it seems. When my children were small, I knitted their warm jumpers & cardigans, & also crocheted items. I made most of their clothes, until they grew older, & 'homemade' was not so fashionable. The time spent knitting sewing or crocheting, seemed to fly past. And still does, if I am busy.
I cant really understand it when people seem to find time sits heavy on their hands.
But I think some days GOM finds it that way. He has no hobbies, apart from reading, & often sits staring into space.
When he was young he loved to play sport, but is not interested in bowls or golf, so he doesnt have any sport either.
He is not really the handy man type either.
He tried to fit a new water saving shower head yesterday... to SG's delight & full interest.
Alas, it seems to be leaking this morning, so he will have to re-do it. I can see frustration ahead...
But I am sure a whole chunk of time will be stolen, while he works on fixing it!
On a completely different 'note'. I have Bob Dylan's new CD, 'Modern Times', & there is a track on it titled "Beyond The Horizon".
To my ears it sounds suspiciously like an old song called "Red Sails in the Sunset". Just wonder does anyone remember the old song, & have they heard the Bob Dylan song??
