The Truth (about Mr. BEE) Revealed

ImageImageImage

Let me begin to tell you how the tale of Mr. Bee is now~
In fact, if truth be told you see, he isn’t really Mr. Bee.
His family tree is not the same, and WASP is his true family’s name.

Now there it is, a wrong corrected ~ my ignorance has been deflected.
I want to welcome just the same the little one, whate’er his name,
So I invited him to share our repast in the garden air.
The trouble is that when he came, he brought his friends and sister, Mame.
They were a quite rambunctious crew ~ too late I thought, but what to do?

The garden party was fair fun, and went as well as could be expected, Hon,
But one last thing you ought to know: Wasps can be friendly one by one,
but not in groups of four or more~ in that case I would close the door.                               
                               

Tea Talks #35~ The Secret Life of BOOKS

If you’ve ever had your life changed by a book you’ll be able to relate.

Fasting: the ultimate diet~ This books tells of the virtues of fasting. It helped me through a tough time in my life, when eating less and reflecting more was what I needed to do to get my life back on track. I began a 7-day fast that would change my life and set me off in a whole new direction….
I read it in 1978, but it’s just as applicable now as it was then.

“JUST LOOKING, THANKS!”

Since it doesn’t cost anything to look, I decided to take my camera instead of my wallet with me shopping yesterday. Here are a few of my finds. This first one is a “little black dress” at C&A. It’s a layered look, which I thought was interesting…and also rather flattering (79Euros). I’m modeling it here with a black sweater (on sale for 9 euros!) and I think it looks very nice. Note: I bought the sweater! 🙂

Hemlines, Legs, and Knees~ oh my!

Yesterday I bought a red skirt on sale. Red is one of my favorite colors. It’s a new length for me, however, and I don’t think I can get any shorter than this. Showing my knees has been a definite no-no for so many years. I wonder how I’m going to feel when I actually step out of the house with it on. When I checked it out with my conservative husband, he said, “What’s wrong with it?” The length makes me feel younger, less dowdy, more modern, and when I see women my age here in Belgium wearing this length, I always like it. So, here goes! Opinions, anyone?
