We're in single digits this morning. In simple term it cold. Planning to go over to Liz today. I'm guessing she not up yet. Shortly I will be packing a lunch and going to Under the sun. Having a cup of coffee and some gelato. Plus I will take dairy pill. It been a good 4 or 5 months since I had any ice cream.
Yesterday I took Regis to his psychiatrist appointment, pick up some of his medical supplies. At place he gets his medical supplies I want to know they had any covid test. They were out and clueless when next batch will be coming in. We also stop library. Regis got his regular dvds. I usually get three of them. Got one movie, Vincent & Theo which stars Tim Roth and Paul Rhys. Than also I got two films sort of using the Dewey Decimal system. I like documentaries. When I was in school we learn the Dewey Decimal system. I should look up and see if the still teach it. I'm working on 700 class which would be arts and recreation. One is in ceramic arts (738) Textile art (746) I didn't get a book, I got book at our local book store, Bonners Book. Little late for timing of reading, History of the Christmas Card by George Buday.
I feel like challenging my self to story. I'm going use JOURNAL QUESTION OF THE DAY and I'm doing number 37. Write a sequel to your favorite fairy tell. I don't have favorite fairy tell. I think they are mostly horrible. But I know the main one, that Disney made into movies. So I will go with "Snow White and Seven Dwarfs"
As we all know Snow White married her prince charming. They never lived in palace, but a nice large cottage on top of hill. And like any other couples they had there high words. But they love each other and had 6 children 4 girls and 2 boys. Snow White didn't like being co-depend. And was embarrassed to ask for money. He was actual quite encouraging. Since she could really knit socks. She knitted sock for the dwarfs as they worked in mine, which was cold and damp. Working condition was horrible. So her husband called a few stores and ask if his wife could sale her hand knitted sock in their store. So she could make her own pocket money. All the 3 store said yes.
Plus she felt sorry for Dwarfs and she and her husband became quite activate in labor rights. They petition for better working condition. Better wages and if they worked over time they still got paid. See the owner of mine, figure $2.00 a day and some days went on and on. So now the Dwarfs was paid twenty cents and hour. Sure this was less than $2.00 a day. But sometime the Dwarfs would work a 10 hour and 16 hour day and still receive $2.00 a day. Now if any of them worked 10 hours pay would been $2.00. 16 hour work day has an earning of $3.20. With Snow White and Prince pushing for better work condition. I'm sure more things improved.
Today Artist is XIE SHICHEN
Coffee is on and stay safe
Great story haha
ReplyDeleteLove your Snow White story. The dwarves should have formed a union and withdrawn their labour.
ReplyDeleteI always thought Gelato was dairy free, so off I went to google and I was WRONG! I got it mixed up with sorbet.
ReplyDeleteI like your Fairy story, but I think the dwarves should have got paid more. Less than $2 a day for all that mining is just not enough.
Enjoy your books and films! Valerie
ReplyDelete...I love the art, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love your ending of that fairy tale!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting. Love snow white and the dwarves story.
ReplyDeleteMmmm….gelato ….
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the show, Once Upon A Time on ABC. They rewrote the fairy tales. I like to quote that show, "magic always comes with a price", except I like to say, "love always comes with a price". True love was always free in the show, but we know better than that.
ReplyDeleteYour book is not late. You're just really early for *next* Christmas.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Regis kept you fairly busy. That was quite the story about Snow White!
ReplyDeleteBrrr! I am not a fan of cold weather. That's why I've been in the tropics for over 25 years.
ReplyDeleteI never bought the happy ever after ending for any story. Still don't. Someone's in denial. Lol.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the Snow White sequel (if only!) and the artist you featured. May 2022 bring you better things than 2021 did. My hope for you and everyone. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
