For the past few weeks we've been surrounded by thick fog, but on Sunday we managed to escape the white blanket when we took a drive to the Black Forest in Germany.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What an amazing sight to see a beautiful blue sky and a magical sea of fog.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we drove away, we were right back to square one and yet again we were faced with another dosage of white wet stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since living in Europe (40 odd years now) I have always wanted to experience every weather situation of the country, and naturally I had to get outta the car and have a closer pic of yours truly posing in the fog- - on the photo it doesn't look very much, but it was thick and rather cold.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As Christmas is practically around the corner, and still no snow in sight, I guess this could be a foggy foggy Christmas.</div>

Nooo, I ain't mad at anyone - this was sent to me per E-Mail by my dearest Scottisch friend.<br />
BLESS YOU DEAREST FRIEND FOR BRINGING BIG SMILES TO MY FACE..............!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
My Problem is - I've been hound dog tired, I cleaned dirt and dust OVER and OVER again - due to our new kitchen that was installed last week.<br />
I caught myself a Royal flu, and when it "disappeared" I carried on cleaning and slaving, oooh the work was never-ending. Because I never gave my poor Body the Chance to recuperate, the next bout of sickies was Standing right ouside my front door offering me the next round of viruses. So down I went for another couple of days flat in bed. As a determened Person I have always believed, work it off and sweat it out,,, and usually it worked,,,,,,,, strangely enough,, this round,, the gang of virusses dragged me down into the deepest darkest dungeons of illness.<br />
<br />
Hard for me to accept - - - old Age is definately the cause - - - although I must honestly say.... I don't <br />
feel a day over 20. Fact is, the Body is telling me to calm down, relax, and take it easy.<br />
<br />
Nuff nuff moaning and complaining, I am Feeling on top of the globe and as ever again I am dancing on the brand new kitchen floor to <br />
the Music whilst I prepare the dinner.<br />
<br />
<br />

Only recently it was brought to my attention when my good blogger buddy could not pass a comment on my blog. Whilst chewing on the problem it dawned on me that my new Windows 8 was installed in the German language - instead of English.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If anyone else has this problem, here's what to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the bottom of my blog entry you will find an open space which says KOMMENTARE//COMMENTS, click onto that and you'll be A and Away</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope to "see" old and new friends real soon.</div>

To top it all we're installing a new kitchen.<br />
A brand new ceiling was replaced by an old brown thing (will post pictures soon)<br />
The walls needed a fresh new colour - I decided, instead of a sterile white wall, I needed a soft touch of lemon.<br />
New bright lamps were installed - and today - Saturday - we decided to rip away the old chocolate brown kitchen units - because the new kitchen will be on our doorstep by Wednesday next week.<br />
I have done nothing but CLEAN CLEAN up to this hour.<br />
I have had my fill of dirt and old dust.<br />
Before suppertime I took a breather and a well needed break to seat myself in front of my laptop - - and my day was made when I received this funny e-mail from a longstanding friend.<br />
I laughed and it made me forget about my battle against the dirt and dust (even though only for a few moments.....)<br />
I am posting this and I do hope you will see the funny side of the Story that made my dusty day.<br />

<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">Prince Charles was driving around his mother's estate when he accidentally ran over her favorite dog, a Corgi, crushing it to a pulp.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">He got out of his Range Rover and sat down on the grass totally distraught.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">The whole world was against him and now his mother would go ballistic.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">Suddenly he noticed a lamp half-buried in the ground.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">He dug it up, polished it and immediately a Genie appeared.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">"You have freed me from thousands of years of imprisonment, " said the Genie</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">"As a reward I shall grant you one wish."</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">"Well," said the Prince, "I have all the material things I need, but let me show you this dog."</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">They walk over to the splattered remains of the dog.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">"Do you think you could bring this dog back to life for me?" the Prince asked.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">The Genie carefully looked at the remains and shook his head.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">"This body is too far gone for even me to bring it back to life.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">Is there something else you would like?"</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">The Prince thought for a minute, reached into his pocket and pulled out two photos.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">"I was married to this beautiful woman called Diana," said Prince Charles, showing the genie the first photo.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">"But now I love this woman called Camilla," and he showed the genie the second photo.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">"You see Camilla isn't beautiful at all, so do you think you can make Camilla as beautiful as Diana?"</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">The Genie studied the two photographs and after a few minutes said,</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">"Let's have another look at the dog."</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;"></span></b> </div>

