Rosa and her father

Rosa (Diosa) Castillo and Jose Castillo are members of quite a family, 6 children, numerous cousins and a nice pile of silver in the bank. Rosa is seen as perhaps a heroine in her home town and her father is a well to do trader. More can be heard of these two's lives On the Oronegro blog actually this time I highly recommend you look if you want to know the story of why little Rosa's nickname is goddess!
Posing for a painting, unfortunately for Jose he just had to be talking to his son Rolando when the painter asked for them to stop moving to allow him to paint

then for some reason once he had finished the first painting he asked them to come back another day so that he could paint them from behind... what a strange painter.
There we go guys and before I leave you to hopefully have a good day/night I'll make a special mention to Chikita now she does not have a blogger blog but I met her a few days ago and so we know of each others blog. here is a link to Messages to Mumbai her blog which is on wordpess, in which she talks about some very important issues that face us today, she is a peace advocate as well, she talks about bullying as well. So perhaps not for all my followers but I am sure some of you here would like to hear her words and see what she has to say. I myself am following her blog by email and would like it if perhaps some of you did too.

Well there we go! Today was a busy day, because of swim sports, I got Best Dressed Swimmer... you might see a picture either on the colleges site or in the news paper, all I know is that I looked ridiculous... all part of the job eh! Well hope your all looking forwards the week end, have a great day everyone!!!

    1. picture... waiting to see if and when they appear. I did look rediculous so perhaps it is likely but I'll post them if they appear... give it a couple of days

  2. You are a major talent Gowan. Sculpting, building from scratch and writing as well. These figures have so much charm to them. Lovely work.
