Interesting times

Bless me father,
It has been almost a year since my last blog. What in the world has happened in the last year.
There's and old Chinese back handed compliment that says: "May you live in interesting times".
We went to Mexico on Vacation and the stock market colapsed!
Then the houseing market tanked and now everyone seems to be fearful of loosing their jobs.
I am here to tell you all that everything will be ok. This has happened before and it got better.
Just belive that everything is going to be alright.
I remember loosing my job and worrying about the future. I cannot even remember which job it was or why I lost my job.

Finding Sean.

Its funny the memories you have of people. I remember going to visit my two Aunts who lived together, Mary and Reena. They both smoked like chimney's. Like the two sisters in the Simpson's show.
They had this built in cupboard that had a shelf up high with lots of cartons of cigarettes. I remember the long life milk that they had which taisted awful in tea but nobody ever complained. My Brother Colin and I would be on the floor playing cards or writing in kids game books. This one time my Brother used a pen to draw lines beween the moles on my back which there are quite a few. I remember that?

Why the Gnome?

I have always been fond of Gnomes from my early years growing up in England. I am a Realtor in Portland Oregon and you will always find my Gnome in the photographs of my listings. There used to be a Political cartoon in "The Sun" daily newspaper in London. The cartoonist would hide a little man and a bird in the cartoon every day. My Aunt Mary was the first to show me this and we always searched the papers when we visited Her. She Died of Cancer when I was young. I cannot remember when but I remember it was on my Sister Catherine's Birthday, August 28th. Every time I hide my Gnome in the house photo I am the only one who sees it. It reminds me of my Aunt Mary.
