no…it was while i was waiting for this workshop to begin.
i forget exactly when…
i think around christmas when i was working on the
handpuppets for baby Julian and his mom Alyssia. i’d
gotten to remembering how once i wanted to be a
traveling puppet theater.
when i got involved in being the part owner of the book
store and when we created the bookstore out of an old
two story house, one of the rooms upstairs was a childrens
room. another woman and i began doing puppet theater
in there on weekends. i really loved that.LikeLike

I’m sure you were very good puppeteer, I can hear all the stories you would have told the children – i love the way you express yourself. when i was a child my dad took me to see the puppets almost every Sunday to a park and i remember at times they scared me, i don’t hear of any puppets around much nowadays!!!

Herm…i think that was part of the purpose of puppet theater…
to uhhhhh, accentuate things…which could sometimes be scarey.
but that is how we learn.
Manya does this with her storytelling. wouldn’t it be great if
we could all go to Greece and watch?, cheer!, clap! whistle?!
no…i think not too many puppets.
what i love about kids and hand puppets, is that puppets can
sometimes say things that the child would be shy to say. but
the puppet isn’t.
where was that…that your dad took you?LikeLike

The park was in Monterrey, Mexico where I was born and grew up, then I married Sam and came to live in Portland 48 years ago in 1962, but i still have a lot of family and go every other year to visit. Would love to go to Greece, love to travel, been in other countries but that one!

me. but alas….i am a home body of sorts. but i
WOULD love to sit with Manya on the shore of her sea

yes Portland is beautiful and clean but the weather is awful, that is why we go to Minn in the summer, to be warm and see the sun everyday. Your last paragraph is very poetic, do you write poetry?

i tried to live in Eugene O but the damp was oppressive.
Nance, however loves it and when she visited, felt like
she would just dry up to dust here.
poetry…well i used to write A LOT. loved it. then
it just didn’t want to happen anymore. i don’t miss it.
writing it…but i still love to read it.
the other day when i went to the alzheimery persons house
instead of what i’d intended to do, we ended up sitting
in the sun while i read Mary Oliver to her. was a
very happy day.LikeLike
