Kae Cherie A Chinese poet many centuries ago noticed that to re-create something in words is like being alive twice. (Frances Mayes, Under the Tuscan Sun) 20 Aug
Kae Cherie three year old was making up her own story at bedtime, "Once upon a time... there was a princess... her name is Go-ri-lla..." Tried not to laugh. "Do you mean Goldilocks?" "No, GORILLA." "Ok, go on then..." "[And she is beautiful], and she likes pink clothes." Sounds good to me! 18 Aug
Kae Cherie is in an old farmhouse and the floor is uneven and walls are not absolutely straight, so pens roll off shelves and cars take on their own lives, and she feels like she's on board a listing ship, and she ADOOORRREEESSS it :)! 16 aug
Kae Cherie has internet access again but the sky is so blue the grass is warm the mirabelles and prunes falling off the trees boxes to unpack children to run after to play football with and track butterflies and pick blackberries and roses... summer and the blessing of a new home with a garden, PTL :)! 13 Aug
Kae Cherie has no more fix phone line and erratic internet service, and to top it hubby left with her handphone today by mistake but i've got his, so call our handphones if you need us :)!
