In Irish mythology the swan is significant and appears in many stories and tales.<br /><br />California is a beautiful state, I have been to Universal Studios there but not Disney, stayed on the Queen Mary on business, Howard Hughes Museum. Fun.<br /><br />You are welcome to sit on one of the nicest beaches in the world, Indian Rocks Beach Florida (where my date of rest was painted). It is one of the best kept secrets in the USA, the sand is white pearl and dolphins are a common sight. <br /><br />German and French and the Med. backgrounds provide for an interesting balance, the creative side and the logical side - all are needed.<br /><br />Thanks again for reading my blog and commenting. I means very much to me.<br />Helen xxxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571340508841427418.post-62893615454549766442011-07-07T13:26:24.943-07:002011-07-07T13:26:24.943-07:00A generation or two back....Ireland for me and ver...A generation or two back....Ireland for me and very proud of it!

The drawl is an added bonus and I find it very flattering, so do not ever lose it.<br /><br />I absolutely love comments on a blog and I always read them on others blogs too as they can complete the story and give more clues on the blogger. There are such marvelous minds who can really put pen to paper and when there is wit too, it is simply heavenly.<br /><br />Thanks for your approval of my art, I truly appreciate it.<br /><br />Helenhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571340508841427418.post-7417706135029258192011-07-06T07:45:15.407-07:002011-07-06T07:45:15.407-07:00What a fun post...and interesting!

It was a surprise when the TV station called and asked to film me (I thought it was a friend making a prank call! oh I have those kind of freinds)I was nervous, and it is also hard working the left brain and right brain simultaneously. They were so professional and you will notice the interviewer's voice is not on video, which means I had to indicate the question with each of my responses. It was so much fun once I got over being nervous. It was filmed on the street and many of the street characters would stop by and interupt the camera man who was most patient. One poor chap yelled out as we were wrapping up "Who is she, is she famous", the camera man stopped rolling the film and said "yes, let me introudce you to her" and I even signed an autograph. Ha Ha..<br />My best<br />Helen xxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571340508841427418.post-11330387189532418232011-07-03T18:54:37.181-07:002011-07-03T18:54:37.181-07:00Ted and Bunny
