Introduction page: this is a story written and illustrated by me <i>Gloria Poole</i>,RN,artist of Missouri and Georgia in year 2013 and 2014. I am reorganizing it so it flows sequentially and is easier to read. The above cartoon is to illustrate what this story is about and that is encouraging parents and care-givers to read to small children. The story and illustrations of The Lady bugs that give picnics are reorganized by me Gloria Poole as author and illustrator to simplify its on line readability. All of these pages were added one by one to begin with and are in the archives of this blog but I am putting the story in sequence on this post. <p>Page 1 :<p><br />

the Lady Bugs had, and since the giant lizard did, the Lady Bugs decided to schedule another picnic <br />
in a safer place than The Meadow.<P>
They put their heads together and came up with the idea that probably the Fantasy Forest would appeal more to Red Cap Monkey,<br /><P>

When Lady Octavia got home, she called up Fuchsia Rabbit on her cell phone to ask <P>
if she received the invitation and directions. Ring Ring! Fuchsia Rabbit answered.<br /><P>
"Fuchsia Rabbit, we missed you at the picnic and have sent you an invitation to another picnic ,<P>
with directions. " begins Lady Octavia.<p><br />
Fuchsia Rabbit replies, "yes, those came in the mail. Thank you very much. " <p><br />
"Well, I don't want to pry but I was wondering why you missed the first picnic? " asks Lady Octavia, <P>
"perhaps you didn't know the way?"<p><br />
"Oh, no dear, I know the way. We rabbits always know our way around to the places where carrots and leafy greens are,<P>
"replied Fuschia Rabbit, "but I think you might laugh when I tell you what happened. "<br /><P>
<p>"Well, possibly, because I was quite worried Lone Wolf had eaten you! Not a laughing matter at all, " says Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"Lone Wolf? I don't know him, Is he new in The Meadow?" asks Fuchsia.<p><br />
"How can you not know him? He is ferocious. And those teeth--why he could probably swallow you in one bite,"<P>
says Lady Octavia obviously stressed.<p><br />
"Well, I don't think I have ever met him,"replies Fushcia.<p><br />
"I will zing over to you right now a photo I took of him once on my cell phone when <P>
we Lady Bugs say him approaching. You must always know your enemies," says Lady Octavia,<P>
and she hits the green send button on her cellphone. Zing!<p><br />

Fushcia looks at her text messages and says ,"that photo arrived, and you are quite right.<P>
Those teeth of his are scary. I will certainly be on the look-out for him from now on."<p><br />
"But Fushcia, you didn't tell me why you didn't come to the first picnic., " replies Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"Now, don't laugh because it's absolutely true. But my built in wi-fi just went berserk that day," says Fuchsia.<p><br />
"Your built in wi-fi?" asks Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"My whiskers!" answer Fuchsia Rabbit, "my whiskers are antennas, surely you knew that about rabbits?"<p><br />
"Well, maybe. But I didn't know you picked the wi-fi signal on them!" says Lady Octavia rather excitedly, "who knew?" <p><br />
Fuchsia said, " well, when that Satnav, or GlossNost Satellite goes over my head, my whiskers tingle at first,<P>
then vibrate furiously. I get mixed signals with the planet earth, <br /><P>
and I have to just stop in my tracks. It becomes confusing to me. "<p><br />

"Why, you poor thing. I can only imagine what that must be like. I have tiny antennas too," says Lady Octavia,<P>
"but unfortunately I I don't get free wi-fi on them. I am not even sure
what a satellite is."<p><br />
"I have a photo of one I saved from the news.Can you receive multi-media on your cell phone?'asks Fuchsia,<P>

