I found these flowers on a comb at my sister's day care center and had to try them out. Life is too short to pass up taking a humiliating photo when the chance arises. And thank goodness there is no video of me singing, "I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and gay, and I pity any*one* who isn't me today !!" |

Be An Angel Newsletter
MAY 2009
A heart felt thank-you to everyone who sent a small note of encouragement after receiving
my first newsletter. It has given me the courage to try again to communicate with friends
and family.
I have been busy doing too many things, few of them having to do with clay. Such as
creating a blog for my sister's day care center. I did make 8 medium sized angels, two very
large ones, a lady who is probably Mexican and a big old wolf in an Indian blanket. See
them, my May clay work, here. They are all fired and painted. Things explode in kilns, so
until they are painted and in my photographed folder, they do not yet exist.

I learned how to use Picasa, a
free program, to make "movies"
of my photos, upload them to
youtube.com and then add
music to them.
They came out well for a first try.
You could do it with your
photos and videos, too.

month of April, 2009. Always click on the HQ

Barb and Jan McKeighen
gave me this sweet chair to
paint for their favorite
charity, La Pilita, next to El
Minuto Cafe and El Tiradito
Shrine downtown.
I made it into an Abuelita's
Time Out Chair. It was fun
to do. Lunch with them was
fun, too.

I spent almost a week working on El Centro
Cultural de las America's TAMAL FIESTA, office
work, publicity and then cooking. It was a
wonderful time. Then I made a slide show.

| If you want to have the fun that I do sending emails to grandchildren and friend's, email delivered by speaking monkeys, with British accents, or not, well then, GO HERE to Monk E-Mail. I type phonetically to make them speak Spanish and I am always the red beehived receptionist in her business suit in her office wearing glasses and holding a pretzel. And, I use the Kate's voice offered. |

I have a friend who is a severely
disabled poet and activist. She
chains her wheelchair to the White
House fence and fights for
freedom for all severely disabled
people. That links to an interview.
Wild, hehehehh.
Well, she is very poor, makes her
living writing blogs, poetry and
articles on her "freedom" of
movement. And she gets a small
stipend to live in her own
apartment with only 16 hrs. of care,
actually it's more like 21 hours
because her night people work 8
hours but only get paid for 3!! This
is why she fights the government.
It costs us all much less to do this
than to put her in a nursing home,
did you know that?? She
graduates here...
Anyway, she asked all of us friends
to give her birthday gifts to a
charity and not to her.
Now, that is selfless behavior.
I admire the heck out of her wild
freedom, as I might just sit there
under her circumstances and pity
myself endlessly. Now her defense
fund needs money. You could
email her defense money through
Paypal.com to her email address
martina_robinson@hotmail.com ;
she's been arrested 24 times.
Maybe you could give a small gift
as a present to her charity.
Her latest BLOG follows>>>> "I
made a birthday wish on Facebook.
You can donate here. I don't care
if my donors come from Blogit,
Facebook, or wherever. I just
want to raise at least $660 for the
Colorado Cross-Disability
Coalition. They're a very cool
organization that helps people
with all disabilities organize across
diagnosis boundaries. I wish
Massachusettes had such a group,
but we don't that I know of.
I went to Rainbow graduation at
UMass. I'm on the Speakers
Bureau, which helps people
understand more about LGBT
issues. I've gone to this event for
four years now and really enjoy it.
They usually have some really
brilliant speaker.
I am proud of myself for taking the
bus twice today and being more
planet friendly. My friend's Sarah's
Div III (final thesis at Hampshire
College). It was on the anti-war
movement and she said something
about "her complicity in the
deaths" in the Middle East
because she drove lots. I'm really
going to reduce my use of van
service. In this warmer weather
the bus is more doable. In the
winter, I need to take the van."

My coffee mugs and storytellers are not in the video as I could not get their photos in time. I will do a much better video in the future with order numbers next to photos, etc. for pausing the show and writing down what you want to order. Sorry, I am an impatient, slow learner and mess up first, then tighten up later. |
