Traffic School Blues and Goober Peas

Though I've done my time INSIDE as well

Today's musical piece is dedicated to You-Know-Who-You-Are

Sung to the tune "Goober Peas"

Sitting in ole Starbucks.... on a summer's day .

Chattin' with my caf' mates,

Passin' time away.

Underneath the shadOW! of a traffic fine,

Goodness how delicious, cappauccino so devine

Chorus

Traffic School, Traffic School 

Doin' traffic school

Goodness how delicious coffee and traffic school!

Verse Two

I know I gotta get down to passing all my test.

The subject ain't interestin',

My mind is quite at rest.

The coffee's very tasty, that scone does make me drool. ‘

I rather be Photoshoppin',

Then enrolled in traffic school..

(chorus)

Modern Edificios y Negocios (Madrid)

PLEASE CLICK on these pictures to see the lively detail.


Modern buildings and city businesses in an unfamiliar country, are just as intriguing as the historical ones. They look so similar to the ones I know at home but, then again, something tells me that I'm not in Kansas any more.

Daisy's Duds (Printable Luggage Tag)

The most classic of the compositae flower, daises are a charmingly homey little flower. Not at all particular about their environment, they seem to like lovely, moist, compost-rich areas, but are happy to grow around here even in my heavy, patches of adobe soil. I particularly like finding them in a big stretch of park grass. My husband, a grass-mower from way back, assures me that he does not find them desirable.

I've never had the patience to attempt a daisy-chain, though I admire anyone who can sit for that long and not mind all the stems that slit too far back.

Does everybody know that 'Daisy' is one of the nicknames for 'Margaret'? Of course the french version of Margaret is Marguerite, and 'marguerite' is the french word for daisy. Here are the other nicknames I know- Meg, Meggie, Maggie, Madge, Rita, Gretta. I think I missed one or two. The challenge with using the spanish version of Margaret to name your daughter is that it's 'Margarita'. And that sounds like something I order with a burrito and fritas.

I created this tag to adorn a golden robe I sewed for my daughter. The wonderful vintage luggage tag background I used for this project is a free public download from the HauntingVisionsStock site. Thank you D-O-H!

I used Photoshop CS4 to transform one of my daisy photos.