"Oh, my! look at that! "says Lady Octavia as she studies the satellite,"is that how it looks over the earth?"<p><br />
Fuchsia replies, "yes, I think it is over the ocean in that photo in the news. It is really quite amazing because <P>
it sends T.V. and wifi signals and it can jam signals too," says Fuchsia.<p><br />
"What!," exclaims Lady Octavia with fury rising, "maybe that is what happens to my home wi-fi?"<p><br />
"It is possible. I read all about in the BBC news and saved the photo just in case I ever saw it,<P>
I would recognize it", says Fuchsia Rabbit.<p><br />
"Can you see into outer space?asks Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"We rabbits are nocturnal creatures so we have very good night vision, "replies Fushcia,<P>
"and the satellite passes over head and sort of glows so I imagine that it is it."<p><br />
"hmm, what to think? asks Lady Octavia, "but I have so many tasks to accomplish before the next picnic."<p><br />
"Maybe I will wrap my whiskers in tin foil before heading to the Twin Mushrooms pavilion," says Fushcia Rabbit as she rings off.<p><br />
Lady Octavia laughs heartily, "that would be a sight to behold for certain! <P>
Why it's a hysterical image in my mind to think on it, "says Lady Octavia. <p><br /></span>

Lady Octavia calls up Red Cap Monkey on his cell phone. "Red, we Ladies were sad that you didn't make to the first picnic.<P>
Did you get lost, dear? asks Lady Octavia.<p><br />
Red Cap Monkey replied, "Ms Octavia, I was on my way there. And the sun was roasting my behind! <P>
I got all sweaty and then I saw the banana tree and the fruit there,<br /><P>
and I could almost taste it. And I thought how cool the banana tree forest is, and<P>
I just went there instead."<p><br />

Lady Octavia said, "oh", rather sad that their picnic couldn't compete with a banana tree. <p><br />
Red quickly realized he had hurt her feelings, so he said, "Lady Octavia, there's more to it.<P>
I guess I just don't like to admit it but its' true. I was scared." <p><br />
"Scared of what, Red?' asks Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"Well. To tell you the truth I am not sure what that thing in the sky is, but it scares me", answers Red.<p><br />
"Oh, do you mean the satellite? asks Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"No, I mean that thing that looks like a mechanical bird. Some people call it a drone,<P>
but I call it bombardier bird ,"replies Red Cap.<p><br />
"Bombadier Bird?", asks Lady Octavia, " I don't think I have seen that. <P>
Fuchsia Rabbit just told me about the satellite about ten minutes ago. I guess I have been out-of-the-loop<br />
on electronics."<p><br />
"That bombardier bird is an attack thing in disguise. I am sure of it," says Red.<p><br />
"How can you be so sure?, asks Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"I saw it with my own two eyes as it nose-dived, scooped up something, <P>
took flight with its mechanical wings going 90 miles a minute," says Red.<p><br />
"Well, birds do have wings you know, and 90 miles a minute is not so fast for a bird," replies Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"Ms Octavia, that is no bird! If you ever saw it you would know what I mean," replies Red Cap.<p><br />
"Do you have a picture of it by any chance?, asks Lady Octavia,<P>
" I would certainly like to see what you are talking about."<p><br />
"Yes, I photographed it on my cell phone, thinking this is news,<P>
that maybe I should send to the newspaper,"replies Red Cap.<p><br />
"Well. Zing it over to me right now please. You have stoked my curiosity, "says Lady Octavia.<p><br />
So, Red Cap found the photo on his cell phone and clicked the green send button.
<P>"There, I've sent it, " he said,"Let me know if you don't receive it."<p><br />

"Thanks, Red Cap, it arrived. It is sort of odd looking, isn't it? asks Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"Yes, I am convinced it is not real, but mechanical spy," says Red.<p><br />
"Oh, before I forget. There is one other thing to watch for on the path to Fantasy Forest," says Lady Octavia.<P>
"it is not so much a risk to you because of your size, but of course, if they smashed into you,<P>
they could break some bones or something,<P>
so you have to be aware. Also, you can help spread the word. I am talking about the lady bug smashers," says Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"I have never seen those, "replies Red Cap. <p><br />
"That might not be their real name, but it is what I call them. <P>
If they run over a lady bug, it's all over but the crying," replies Lady Octavia.<P>

"Not the little humans, silly. That thingamajig they are riding on," replies Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"Oh, yea, I see. I almost overlooked that, looking at the beautiful little people,"says Red Cap,
" you know humans like monkeys, and monkeys like humans. I am not afraid of them" says Red.<p><br />
"Those lady bug smashers could land you in the hospital if they hit you, and <P>
they absolutely send lady bugs to the morgue", replies Lady Octavia.<P>
"You have to be careful around them. I saw them the other day on my way to the Fantasy Forest. "<p><br />

