Ricola® Wallet

I made a wallet out of Ricola® wrappers!
I have been very sick over Christmas and I coughed a lot. So as a product of that I had to eat a great deal of cough drops. I don't like Halls. So, I used Ricola®.
This is not an add for Ricola® they did not pay me to write about their virtues.

Although, if they would like a spokesperson for it I would be more than happy to be listed on their payroll…

I woke up the other day and neatened my mess, clothing, stray tissues, and abundance of Ricola® wrappers. So I used them. My sister had seen a website that printed patterns on recycled mailing envelopes made of interwoven plastic fibers. I thought it was cheating, you should actually use those materials to make the wallet! But art is art, and either way, it's a wallet. It goes in and out of your pocket, it holds your money and cards, and things, and its main purpose is to be tucked away in a purse or pocket. So I made this wallet here, and later on I made one out of the comics section of the Yakima Herald. I think they are cool, and should either be used, or put on display somewhere. I just need a bunch of clear tape; then I can make more! I would like to design other kinds of wallets, but with everything else taking precedence, I may not get to it. So I shall tuck it away for another year, time, day, and move on to the next idea. Tootles!

I Forgot...

I forgot what it was I was doing
I remembered once I went to bed
I recall it was something important
then it danced right outside of my head

I forgot what it was that was needed
I went back and retraced all my path

I got just as far as the back yard
then it left just as quick as all that

I left off where I was in the movie
I pressed pause
then went out for a walk
I read quickly a chapter of sci-fi
then put the marker in where I left off

I made tea
boiled water in a kettle
put the leaves and the stuff in the pot
waited patiently as it steeped oh-so-slowly
then poured it through a small strainer
right into my cup

I inhaled the aroma of Merchees
Breakfast Blend and the smell of the toast
with the butter and marmalade slathered generously
I remembered then forgot what was supposed...

to be OBVIOUSLY right what I needed
but I cant for the life of me
call it to memory
what it was I was needed to remember
what it was I was supposed to have known.

Going on an Adventure

I'm going on an adventure today.
where it leads me,
it leads me where it may
I've a general outline
of where it will go
but keeping to that outline
will be an interesting show
There's so much to see
and so much to do
I like to go on adventures
every month or two
sometimes its more often
than what I really plan for
All that I can say is
at least life's not bor-ing!

Merry Christmas!
