Friday Five Minutes; Friday 5 meme, and assorted Junk.

The rules of this is that you take off writing, no stopping for anything, except I hope misplaced fingers on the keyboard that result in this sort of thing:   O a, truojg tp tu[e wortj jstmfd om etpmg [;esdrd/  jrjrjrjr#

And we have to, but actually delight in reading and commenting on at least one other participant's blog entry.

Here goes for the word "Glue", which is amazingly good for me this week:

~♥~ Glue:  ~♥~

Glue holds my crafting life together.  I must use about 40 different types of glue in that ambition.  But a new glue entered my life, most recently, when I was glued back together with it!  I don't know what this amazing glue is but it's still working.
As for other glues, the type of human bonds. family and friends are the constant delight that I try to stay glued to, if only in thoughts, for the whole of the day.  Bringing belovéd people to mind is one of the best things about being alive.  The joy of blogging is that you meet so many other people who are working their way through lives and traumas much like you are, and you can pray for them, think about them and find joy in their triumphs.


Crafting clue has gotten to some sort of threshold of all things that hold my life together.  There is the the oldest clue, animal clues which I use littel anymore, glues that you can make yourself for special older projects, and also there is wood glue, and ancient formula that is still highly effective.  I think there is only thirty seconds left, so I have to mention flour and water.  Our ancestors did amazing things with such glue.

Done!

What were the circumstances surrounding your last reception of unwanted attention from strangers?

 I'm very approachable.  I very much feel like all others are my brothers and sisters.  I mean that's the way I respond to them.  That being said, people need to be mindful to give others their space.

So, the only incident I can remember was when I was about 30, and DH and I were taking a night class for making picture frames.  We had one class at the teacher's shop.  It was in a sort of "iffy" place in town, but it was well lit and a lovely place.  Suddenly I looked up and there were two young men, standing right next to me, who were not from the class.  They had wandered in off the street.  

I looked up, and not being afraid, I just smiled at each, and we all said hello.  They asked me what was going on, and I said that we were learning how to make frames.  These two young men looked around at others.  They addressed the teacher,  but some sort of tension of the teacher, a tall and sturdy fellow, alerted me to his fear.   I just remained calm and answered questions, they never felt like a threat to me.  I was meeting souls,  just as I'd trained myself to do.   Only later did I realize that it was a pretty tense situation.  The teacher/shop owner never took us back there. 

How do you feel about being flirted with?  I think of it as very charming, and gallant.  At my age, it's fun.  Since I'm still a kid inside, it's like school girl things.  DH sometimes flirts a little with me, and that's even more fun.  

Whose attention would you like a little more of?  Who?  Hmm.  I wish DH and I could do things more together.  I think now maybe we can!

How’s your attention span? In some ways it's lengthening, and in some ways is very much shortened.  It depends on how deeply I want to delve into some problem or idea. 

Who in your life seems to crave the most attention?  That would be the furbaby, Wolfie.  He's already had his forehead glued together, here.....

He is a rescue pup whom no one ever taught to play, whom they must have beaten and ignored as well.  So, of course, he loves cuddles and treats, going for rides in the car with the Alpha Dogs, and those long walks with the Alpha Male. 

Thanks for participating, and have a wonderful weekend!

I have to get out the socks, so that they may see progress - stitch by tiny stitch.   called my sister this morning, and told her the long list of things I mean to get done, after tossing anything in my way.  She just laughed.