AND affordable. "Why, to think", she thought to herself, "that any guests coming to the picnic from far away can stay here<P>
and be comfortable,and not break their budget." "Mr and Mrs Bear, I am so happy to know about this place.<P>
The Twin Mushrooms pavilion is already scheduled for that day, but I am a bit worried<p>if it should pour down rain<P>
and our guests be in a tizzy. Are reservations required?", she asks.<p></b><br /></span>

Mr. Orange Bear replied, "we take reservations for those who know their itinerary,<P>
but reservations are not required. If you or your guests get in a pickle,<p>
Just call on your way here. We'll make room if we have too. "<p></b></div><div></span>

delivering all those Christmas gifts. We couldn't not invite him, because he lives in our meadow,<P>

She asked , "Swamp Frog, what are you doing here? Why did you leave your swamp?"<p><br />
He answered, "rumor has it that the Lady Bugs are sponsoring a picnic--a big to-do-- sometime soon, and I thought to myself,<P>
'how convenient! The flies will be there in droves and I can slurp them up." <p><br />
Lady Octavia said, "Swamp Frog, you are NOT invited. It is gross to watch you eat flies." <br /><P>

Swamp Frog's big red tongue unfurled and his saliva dripped as he rubbed his chin.<p><br />
"Well", he said," come to think of it, Lady Bugs make a tasty snack". <p><br />

On the news was a report about the NSA rover on Mars and it got her attention. She thought to herself,<P>

She fell asleep in her chair and slept restlessly. The next day, on her cell phone was a text message from Mars! <p>
The land rover texted her from Mars! It was unbelievable but there it was, plain as day. <P>
Lady Octavia was incredulous. "How can this be? How did they know my cell phone number? <p>

On the other hand, she wanted it to be a pleasant picnic, not a downpour of April showers or a last minute blast of winter.<P>
What should she do? " I know", she thought to herself,"I'll call NOAA and they will know the weather. ". <P>
She dialed up the <i>National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency </i>on their 800 number. <p>
"Hello, NOAA! this is Lady Octavia .I need to know if the weather is going to be pleasant for a while <P>

"Lady Octavia, I have been on that list for years. Santa never calls me. I wait and wait--no flight," replies Raymond,<P>
"Santa's crew never calls in sick. Who would and miss the biggest event of the year for children?'<p><br />
"It's an honor anyway, don't you think?" asks Lady Octavia.<p><br />
"I suppose so, answer Raymond, "but very few people know of it. "<p><br />
Lady Octavia Bug said quickly, "I read about it in the local news and I told everyone all about you."<p><br />
Raymond said, "that's very kind of you to try to cheer me up and for inviting me to the picnic.<P>
I almost never get invited anywhere because people think my antlers wouldn't fit into their house, or <br /><P>
that I don't eat people food, or too busy, you know stuff like that. Sometimes I am very sad at Christmas,<P>
feeling useless and unwanted." <p><br />
"Oh, no, dear, you mustn't feel that way. I am sure that you give Santa much peace of mind,<P>
knowing he has a reliable back up plan just in case. Planning for disasters is something all important people <P>
have to do," says Lady Octavia, warmly reassuring. <p><br />

