FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION~RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FABLES****************'MAPS AND LEGENDS'**************** For the Rev. Howard Finster, "a man of vision and feeling - a fine example to all"**************************
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached. Called the fool and the company. On his own where he'd rather be. Where he ought to be, he sees what you can't see, can't you see that? Maybe he's caught in the legend, maybe he's caught in the mood. Maybe these maps and legends have been misunderstood.
Down the way the road's divided. Paint me the places you have seen. Those who know what I don't know refer to the yellow, red, and green. Maybe he's caught in the legend,
maybe he's caught in the mood. Maybe these maps and legends
have been misunderstood. He's not to be reached, he's to be reached. The map that you painted didn't seem real. He just sings whatever he's seen! Point to the legend, point to the east. Point to the yellow, red, and green. Maybe he's caught in the legend, maybe he's caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends have been misunderstood. Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached. Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached anymore.

Hey Bunnia, I am seeing on the news that The storm that came through here is now in NC. It is so crazy to have a storm like this in November. We had lots of rain and wind and the waves were really big...I love to see and feel a storm rollin in. As long as it is not a really big one. I hope you are not getting too much bad weather from the Ida storm. I sent you a message about the nice card that you sent me. It was great to get something in the mail besides a bill. I talked with Elaina soon after that. It is always fun to get to talk with her. One day we keep saying that we are gonna meet up sonewhere and go hear some music. I watched the movie Twilight yesterday. Wow ! I liked it. Now I will be waitin on the next one to come out. I still have not seen "This is It " I really want to see it in the theater..Have a great week and weekend Bunnia ~
Hey Bunnia! Thanks SO much for the card! Getting it was really the highlight of my week! :o) I have to say that you are one of the most sincere friends that I've met on the internet! As always thanks for being kind,..and most of all just being yourself. Work as usual is stressing me out,..lol!..among alot of things. Tonight I'm going to have dinner with some of my friends. Rarely do i get out during the week to do anything,..but i really need the break. A cousin in Nashville has been wanting me to come to visit her so i am seriously considering going this weekend. I need the change of pace so bad! Its only a 4hr drive to get there anyway. Thanks also for the very nice comment! The flashing candy had me hypnotized, LOL! I did myself in with the Halloween candy. I already have a problem with sugar/starchy foods in the first place,..especially starches. I am so glad that Halloween is over, LOL! Well,..here comes Thanksgiving & the Christmas holidays. Another excuse for me to eat the things i need to stay away from, LOL!
i neva knew yu cut yu locks??? I jus remember we talkin bout it!... miss the I...and um I aint gots no patience! hahahaaaa...............I wanna see yu!!
Hi there, not sure if you are still checking your myspace. As you know Diane died two weeks ago, then I got the flu, bronchitus and also a sinus infection. I was in bed for days then also this week had a three day GPM course at 12 to 13 hour a day which I took sick and passed with a 100%. Shelley is in her first event tomorrow although I am trying not to stress her out by inviting people as it is stressful enough being six years old and competing against adults in the same division. Anyway, I am still caughing although feel Soooooooooo much better. Meg and Brian left for Vegas yesterday and got there today due to many lay overs - yikes..She said flying over the Grand Canyon was awesome. Miss you much next weekend will be more back to normal as Meg will be back and I should be fully recovered.

Hey Bunnia, Happy Hallo ~ Dia de los Muertos and Samhain to you ~
What are you doing for the weekend ? I really do not have any big plans. There is a few fun things to do around here, but most likely I will be at home. I do have a pumpkin that I need to carve, but sometimes I like to save them and keep them all fall. Sometimes they last until spring. My mom gave me 2 really pretty pumpkins this year. Well, I hope you do something fun this weekend. It would be a great night to dance around a fire, drink some wine and celebrate the season !
Thinking about you Bunnia,..Take care my friend,..

