While cleaning my aunt's house, I discover lots of boxes with old notes and papers. One by one I take a box and go thru it with my Aunt. Last I had this pretty red box with lots of song text in it. This one I want to share
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up were the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why, then, oh why can't I?

This song is older than I.

The day after
Yesterday I was asked to go help somewhere. A bit reluctant I went along because I was asked and did not want to say no. When I came into the room I found about 100 people in attendance. Mostly Hobbypatchers with my parents and 2 of my bellydance friends. A few of them had decided to celebrate my latest birthday and had invited as many as they could.
So I had to sit and listen patiently as they gave me all kinds of compliments. They told me how happy they were that I keep HobbyPatch and bestowed me with gifts and attention.
I was almost ashamed to be the center of so much attention. Funny they only talked about the positive things. I am sure there are some lesser sides to my personality. I glanzed at my sons and hope that in years to come they can have as many friends as I have.
Yeah yesterday was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

in english
Since I started this blog I don't keep it up very well but meanwhile I have two other ones. I decided to convert this to an english version for my international contacts.
If I can write something decent once a week I will be happy. I admire my daughter in law who has kept us up to date since my grandson is born.
Why "somewhere over the rainbow"? Well there once was a song that I liked and I played with the idea of naming my shop this way but decided against it after all: as to vague and to unspecific. But as phrases do, this one stuck into my head."Somewhere over the rainbow" promises of endless, and internal happiness.
Somehow I realise that "somewhere over the rainbow" starts in your own head and if you want a world full of color for you and yours then only you can work at it little by little.
As swift as a rainbow is, so is life. Yet no rainbow without rain .... So be as a bird and start with a morning song, work all day at building and feeding all along singing your heart out.
