Happy New Year to you all! We're Gently easing in...

Couldn't help snapping a pic or two of a beautiful napping Brenty in the warm light.

After all the recent hooplah of Miami and the Gameland show and Christmas travels and working longer hours we decided to take it easy on New Years Eve...both of us having worked during the day and feeling a bit under the weather and in need of Rest. Brent made a Spicy yummy gumbo and we relaxed on the couch...watched 2 episodes from a 'BattleStar Galactica' series DVD his brother lent us (we don't have tv so I never see things like this...I'm actually enjoying it a lot.well, of course being a Cylon and all..!;)....reading to eachother a bit from Jane Jacobs 'The Death and Life of Great American Cities' and talking about hopes for the New Year....with regard to our bigger slow-moving hopes/dreams/projects... (CDV, 10%Club, Pier10,)...and the challenges of debt, finances and focus...both wishing we could dedicate the hours we spend at our dayjobs to these projects instead..and trying to figure out if there is a way...

incidentally, i found "life and death" for cheaps at the new MEGA USED BOOKSTORE (uh-oh, i don't "go" there, officially). it's sitting on my shelf. but, i can't read anything while i am writing fictions. i have a story to tell. it's about a forest.

my goodness, what a beautiful bed! Wherever did you find it?

Surfed over here from you 10%club page - very, very cool! I wish more people had your motivation to go about making the world a better place.

Anyhow, Happy New Year!

hello and thanks! Happy New Year to you too:)

well I must admit I'm always hoping to get to retell the story of this bed...so thanks!;)
It all began when our friend Retno gifted us the two carved figures which she had from her family in Indonesia. We loved them and had them on the wall over our bed for a long while. Then at Salvation Army we got bedroom furniture...and I found this bedboard...and you would not believe what it looked like before...it was shiny coated lacquer-ish dark brown...but I loved the shape of it and thought it had potential if we could sand it down..
Then one Christmas I went to visit my family in forida and when i returned, Brent had created this!-sanding and painting the bedboard to match the figures perfectly...and they seem to BELONG there...it's one of those things that just mean so much to me...an integration of sorts over time...without the pre-plan of it all...a nestling of times and memories within times...a valuing of then and now into a sort of always..hard to explain but lots of feelings:)

brilliant! they certainly seem to fit together - i thought it was an actual piece, not a medley of mediums. Your story could be a nick bantock story!

I am entralled with your 10% initiative, so I'm adding you in the hopes of getting to know a like minded individual.

hee now it all makes sense! your name looked so awfully familiar, thought you were part of the 10%club group and/or my friend already- and it's that you're good friends with rokkitz and spacebotz (eliav and ariella)and I've sen you on their page methinks often! Nick Bantock mention threw me because right next to my computer now are books by him that Eliav gave me while back!lol. adding you too. entangling further to get to know:)