"I am only the alternate reindeer for Santa, you know that don't you?" <p></b><br />
<br />
<b>Ollie replied, " Hey, yourself! You wonderful reindeer that gets to fly over housetops<P>
and make children happy once a year." <p></b><br />
<br />
Raymond said, " Oh, Ollie. I wish with all my heart that is true but so far, I am just the on-call reindeer<P>
in case Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen are out sick.<p>They NEVER call-out sick--never. " <p></b><br />
<br />
<b>Ollie said, "before we get started, I want to get my note tablet to take notes. I know it's old fashioned <P>
but I love to write my notes in my own hand-writing on real paper.<p>
It just makes it more memorable in my mind to do it that way." <p></b><br />
<br />
<b>"Well. sure take your time. The Lady Bugs are setting the table and I think we're early. " said Raymond.<p></b><br />
<br />
<b> Ok, Ollie, was situated so seriously with his paper tablet in his hand and his pen poised.<P>
"Now, Raymond, tell me how Santa selected you?" <p></b><br />
<br />
<b>Raymond said, "well, you know in Lapland where all reindeer live, there is an annual festival<P>
where Santa and his elves appear and they hold reindeer games to see which reindeers are the strongest.<P>
You know reindeers have to be very strong to pull that sleigh loaded with a trillion toys for children everywhere. <P>
But that's not all.Reindeer have to have good eyesight too, and a keen sense of direction. The year I was selected,<P>
I won the second prize for keen sense of direction.<p>
Because I didn't have a perfect score, but did beat everyone except the four reindeer who pull the sleigh,<P>
Santa put me as the "alternate" list which is basically being on-call for Santa to call from midnight on Christmas Eve<P>
to midnight on Christmas Day, a twenty-four period." <p></b><br />
<br />
<b> Ollie asked, "Raymond do you get paid for that?" <p></b><br />
<br />
<b>"What! Are you kidding? It's an honor to be on Santa's list. I don't know if other reindeer get paid <P>
but I wouldn't dream of it, because just think, flying Santa around the world,while he distributes toys <P>
to children is a privilege! I would be thrilled to serve--Santa gives away all his toys he and his elves design and make,<P>
you know. It's not likely he is very rich." exclaimed Raymond.</b><br /><P>
<br />
<b>Ollie said, "Raymond, what if I write this and put it in the newspaper? <P>
Do you think that will help you get to actually fly Santa?" <p></b><br />
<br />
<b> "Well. I don't think it could hurt me in any way. Maybe one of those other reindeer would want a vacation<P>
and see that news and think, <p>"aha, now's the time for that vacation', " said Raymond.<p></b><br />
<br />
<b>"Ok, then, I think if I hurry I can get this in today's news since the picnic is today. <P>
Sorry but I can't stay for the picnic--got to go if I am to meet the deadline for news today,"<P>
shouted Ollie as he was already turned and headed back to the city. <p></b><br /></span>
<br />
Pg. 16<p><b>Ollie's timing was perfect. The Ladies [Bug] called Raymond to lunch.</b><br /><P>
<br />
<b>"Raymond, Raymond! lunch is on the table. Come and eat before it gets cold. Fried chicken, potato salad and chocolate cake for dessert", shouted Lady Octavia.<p></b><br />
<br />
<b><br />
</b><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"
<b>Raymond had to sort of wiggle into the spot saved for him, between Red Cap Monkey and Lady Octavia <P>
because,well, to be polite he was so MUCH bigger than they were. Blue Kanga and her baby and Fuschia Rabbit <P>
and the other Lady Bugs were on the opposite side of the table. Blue Kanga has those enormous legs that <P>
she bounces on along the earth and that have to be tucked under the table too.<P>
The table was set and the food was there and it smelled delicious! <p></b><br /></span>

<b>Lady Octavia said to everyone, "Raymond was interviewed today by Ollie Orange Bear <P>
and it might be in today's paper so please read it when you get home. <P>
Also, we are going to have a blessing on this food.<P>
So, Raymond will you please ask The Lord's blessings on this food? " <p></b><br />
<b>Raymond said, "me, Miss Octavia?" <p></b><br />
<br />
<b>And she said, "sure why not?" <p></b><br />
<br />
<b>So, Raymond swallowed hard and began, " Dear<i> Lord JESUS</i>, we thank you for this wonderful picnic<P>
and all the food so lovingly prepared by the Lady Bugs.And I thank you especially that they invited me <P>
and that I got to tell <i>Ollie Orange Bear</i> about my dreams of helping Santa. <P>
And thank you for these friends gathered here,and bless this food and the hands that prepared it<P>
and use it to the nourishment of our bodies. Amen". <p></b><br />
<br />
<b>"Raymond, that prayer brought tears to my eyes. Nobody ever blessed me before", said Lady Octavia,<P>
then quickly said before everyone got all teary eyed,<p>"let's eat, I'm starved!" <p></b><br />
<br />
<b>And everyone ate and ate and had chocolate cake and went home happy after saying their thank yous. <p></b><br />

This is one of my personal logos that I made with a computer program instead of paint brush or ink pen. It is to make easily visible the many roles I have.

