Yes it was; it reminds me of my elder sons friend from Kindy!
He was in the Australian Army, he was captured in North Africa by Rommels troops and actually had a chat with Rommel, the was send to a German Camp and tried to escape several times, the last time he was lucky! However, he got to Serbia and then down to the mountains and joined Tito’s Band!
He said each time he asked when do we get to the sea, the same reply ways over the next mountain! Of course that never happened till the end of the war itself! But there are not many people that can say they had spoken to both Rommel and Tito.
Tito governed the Parisans before he was Yugoslavia’s President.

America’s beloved golden girl, Betty White, has died at the age of 99 – little more than two weeks shy of her 100th birthday. She leaves behind a massive legacy as a comedienne, actress, author, animal rights activist and one of the first female pioneers in television. In a business where longevity is rare, she broke the mold. With her dimpled smile and wicked sense of humor; she lit up television screens and delighted audiences in hundreds of sitcoms, commercials and films throughout her eight-decade-long career in Hollywood. Her roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Golden Girls turned her into a household fixture; while her appearance on SNL at the age of 88 cemented her designation as a ‘national treasure.’ She holds the Guinness Record for ‘Longest TV Career for an Entertainer;’ her 80-year devotion to showbiz also earned her eight Emmy Awards, 21 nominations and legions of fans who will always remember her quick wit and top drawer comedic timing.
On this first day of the New Year I thought rather than put sad news up I must find something happy and beautiful to share with people that have suffered a stroke or anyone that enjoys beautiful things.
We have a Gardening Thread so I cannot put that!
I thought I would find something that is beautiful to behold in the eye!
Jeweler!
I remember years ago there was a art of Mosaics in jewelers and I have looked for that to share I hope you enjoy them.
I am thinking how like the eye is so dainty like mosaic!
The intricacies of the working of the eye in my case it was damaged due to the Stroke the swelling has gone down according to the doctors the brain damage too so although my sight is not as good as it was in one area it is legal for me to drive again. Personally I cannot notice hardly any difference now and I hope it doesn’t alter.
I hope all the people that are struggling to sort out the frustrations of having a store will find 2020 a brighter and happier year with their health and happiness. Some days are much easier than others I have found but I hope you are able to enjoy and smell the roses in our life and receive lots of love and hugs from your family and friends as you plod along!