Hey Bunnia & Ha[ppy Halloween! I LOVE those vintage labels you found!,.. Thanks so much! Actualy there is so much vintage art in the form of greeting cards, labels, advertisments, etc., here on the net. A long time ago in graphics,..(well they used to call it commercial art back then) it seemed that artists took the time to put alot of detail into their work. Me being in graphics i know that things have to be done so fast nowadays. To be honest that really can be a headache sometimes, lol! I am NOT a rush rush person at all! Satuday I'm having a get together here for Halloween. That means i have alot of cleaning to do, lol! I haven't touched a darned thing in this house. But at least my living room, kitchen and bathroom is clean. The rest of the house I'm cutting off from everybody, lol! Anyway I'm going to make veggie soup & pumpkin cookies. I hadn't cooked anything major in a while,..so this is going to be a challenge for me! I believe i owe you an email, lol! You'll hear from me in a few mins,... Love, Elaina
Wasn't sure if you got my message about the Andrew Bird concert and St. Vincent. It was so brilliant that he talked to you and thanked you for Dancing. The pictures I took of him and the videos I will get to you this weekend, sorry I haven't got them to you yet although I have been super busy. The concert was so much fun and the music was like liquid in my veins..totally awesome
Hey Bunnia, I just read on www.npr.org that you can listen to a new R.E.M. Live at the Olympia. It is 39 live tracks ...this looks very very good. check it out. I am going to listen now. They say a cd will be released of these songs later on...
I love your profile Mermaid ! Thanks for the lovely African art animals ! I am so happy that you got to see Andrew Bird ! I keep hoping that one day I will able to go to one of his shows... What have you been uo to this week ? I have been reading my book and listening to music and I even did some Kundalini Yoga. I had some new friends stay here last weekend during the Shrimp Fest. They make jewelry out of Sea glass that they find all over the world. They are called The Hidden Women of the Sea ~ Their pieces are magical ! I will send you a picture of their stuff...
Have a great weekend Bunnia I hope you like the video from yesterday...I am really getting into their music and videos..
Great to hear from you Bunnia! Hope you are well. Yeah, I'm enjoying the changing season as well. We're expecting our first big storm tonight! Looking forward to it!
Congratulations President Obama on winning the Nobel Peace Prize....May God keep you steadfast and ever so courageous to continue on the path to engaging others to strive for peaceful solutions in the world for all mankind. As for the critics that say you didn't do anything to earn the prize, well, here's what I have to say: Even you admitted to not deserving the prize, yet, the world sees something great and inspiring in you - the Man; and so I applaud your honesty and reasons for accepting it. On the other hand, and in my opinion it's far better for the world to shower you with a positive gesture such as the Nobel Peace Prize, rather than throwing SHOES at your face.
Hey Bunnia! How's your weekend going? It's a rainy morning here,..one of those days that I'd rather stay in. I deserve it after yesterday, lol! I helped my cousin clean up her closet. I thought at first,..ok i can handle a little closet! Well it turned out cleaning her closet was like cleaning a whole house, lol! My consin happens to be one of those people who like to collect shoes & purses. I've never seen so many shoes in my life! Anyway she really needed the extra help because she has two small children to look after. Are you enjoying the first weeks of Fall? I'm prefering the weather now better than late Fall when it starts to get cold. Last week i had a perfect Fall evening when i went to a museum here called the Pink Palace. It was a special night where they had telescopes set out on their lawns. I got a chance to see jupiter, (which was huge right by the moon). My best friend and i wished that we had packed a dinner and a blanket to sit on. It was just the perfect night,..and no mosquitoes either, lol! Have a great Sunday! And btw i do love your page design very much,...Love the fire flies! ! Your page is the reason why i chose a night theme too! I'm a night person more than anything so i decided to part with my mossy green trees for now. Have a great Sunday! ;o) Love, Elaina
Hey Bunnia, Happy Sat. and Happy Fall It is so wonderful here...I have butterflies and dragonflies and hummingbirds in my yard...they are all over my bottlebrush plants..I could sit out there for days...and I do.... I have just started reading a new book and it is so great that I need to tell everyone about it.. It is called Eat Pray Love and it is about an amazing women and her journey to find happiness....What a journey she takes.. I want to go on a journey ~
Hey Bunnia, Thanks for those pictures. The cat and the mOOn pic is one of the coolest pic's ever !!! I need to put it somewhere on my page. I am glad you are enjoying your cat. It does look like my grey cat. He is a rascal cat. I have 5 that are outside cats that I have sorta rescued from the swamp. There are 4 females and one male. They have all been fixed and had their shots except for the grey one. We can't catch him. I see him everyday...he eats here and is always somewhere nearby. He is very mysterious and his yellow eyes are spooky. His name is Dumbledorf (like in Harry Potter). He is so cool. All the females are great too, Then I have my inside cats and dogs..wow it sounds like a zoo here. I just love animals. I am looking forward to fall also. Our fall here is not as cool as your fall. I have been to your lovely mountains and I would give anything to go back !
Thanks for the beautiful pic. It is lovely. Your trip back to the country sounds like a moment way back in time. It is almost like some great story from a good book. The way you describe going down the dirt roads and the deep cut of the country, makes me want to be there. I can almost picture exactly where you were. You should be a writer Bunnia ! I hope this has been a better week for you. The weekend is almost here. I have heard that the weather here will be a little cooler. I am hoping to have a fire outside for the full moon on Friday. Enjoy the Moon Bunnia !
Hey Bunnia! Good to hear from you! Thanks for that beautiful photograph! At first i thought it was a garden with gourds growing,..then i realized there were cds hanging! I always thought it was interesting how some people decorate their yard with everyday objects. I want to do something like that, but i am barely cutting my yard in the first place, LOL! I do love alot of windchimes,..love the look & sound. For some reason i thought you were going to the Andrew Bird concert this Summer! MAN,..would i love for him to come here! And guess what?? I found out that he was here,..back in 2005 at a club here called the Hi-Tone!! And Wala!! I found the performance on Youtube!
How beautiful,..I wish that i knew about him then!!... I'm so looking forward to Fall. The temps are already Autumn-like already,..its been real nice. I'm looking forward to the Fair and the upcoming festivals. Have a nice Monday! Love~Elaina
