Liz, did you bring in all your lovely decorations? You'd better not venture out...am home, bathed, pj's and resting..thought what a waste of time so I'm downstairs looking for a project perhaps I can do while sitting..must give my head a shake...

When I got home another SIL (my side of the family) called to tell me the James Wilkie a friend of mine whom I lost touch with several years ago when he moved and I moved who is a world renoun psychic who has done Royalty, astronaughts, movie stars died before Christmas..she's going to e-mail me she said tonight his write up..what a man..very excentric..said I once was a famous jezebel, men waited on me hand and foot, I was terrible..said my punishment in this life was waiting on men...could be right..he donated time at local hospital and they switched tray system and gave him about 100 so he came to class with all the girls and went home proud of his accomplishments..who knows the photo of me might be worth $$$ some day..he kept the one of me laying on the couch in Egyptian times for himself..will have to keep my eyes open at art auctions...lol



I'll have to tell you some of the stories and different things that happened years ago at dinner parties I had...anyway, it's sad as well...always reminded me of Liberaci (?)

He worked with Mother Theresa for several years came back very confused..bought a home in a nearby town and because of his background, his unusual appearance they made fun of him so he never quite fit it...remember visiting and he took me on a tour upstairs..all along the walls was art depicting his impression of all the different people he had met..I loved mine..showed I had a kind heart...

He never drove a car, all his money was spent on antiques..he had the crown that Yul Brenner wore in 'the Kind and I', he also had a portrait of Jesus done by priests in the early century..beard was woven by human hair..his table was always set with Royal Dalton fine china..loved him..I would venture to say he probably was in his mid 80's..he would sit and tell you story after story of some of his readings...

I remember once after Roger died I had build a large craft room over the lake because it was something Roger always said he would do for me, did it because it felt he had left something undone, anyway it was several years after his death and I dated a few times...anyway Jimmy (James) was over for lunch and we were sitting having tea..he told me that Roger's spirit visited often, he felt comfort in what I had accomplished...well I said "Jimmy, sure hope he wasn't here Saturday when my date spent the night" he chocked and started to laugh..we had so many amusing times...I'll have to go through photo boxes and find the photo's and cards he sent me...I valued his friendship..another loss..I've so many memories...

Almost afraid to answer the telephone...that's 2 bad news events today..don't they come in 3's...maybe I can cound FIL's 1st anniversary of his death tomorrow....
