Pogo-Minis AKA My Alter Egos...

****************************************

****************************************

Greetings from a very windy Cornwall. The leaves are falling fast from the trees as nature changes during autumn. This year seems to have gone so fast, hard to believe Christmas will soon be here...

I do not venture far if I can help it in this weather, prefering to stay indoors with the fire blazing...

One of my many interests is playing games on Club Pogo. It keeps this old brain active and it's fun to do. As with most online sites the players have a 'mini' and I like to change mine throughout the year. I call my pogo-mini my 'Alter Ego', which I think we all have..lol..

As seen in wikipedia - 'An Alter Ego (Latin, 'the other I') is a second self, a second personality within a person'

Don't know about that, all I know is that I have fun dressing my pogo-mini...May I introduce you to some of my 'Alter Egos'...

Springtime

Summertime

Autumn Leaves

New Years Eve

To be that slim again...lol..

To you all and your Alter Egos, take care until next time...Hugs Chrissy xx

Remembering The Fallen 2011

Hello from Cornwall on this day of Remembrance for all who have sacrificed their lives to protect their homelands......

Sent to a Sweetheart in Sussex, England

'Love from Frank'

Daddy, dear, we pray each night. And think so much of you. And you know, dear Daddy, don't you, That our love is ever true
'From Lilly with love to Daddy'

If I had wings, do you know what I would do? I'd fly o'er hills and valleys to you: But as I can't fly, I send through the post, This card to the one, I'm thinking of most

KATHLEEN MAVOURNEEN
*********************************

Kathleen Mavourneen, the grey dawn is breaking. The Horn of the hunter is heard on the hill; The Lark from her light wing the bright dew is shaking. Kathleen Mavourneen, what slumbering still?

Oh! hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever? Oh! hast thou forgotten this day we must part? It may be for years and it may be forever, Oh! why art thou silent thou voice of my heart? It may be for years and it may be forever, Then why art thou silent, Kathleen Mavourneen?

Kathleen Mavourneen, awake from thy slumbers, The Blue Mountains glow in the sun's golden light. Ah! where is the spell that once hung on numbers? Arise in thy beauty, thou star of my night. Arise in thy beauty, thou star of my night

Mavourneem, Mavourneen, my sad tears are falling, To think that from Erin and thee I must part; It may be for years and it may be forever. Then why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart? Then why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart?

***********************


On a lighter note, humerous postcards were also sent. No matter what is sent to try us, humour makes us smile......




I wish you all peace and happiness on this day...Until next time, take care...Hugs Chrissy xx




As the Stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the Heavenly Plain; As the Stars that are Starry in the Time of our Darkness, to the end, to the end, they remain
