   I used to be wrecked and hanging on by a tread, then I was a bumper car. Now I am a red dragon embracing a red rose. Why, because i am a redhead, and you know, we are just a little edgy that way.

         I have another movie, I am trying to find, and good Luck! It is written by a war bride, and now she has gone home to Korea to start a charity there. It is called Heaven and Earth, but now there is another movie with that name.

   One morning I was sitting in my taxi cab at the Tuscany Hotel on Flamingo Blvd. looking East and seen the prettiest sunrise ever. So I had to take several pictures to capture the moment.
   
   This was about 2 or 3 years when California had a big wildfire and a lot of ash was in the air blowing towards Vegas. All of this material in the air made the sunrise very colorful. This picture is just as it appeared, no photoshopping at all besides removing excess noise.
   
   I like how you can see the outline of a low flying jet headed towards McCarran Airport about 2 miles away.

   After weeks of work and no play I looked forward to a night out with some girl friends, I couldn't wait to change my shopping list from 3 bags of gravel, myplex, nails, wood and a tin of cuprinol to Lipstick, Lingerie, Mascara, and perfume, then swap my muddy boots for high heels. Something unexpected happened and I was not able to go with the girls after all, feeling rather disappointed I dressed up anyway and had a picnic in my bathroom, this photograph was one of a collection that told the story of my night in, and I posted it to a friend.

    Stimpposted 13 years ago

    "Stimpson J. Dwag"...aka Stimp was the name of my 17 year old Pomeranian who I laid to rest over a year ago.  Thus, the name Stimp.  Firstly, to remain genderless on the forums (many assume based on my comments that I'm of one gender or the other and are surprised when they REALLY find out the truth). And, Secondly, in his honor.
    
    The avatars, however, are of his predecessor Timmy (Timmy, being a derivative of the name sTIMp).  Timmy is a mini American Eskimo and has ADHD. 
    
    Stimp's death devastated me (I had two others very close to me pass that same year) and receiving Timmy was the greatest gift that Stimp could have "sent" me in his after life.
    
    So, there ya have it.
    
    The only "Stimp" avatar seen here is one I use at Christmas time.  Of Stimp in a christmas hat taken 18 years ago.

It was also that much better because my husband was with me and got to meet someone I'd always talked about and wanted to settle 'unfinished business' with!  And it involved Griffin - the other love of my life!