I do not have a boss nor a supervisor nor a husband, nor a business partner. I also have never signed a power of attorney to anyone to represent me in any matter [yet].

"These paragraphs below include the provenance of this art and original story I wrote and illustrated and <P>
I am leaving it on web for that reason. It details the history of this created work. <P>
I, <i>Gloria Poole,RN,artist</i> at my own apt in Missouri on 28 March 2015 at 9:25am.</b> <P>
Updated by me <i>Gloria Poole</i> at my own, private apt in Missouri on 29 March 2015 at 12:08 pm<P>
to add in the content that had been stolen off it. I did what I could do to secure this blog also. <P>
<P>Updated by me <i>Gloria Poole</i> again on 30th March 2015 at 11:08am to change some of the photos of art<P>
I created for better photos of it. Also yesterday 29 March 2015 I added back the missing pages to this story<P>
and the accompanying art that had been stolen off blog by cyber-criminals.<P>
Update by me Gloria Poole,RN, artist on 5 May 2015 at 6: 13pm to say that I corrected the photo of the hostel <P>
and that I have the original art work I created for this blog and the words in paper form also.<P>
Also, I made some changes to the security settings and telephones of this account of mine because<P>
a cyber-criminal at remote had altered the width of the blog so that some letters were cut off;<P>
and I corrected that to full width. I am actively seeking to publish this story that I wrote and<P>
illustrated into a paper book and at some point in time, I may take this off the web to put it into paper book form.<P>
Update by me <i>Gloria Poole</i>, RN, artist [of /in Missouri since Oct 2009], today 23 June 2015 at 10:28am <P>
to amend paragraph about "hostel" art and to write that I added a new phone number to my telephone numbers<P>
in an effort to secure some of my blogs and accounts. I rotated around some of my telephone numbers.<P>
I have not moved from Missouri, and am still single-again, still white, still Southern Baptist Christian woman. <P>

Update on 6th Sept 2015 at 7:14am by me <i>Gloria Poole</i> to notate that I made changes to some of the phones that<P>
I had previously added to this account of necessity because cyber-criminals tried to hijack one of my cell phone account<P>
by using the carrier's server and insider info of my account. I still have the phone but do not know how many of the employees<P>
of the carrier are able to access my info on it. So, I made changes to this account of mine. <P>
Also, regardless of what cyber-criminals say, I do not have a "boss" or "supervisor".<P>
The man who intermittently tries to hijack my accounts is my 2nd exhusband with initials DBP, <P>
who swore he "would track me like an animal and kill me". But he is not getting that chance if I can help it.<P>
Obviously this affects many aspects of my life. I do not continue any sort of relationship with him <>
and have not seen him in person since Jan 2009, in a federal courtroom in Denver , Colorado,
when I was summoned because he owes me a ton of money for injuries he caused me
when he was violating a restraining order against him and deliberately crippled me to prevent me from leaving him.<P>
I did leave him eventualy and am divorced from him [male DBP] since Oct 2007, and there are records of that in Colorado. <P>
I removed his surname of Pappas from my name by Court order in Oct 2007 and resumed my full maiden name.<P>
There were 3 other trauma events with permanent injuries he caused me in those horrile years. <P>
I MOVED to Columbia Missouri on Oct 31, 2009 and into my own apt on Nov 2nd 2009 here in Missouri.<P>
I am keeping this running commentary because it documents the events that have happened in producing this story,<P>
writing it, illustrating it, maintaining it. I still hope to publish this on paper in a book that anybody can buy<P>
at book stores. I am also adding in the "standard" copyright I have put on my other blogs this year. <P>
This portion of this blog after the story ends, is documentation and clarification which is very necessary for many reasons. <p><br /></span> </div>

