"Perfect" ~May 2010 ~ doll shard from Thuringia Germany doll factory circa 1935, plaster, metal, wood and feathers.

I miss every single one of you :)

Please, please tell me what is new in your zoo (doo de doo:) !

I thank you for the inspiration and awe you have given me through the years, and will always continue to do so. Your life and work is unsurpassed. You will be missed, yet will always live on in the hearts and souls of the contemporary artist, art itself and of course, her patrons.

Louise Bourgeois Dies at 98 ~ A short retrospective:

TGIF is here and the Crone’s Friday Follies is back!

Soooooooooooo………………….

Ya gotta rant about your boss? Your spouse? Your family or friends? Or maybe you just want to bitch about the world at large? Vent here!

Ya gotta problem? A burden shared is half a burden!

Ya gotta a couple of giggles to share? Laughter is the best medicine!

Let it out on any subject and clean the slate for a wonderful weekend ahead!

And what is even more disturbing, in many of the various article comment sections of sites that published the story is the notion that some how this child deserved it and that corporal punishment within the public school systems (or any school system for that matter)is A-OK.

Freakin’ morons.

I have something to say…………

About love and death and life.

(What a trifecta I experienced today……….in my own backyard, and perhaps was/is the most important experience of allusion and absolute poignancy I have experienced since the death of two of my siblings and that of my father……….)

Whoa and damn (add in a major “fuck!”)…………. I am still sorting it out.

(I see, and I am sure you can relate…………ellipses rock because they are forgiving to those splintered thoughts…….of which I obviously have many)

Soon.

In the meantime, a word game for you (Because DAYUM, I can’t believe ya’ll are still playing the last one. Truth be told, it humbles me that you are still here………………delights me too…..)

EDITED TO ADD: I did have a title, and it doesn’t fit an hour later…….

SO (onward to the diversion> Like a Pinter play, I promise all this rambling will make sense in the end – END? Did I say end? …….

May I offer a four word never ending story?

It is easy and hard and silly and stupid and funny and profound.

(And, of course, everything in between)

You know the drill:

Take the last word of the poster before you and make your own four word sentence to keep the story going.

Example:

Lightening reminded me, insofar

Greetings all ~

I have been, as of late, MIA. Where have I been? Taking the time to smell the daffodils and other flora that has bloomed here in the last weeks, thanks to an record breaking and awesomely early spring.

In addition to taking the time to experience the spring and all she brings, I have decided to take a break from the computer, or at least severely whittle the time that I invariably end up spending on it, on a weekly basis.

I have also decided to take a break from Crone while I get the outside cleaned up from the winter months and plant the garden. I suspect that I will be back on Crone once the garden is planted.

I will miss you all, but know that my email is always open to each and everyone of you, and I would love to hear from you until we meet again.

As soon as Really Riley officially launches his blog, I will place the link here, so keep checking back, or here is the address should you want to book mark it, and check on it that way.

Peace and good~

(PS – thank you to those that have been keeping a watch on those that would like to drum up havoc (and continue to do so) it, and you, are appreciated. XOXO)

May your day be as lovely as are each and every one of you~

Peace and good~

This week’s offering is as follows:

Word Pairs:

I will start us off with two words that are a reasonable pair. The next poster chooses one of the words and adds one of their own to make a new pair.

And so on and so on and so on.

For example:

Fly away

(The next player can choose “fly” or “away” and then add their own word)

Example:

Fly trap

(Easy yes?)

I will start:

Wine Bottle

(Next!)

I just realized that by the time that you read this, since you are in South Korea, your birthday will be over!

(Sorry about that!)

So, er, um, Happy Belated Birthday?

May this year prove to be your best yet in every aspect ~

Moon (and the rest of the Crones and Crones-to-be here on the hill)

XO

(PS: the kid sent you an email containing our birthday present to you)

This week we are playing the “change one letter game”, using a five letter word.

Easy peasy!

Example:

Drink

Then the next poster changes one letter in the forgoing word, making a new word”

Drank

And so on until we fizzle!

Trite

(next!)