Well guys, I have tried to post the Pictures of the needlebook on my eyesofthedragonfly blog.<br />
Just goes to Show how "out of touch" I am with Blogging. Feeling all self assured about my Password and such, and then I end up looking like the High School nerd.... not to worry, my surprise to find it on the wrong blog and my baffled face has subsided,, I can only laugh at my stupidity.<br />
I will continue TRYING, because I am a stubborn grow bean from down South. Heeee heee!!!<br />

Well hallo again, although it's been a Long time since I've posted on my crafting blog, it doesn't mean I have neclected my love for sewing - - unfortunately I don't always take Pictures of my completed goodies and unfortunately I don't make enough time to take needle and thread in Hand. I Quote the words of the sweet drunken butler.... ."I'll try me very best!!"<br />
This is a needlebook I made for a neighbour friend on her birthday last year. I am happy to say, she was delighted.Gincohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08225198338968692441noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066326571500559310.post-45073478962092032742014-10-27T13:34:00.001-07:002014-10-27T13:36:39.016-07:00MY FAVORITE MUSHROOM - FUNGHI<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Little rascall's only 5 months old, but I'm happy to say he will let the household sleep</div>

<div>
When I was a child I mostly read story books about the different kind of animals, but what fascinated me mostly was the beautiful blood red toadstool.</div>
<div>
As I grew older I used to think it was all but a fairy tale - - just imagine a South African child who sees such pictures in a story book and not ever seeing the edge of a dark and gloomy forest...!</div>
<div>
It was only until a few years ago when we went mushroom hunting, did I come across many red beauties topped with white dots.</div>
<div>
My amazement was overwhelming and my eyes almost popped outta it's sockets - down on my knees I went with my camera and couldn't part myself from the beautiful yet extremely dangerous toadstool all dressed in scarlet red.</div>

So off we go into the deep and dark forest - in search of eatable mushrooms.<br />
Crazy people you may think.. but we only spent about one and a half hour in search of the good stuff.<br />
<br />
Last Autumn we found barrels full, but this round we only found a few - nothing to write home about, but it was worth the while.<br />
I find spending time in a forest so calming - no noisy car sounds or any other, only the different sounds of a few wild birds.<br />
On Saturday we had a little rainfall, so naturally everything's real wet in the dark forest.<br />
It was no surprise to stumble apon a fairly large frog sitting directly on my way, I still wanted to have a closer look but the guy thought<br />
it would be safer to disappear into the next hole nearby.<br />
No matter how many or how few mushrooms we find, it will always be checked by an expert who lives just around the corner.<br />

<div>
I have been very fortunate to arrive in Switzerland as a Young woman - I have left my Country of birth, South Africa and have been living here behind the snowy Alps for a few decades now.</div>
<div>
Now why does that sentence make me feel so ancient? Only kidding....!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
For the past few years I have had the opportunity to visit most places in Switzerland, which I honestly never believed to see.</div>
<div>
But my favorite place is Wallis - or as the French speaking folk would write... Valais.</div>
<div>
Most People speak Swiss German, but I must add, with a disasterous accent to a strangers ear. The other side of Wallis speaks French.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Beside the fact that this Region gets extremely cold during winter time.... I simply love the place to bits.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Getting to "my" place, is a town called Lötschental - a must to see every round.</div>
<div>
One has to drive all along the Alps on a very narrow and winding road.</div>
<div>
For some, a Little nerve wracking, but I guess I got used to it all.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I would like to post a Picture or more of my favorite houses in this small but amazing town.</div>
<div>

<strong>Unfortunately I've neclected my blog for some time now.</strong><br />
<strong>Trying to pick up the pieces was a Long and winding road - due to the fact that I forgot my Password.</strong><br />
<strong>I'm know to have the Memory of an elephant, but I guess even an ol' elephant is capable of forgetting . . . .</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>If I have done my homework correctly on the Blogging page, I will look Forward to posting the things I enjoy doing and/or the not so nice things that happens in the life of an old forgetful elephant.</strong><br />
<strong>Last but not least, I will enjoy "seeing" most of my ol' friends here again - I will definately enjoy and appreciate the visits of new friends in future. </strong><br />

<br />
Great was my surprise when I discovered the cocoon of two dragonflies dangling from a waterplant in the Pond.<br />

It was a wonderful experience and it still amazes me that I never went tumbling head strong into the Pond simply outta pure surprise and amazement. for the behaviour of a Little creature that is my favorite of all creatures.</div>
