Something old and something(s) new from Hamburg

[Nancy Bell Scott]

First the old from Erni, of course--a great found paper, mounted on cardboard:That part of this paper is rust-colored is yet another sign of the thoughtfulness of Erni Bar. But this isn't all! In a small round cheese box the following contents arrived:  Clay marbles (I still want to eat them) and not only one board cutout, but many, a variety of images: Don't you love the legs? Even though bell-bottomed, they have a timeless look. Maybe it's the context. Each piece is backed by green board, they are great fun, and how they came about remains a mystery (I mean the logistics of them, not the mind of Erni).

Finally, because of the way I FINALLY discovered to open this round box and its knife- and scissor-proof Bar-like packaging, this popped out immediately: Something about that softly blunt face and yet enthusiastic hello struck me. I love it. Thank you kindly for all, Erni!

Yes, happening is usually enough and the reminder is a very good one. Good for me, anyway. It would be useful every day, in fact, to tell the truth. You are wise. I love this picture, Erni! Taken today? This endless fan of cheeses would be thrilled to have a new kind from your corner of the world.

They are, Kat., in fact those pieces feel good simply in my hands.

Now we have an idea of how they came about, at least. You may have been in a trance, Erni, making subconscious choices. I will have to analyze.

At first i thought you said "daily mediCation" below, and thought "he's been holding out on me, and what is it!" But of course--meditation probably can ward off more ills than some meds can fix.

Great cheese-box collection! Wonderful little items to play with!

Some choco-glam I see, too!

Good going, Erni! Thanks for blogging, Nancy!
