A bumpy Slip and Slide

Our littlest turned six and we celebrated with a bumpy slip and slide.  The kids had to keep stopping to remove the volcanic rocks under the plastic table cloth that the handy man had rigged up with some plumbing gear.

The Cane Fields are Flooding. The beach is eroding. The She-oaks roots are exposed. The little fellas' hair has been tamed by a blue-haired lady in a funky jump-suit. The limitations of wet weather were overcome when Grandpa's old toolbox was discovered. The magical contents of Grandpa's toolbox have been put on display inside the house, a new toolbox dedicated to Grandpa and all the making men in the family. The flood waters closed all roads to school, prompting an excursion to a big kids place of learning.  Where the locals were  friendly and inquisitive.

These Lalava lashed cyclinders left me feeling a little homesick for Samoa, eventhough they were created by a Tongin artist from New Zealand. These interpretations of lalava lashing patterns are currently inspiring two little ladies going for an arts grant. Standing in the PNG spirit house brought on a serene sense of belonging and ideas for displaying all the beautiful billums gifted to DSG over the past two years. Delightful island Marys' were carved to sit atop a Head in PNG. The fine mat of the islands starred in this interpretation of the Pieta.  This whimsical work reminded me that I was in the city, a long way away from Island life.
