The Difference Between Apples & Oranges

Sometimes my father would say that I didn't know the difference between apples and oranges. Well I hope that over the years since then that I have learned a little. Life has presented many unusual moments which were not so certain. Back then I might not have known which way to go or who or what to chose, such is life and life can be so unpredictable. Yet, it has ultimately been the unpredictability that has led to one great adventure. I would not have it any other way. It's in the journey not the destination that I find joy. It's in not knowing what is around the next corner, or the next vexing problem that makes life worth living. So here's my try to show my Dad that maybe, just maybe, I have learned a little about the difference between apples and oranges. visionary imagist"Joey

"life can be so unpredictable"... It is so true... In a very suitable moment of my life, I met you in AW, Joey.. as if you came in the right moment... at the right place - here, as part of a change... AND Then... at another moment, you continued your journey else where.... away from here. I hope that you are WELL, Healthy and creative my friend. I would love to sEE some of your art, in future. You are greatly missed.

Wonderful way to portray it Joey. So funny how those little things they say stick with us...my Dad used to say the same thing. "Apples and oranges little girl...you don't know the difference" I hope they both know we know the difference now. :)

Artist Reply: Laurie: I think that great minds think alike. Sounds like our fathers might have known each other. :) Thanks for the comment!! continued good happenings to you.
