Welcome to the islands.
We decided the Room we had,
simply was not roomy enough.

There are seven islands,
that arrange themselves into different patterns and positions.

Ahhh...the warm sand says it wants to play with our toes,
and the turquoise water wants to caress.

We wish we could import all the lovely gifts we were given before,
by our most beloved generous comrades.

Hey darlin',
we are home,
and we have room aplenty for many friends.

Peace and Joy!

ahhh, I can hardly wait to enjoy the weather, sights, sounds with friends, birds, fish. Minimalist materialist this time...only the clothes that fits in my pocket, if I even had a pocket since I'm no marsupial.

Ourcrazymodern?

Clothing is definitely optional in this balmy climate. I feel most real with nothing on - uninsulated.

It gets chilly up here in Canada these days, and the thought of cruising down to paradise is oh so welcome



Nothing like the sight of a beautiful island to ease the spirit.



Of course, sometimes the local weather is a bit forbidding . . .



So I'll take the underwater route (thank heavens I brought the right transport!)



It will be nice to kick back in one of your guest cabanas for a while. Soak up the ambiance. Enjoy my stay.

Kramus! Thank you for the gorgeous visuals.

You (and your loved ones) would be welcome to stay for as long as you desire,
These islands would be the perfect place for our artistic muses to run wild.

The muses may form their own special 'union' or 'unions' if they wish.
I look forward to the Muse festival.

All art supplies will be provided for everyone.
Of course you will probably want to bring your own favorite pens,
brushes, etc.

It is time for me to go hunting and fishing,
There will be food aplenty, for the belly, for thought , and for the soul.

Ooo! Can I visit sometime?
I'll bring along some flora. How about we start with Heliconia, Pandanus, Soursop, Mango, Guava, Pineapple, Taro, and Hibiscus.

Seven Islands ...Words and Music by Dave Olsen

Dreaming of those Seven Islands
Somewhere out at sea
Brilliant colors, waterfalls and
Mangos on the trees
Just beyond imagination
Waters crystal clear
Set in motion by the mystic
Music that you hear

Dancing on the sand at sunset
Paradise is all around you
Picture this so you won't forget
How happy you have been

Dreaming of those Seven Islands
Not so far away
I'm returning as the mystic
Music starts to play

Fly

i'll bring my horses for you guys to ride on the beach......






oh yeah.........i'll bring some bud for me.......

We will have fun introducing your horses to Stallion, Rhodes and Desiree.
What do your horses call themselves, what are their names?

That is a delectible sticky flower you have there...bud!

Good good Badnick, thanks for the song,
in a few days my computer should be out of intensive care and I will be able to hear music,
and post images again.

Dear GG...Truly Scrumptious.

I can feel the sweet mango and pineapple fluid,
dripping down after a bite.

Seven changeable islands,
Today I will call them the Pleiades.

I hear Ourcrazymodern's bell tinkling,
I must go now for a magic spell.

Our insula su insula,
make your selves 'ta home.

Hey phil!,
you dashing handsome dude you.
I'm glad you were able to find a tailor to make a suit that small,
but relax, formal wear is never a requirement here,
unless you enjoy it.

I do think one island could be groomed into a golf course of your dreams.

Have fun designing it!

I'd like to add a few more flowers, but I'm not sure what the climate is here in these islands. I guess I'll start throwing out seeds and see what pops up.

I think I'll write a book while I'm here, though I hope there's no paper, pencil, or other writing instrument, I'll just remember it.

on an outlying element of your archipelago, i will set up a garden of classification devices.
this one sprouts early in the season.



these devices help you focus

Hey darlin'! You remember how warm the statue became in the sun of the north? I'll bet we could cook eggs on it here. If not, it'd be inspirational in the grotto.

The female is still wearing that bracelet I gave her,
and I have seen activity about the place,
I will see if I can contact that crazy elusive wonderful shrink.

(thanks for the fix on the title roachboy.
oh..and it's very satisfying to say, "subangular flint pebbles", and, "hummocky surf."

Both would be good names for a band.

how 'bout these guys jammin' in kitts hummock, delaware?

A day spent at Opalescent cove:



The beach is strewn with them.




There will be fireworks.





then a bonfire



after, we will retire inside the hammock nests.

I love your stones, darlin'! Let's go roll around in them, shall we? Then we should check on the kids.

The kids have a good feel for their oats.
They called and said to expect them sometime this weekend.

Desiree let it slip that they're bringing us special presents.

I was on one of the islands today but didn't see any of you guys. It was beautiful and a warm sunny day. I took a walk on the beach. But I had to leave before nightfall to help my son with his homework. I took a couple shiny opal rocks home for him. I'll be back.

Sand smooths the rocks.
Sand smooths our feet.
Sand soothes.

Our noses know.
I need to know you again soon.

I came out here, couldn't dock the boat nowhere...

Perhaps you could set two anchors and then swim ashore.
The dolphins will guide you.

Then follow the scent of good food, the sound of your favorite music,
and you will find us.
Welcome!
