20 February, 2017 A Gathering of Baby Elephants! Inasmuch as I started yesterday writing about the largest of the Elephants in the collection, I figured I might as well feature the smallest also. (smile) This group of babies who will someday join the ranks of our largest land roving creatures, actually were a Christmas present…
“Elephant Walk….A Powerful Message!”
19 February, 2017 “Elephant Walk….A Powerful Message!” Well….as usual, I’m scanning the collection, trying to decide what piece(s) to write about. It occurred to me that I have not written about one of my favorite pieces as relates to what it brings to mind when I look at it. I wrote recently about…
In Search of “The King of the Mountain!”
10 February, 2017 In Search of “The King of the Mountain!” Yesterday I wrote of the cool trip to Palm Springs I took with Rita, Ted and Diana that lead to my receiving the Owl & the Peacock. The end of that installment found me mentioning that there was a brief detour we took that…
“So….Do You Play??”
12 February, 2017 “So….Do You Play??” Jodie and I recently talked about her favorite music from “back in the day” (well….her day anyway), so I thought I’d go ahead and write about the two musical instruments in the crystal collection. (smile) The title of this instalment is taken from a question that I still get…
“Our Planet’s Beautiful Blue Giants!”
16 February, 2017 “Our Planet’s Beautiful Blue Giants!” I have a few moments this morning before I get into my day, and I thought I’d peruse my photos to try to see what I’d write about. The Blue Whale Mom & Calf caught my attention because it occurred to me that as of yet I…
“The Owl & The Peacock!”
09 February, 2017 “The Owl & The Peacock!” Alright then, while I’m in a rather productive mood, I think I’ll start another Chronicle installment this evening. (smile) It occurred to me that as of this date, I have not written about any of the pieces that I might call my “Birds of a Feather” Series. …
“A Toast to Childhood Memories!”
02 February, 2017 “A Toast to Childhood Memories!” Well….I cannot believe that I’m starting yet another Chronicle today. I just finished the installment entitled “I Got A Phone Call That Morning!” That one really took me down an interesting memory lane. (smile) I remembered that I wrote about creating a series of shorter installments that…
“I Got A Phone Call That Morning!”
02 February, 2017 “I Got A Phone Call That Morning! Hi JoJo….it’s a really nice afternoon here in Vegas with our current temperature above normal at 66 degrees. I imagine that you’d appreciate that in New York as I’ve just seen that you’re enjoying (okay, maybe not “enjoying” [smile]) a chilly 39 degree day at…
Meet the “Ceylon Cinnamon Mare!”
01 January, 2017 Meet the “Ceylon Cinnamon Mare!” Well….Happy New Year!! (smile) I thought that this would be a perfect day to initiate one of my declared “New Year’s Resolutions”. I’m hoping that I can indeed stick to it, even though I know that the “inspiration” to sit and knock out a “Chronicle” does…
Blue & Yellow Sailboat….“I can’t believe that I did that!!”
19 October, 2015 Blue & Yellow Sailboat….“I can’t believe that I did that!!” I’ll tell you, this story is really one of the ones that I definitely will remember forever, because I was completely unprepared for the things that happened that day!! On my 50th birthday, I was caught totally by surprise by a number…
When a Rose is more than a Rose!
14 January, 2017 “When a Rose is more than a Rose!” Good Evening JoJo. I’m really pleased with myself right now because I’m actually trying to make good on my declaration to be more prolific in the production of installments of “The Crystal Chronicles” this year. (ha,ha,ha,ha) About a week ago, I decided that because…
The Thrill of Victory….The Agony of Defeat!
7 August, 2016 The Thrill of Victory….The Agony of Defeat! Hi JoJo, I’m surprising myself this morning because I’m sitting here so pumped up about writing this installment that I’m actually starting it before I’ve photographed the pieces I’m writing about!! (smile) That might be because 1) I don’t want to forget what I’m thinking…
