The terrace of the wooden house with cement pillars is filled with mosaics.

          • In other areas of life, the gray areas are made so as to allow the Adjustment Bureau to make necessary modifications to the plan hahaha did you watch that movie? It is a sci-fi thriller starring Matt Damon — I love it, well, because I like exploring such type of possibility being presented in that movie

          • According to Buddha, one must travel to a new place every now and then. So really I do not mind going from one post to another — let us see if we can keep an intelligent conversation doing that hahaha

          • Crystal ball maybe? ???? It was a painting by Alex — for some reason, it inspired me to pen a poem. I was not going to. But you know the idea had been nagging in my head for days that I had to write it. I am queer that way — just like when you reply and a song crossed my mind ???

          • Well, when I asked him and he said yes, he forgot to mention that the painting was 6-7 years old hahaha. If I knew that, I would not have asked because it would entail looking. Alex has a good heart though to indulge a pixie’s whim hahaha even when I am trying his patience. We were joking over an art of his and then I mentioned about a wingless bird which I didn’t know he has — he showed me his work; the image stirred something in my mind and the thought about “flightless” and how sad the wingless bird could be keep whirring in my brain that I finally penned it down. So I thought I should ask Alex if I could use his painting because that is where I got my inspiration (I am a sentimental cow, what can I say, lol). Poor guy said yes hahaha and he had to look for it at his parents’ house. I should not give people headaches I know but — hahaha

          • Ahhh a family of artists — nice thing. Oh well, I only asked because that is where I get the inspiration. I follow a simple rule: ” Ask and you shall get an answer.” ??? Oh ok, just tell Alex not to get annoyed when I put him in hot water. I do that to many people ???

          • Where is the hot water in that? Tell me. I talk the same way to many people ???. I thought, let me come out clean, that he is a kid (anyone below 30 is a kid, male or female, no offense). Awww, heck, now I might not have the painting ???. I did thought because of the art. My mistake.

          • My first reference to hot water pointed to the fact that I suggested for him to draw a younger version of LaJenna in LaJenna’s drawing challenge. And yes, thinking (I dunno if you understand but I get that sense with people) that he is of the “youngish” group (same way I feel about Ellie who I teased also like I would a sister), I do, in his term, wind him up — which, to me, means I give someone headache. What can I do? I have yet talk to him the way I talk to you (and other friends) — if I start doing that then I dunno what term he would call that. Hahaha! But I did tease him in comments because, yes, I thought, like Ellie, he may be below 30 and peeps below 30 I enjoy chatting and teasing like kid brother or sister. Pardon. Just my pixie nature. My avatar has that disclaimer – “curious, irreverent, mischievous”. So, anyone who dares to chat, risk your own head. Lol!
