Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

Peanut Butter...well almost...



On the heels of Razmataz's latest photo challenge
FOOD
I'd like to relate a story told to me many years ago about peanut butter.

A friend of a friend who lives in Singer Island, Florida
was attending her son's high-school graduation ceremony.

That particular year, they had several exchange students attend for their final year of high-school
from Japan.
One young, beautiful Japanese girl was chosen to be spokes-person for her group.
She rose to speak at the ceremonies and was asked to explain the one
thing, above all others, that she loved about the United States.
With  grand smile and total confidence, she declared

"Penis Busser...I LOVE Penis Busser."

To this day, I cannot recall that story without rolling on the floor.

  8. ....hahahahaha....Jaqueline I just came in to give you the 'down low' on my mate 'poly' & started cacking myself ALL OVER AGAIN at the 'penis busser'....That will keep me cracking up throughout the week I reckon....!

    Anyways....

    Poly is 'polyurethane' a protective coating I apply to most my rusty stuff....Applying poly inhibits further rusting & allows you to use the piece around fabric as there's no rust powder/residue....Poly also has a tendency to darken the metal giving it quite a handsome look....I reckon poly ROCKS & it is probably my FAVE 'tool' in my workshop....!

    Cheers for now,
    Tamarah :o)
