love4PIGGIES: # 4 of 5000 + "PIGGIES"

Foreword

Although I am trying to block everday, the commitment to dedicate enough time to do that is sometimes more challenging. I spent most of the weekend tryingto decide how I want my blog to look like and what information I want and need to talk about.

My really good friend Ashlina who introduced me to the world of blogging is the most dedicated person I know to this blogging phenomena. I have never seen anyone so informed on her subject matter and who knows exactly what to write about and what to say. She is absolutely amazing. You can check her fabulous site at http://www.thedecorista.com/

Of course this blog site is about my infinity of loving four legged farm animals who are sometimes overlooked and under appreciated for their cleverness. In our society the word "Pig" is used in so many definitive ways.

Check out this link www.thefreedictionary.com/pig on the various ways in which we use the word and it's meanings.

With all that said, I have found that blogging helps me escape from the hectic and crazy schedule we are sometimes faced with on any given day. When submerged in writing and playing with my site, a level of tranquillity sets in.

Why? would it not, when you are doing is writing and sharing about the thing you love most.

# 4 of 5000 + "PIGGIES"

Although I dont really count this as part of my collection its definately the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me. On many occasions I will get something in the mail from friends or family. something they have created, drawn, sewn, or whatever the case maybe regarding PIGGIES.

These gifts no matter if it is a colored picture from a coloring book from a niece or nephew, a knitted pair of pig socks made for me by an aunt or family friend, I hold these as my prize possessions. They mean more to me than the most expensive pig you could ever buy me. For the simple fact that that person took time to make something for "ME".

That's why I listed this as my next "PIGGIE". My partner Sven is so multi talented and I wish I had a little of that in me. He's a great fashion designer, costume designer, he cooks better than a chef, he sews, anything artistic he excels in. He decided to get into the Cake Decorating Business and sure enough he's almost mastered that. The pictures below is what he surprised me with on my birthday this past July. I can tell you that NO ONE was allowed to eat it and I still have it in the freezer.

thanks to my partner's new venture, The Cake Shack this is what he made for me. All of it was edible but no one (myself included) tasted it because I would not let anyone touch it.
