Jamie's Spiritual Gathering And Some Henna Art

Jamie had a fun gathering where we all wished her well, to have an easy delivery at home, and for her baby to have good health happiness and love. We brought beads and charms representative, and had a wonderful time together.

Jamie had invited a Henna artist and we all enjoyed being her canvas;
If you look closely you can see Ziggy moving;



I had never had a Henna tattoo, here's my first one. It's a Phoenix;
Here is Danica's;

and another one;
Jonella had a Butterfly drawn on her shoulder;

Angie chose her ankle;

This was one awesome hell of a cat;


Here the cat is drinking tea using a paw;

I want to have a Henna party now!

Happy Solstice!

Mark and Marty were some of the many that took advantage of the open mic, with Bob on drums. When taking this video, I stopped it too soon as Marty took off on a fabulous spontaneous jam session with his bass, sorry that I missed capturing that. It was alot of fun seeing old friends that I hadn't seen in a long time. Good food drinks and friends and the weather was a delight. There was a yule log burning out back and Cheryl's cajun cooking and Ben's liquor concoctions with Martini's were great. My daughter wasn't able to come, so missed her musical talents, both my kids were missed everyone asked me about both of them. MKO and Cheryl really put on a great party, it gets better every year if that's possible. Catching up with what everyone was doing was so much fun, I really do miss them dearly. Getting up at 4:30 AM and having a very hectic day at work I tired early and elected to go home.

I almost didn't go knowing that the asshole would be there, but went because I knew folks would be there that I wanted to see, enough to put up with the asshole. While it was wonderful seeing friends, the asshole was flaming, walking past me saying 'Hi Jan', then chuckling along with the girl that was with him when I ignored him thinking it funny I guess. I just walk away not wanting to make a scene. I will never know nor do I care why he wants to have this contact, I delete the emails, and see his name on caller ID, why he thinks I want any contact with him is incredible, what a flaming asshole. Having to pay him half the worth of my big pension retirement after being at the hospital for over 30 years, and I'm not even retired yet, and his lying at mediation angers me to no end. I obviously won't go on about all the crap here.