Updated by me Gloria on 10th Oct 2015 at 3:22pm to add https settings always and a few meta settings,<P>
and to keep on web. I just realized that criminals at remote broke into my blog [this one] and tampered with it AGAIN <P>
to change some of the words to teeny, tiny.<P>
When those cyber-criminals and ID thieves go to federal prison, my life will get lots better. <P>
Meanwhile, I may have to correct this later, since it is going to take a while. <P></span>
<P>
<div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"
Update about 20 minutes later by me Gloria: I think I have corrected the font size everywhere AGAIN, <P>
but I suppose because I copyrighted this story and art at <i>Library of Congress</i> on PAPER,<P>
it put my info into database that bad people also have access too.<P>
It seems virtually impossible to prevent people who have NO authority to login to this account,<P>
from logging into it by cyber-crime. I have 2 step login authorization set for this account;<P>
and all telephones are mine but it doesn't seem to secure it from corrupt people who work for cell phone carriers.<P>
I am not sure what solution is. But I am leaving this online for now. <P></span>

to update this blog slightly and also my cartoon auxiliary site and
to remind all that I have in my possession the art of the story that I created on paper
and then photographed to put on web. For the record the weird formatting is NOT my doing.
Cyber-criminals break into this blog routinely because they are trying to steal the copyright and any future royalties.
I created all content on this blog and when I created this post, the words were uniform size.
It seems to be IMPOSSIBLE to stop the US-governments-former-employees from breaking into my blogs. <P> </span>

Updated by me <i>Gloria Poole</i> on 23rd Oct 2020 at 1:30pm, from my own private apartment in Springfield, Missouri <P>
and extensive corrections necessary as just looking at site was proof it was hacked. It was in disarray.<P>
I have tried to correct the problems, to make it flow as intended, to make it include the entire story,<P>
and to include facts that I live alone in Springfield Missouri private apartment and am divorced since Oct 2007.<P>
I also added in the Google alert to viewers that I am required by EU's <i>General Protection of Data</i> Laws<P>
since I have followers in Europe. <P>
I logged in with 2 step code at 1:30pm and I am still logged in at 4pm trying to make all corrections.<P>
I only hope that somehow by the grace of GOD this story and its art brings giggles to very young children<P>
who are guarantined at home with their folks during the national pandemic. <P>
If you enjoy reading this and seeing the art I created, please write me at <i><b>Ms.Gloria.Poole [at] gmail. com</i></b><P>
or to other gmails,yahoos, or icloud accounts of mine that you can verify in some way. <P>
Today is 23rd Oct 2020 and I am completing this update/correction of hacked content at 4:11pm. /s/ Gloria </b></span>
Updated by me Gloria Poole after retrieving my account from i.d. thieves and after alerting law enforcement. You viewers will notice that most of my cartoon story I wrote and illustrated was ripped off my website by criminal hackers. I am trying to get control of it again and Google , thank goodness found many of my cartoons and much art work and selfies I had created in previous years.

I drew and painted this with watercolor, yesterday 16 March 2015. I also created another frog in the story about the ladybugs who give picnics which is also on this blog. I remember a time I was afraid of frogs because a tiny frog flew through the air and landed on me when I was younger and scared the wits outa me! So now, it's fun to make them cartoon figures. <P>

I have never signed a blanket waiver of my copyrights to art I have created and do not have an artist's rep [agent], nor literary agent to represent me, and never did. I drew, painted, signed, photographed and uploaded all art on this blog and on any blog of mine.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>For the record and to establish provenance of art I have already created also: the art I have created and signed and posted to this blog of mine is part of an on-going series of art I created since year 1991 beginning in Atlanta, GA that "blossomed" in year 2005 in Aurora, Colorado when I lived there for one year [May 2006-May 2007], and art began to really become an integral part of my efforts to save the baby humans from premeditated destruction. In 2005, I began to realize I could use the art to illustrate my talking points in some cases, and to build a secondary "career' for me as artist. In the year 2006 when I had endured and lived to tell about it a violent crash down a flight of stairs and had trauma, fractures, concussion, because my then-husband DBP tried to kill me to 'make it look like an accident" and he tried to twist off my broken leg, I had immobility for months except on crutches and walking boot after surgery to repair fractures and implant metal. As I sat with leg propped up I began to draw daily and paint to occupy the time and my mind. I also began to post art to the web on my blogs and websites, and also photographs I had photographed. I began a series of art then that is named "ethnic series by Gloria" [me] to attempt to draw and paint an art work of every ethnic group tribe, language, culture in the world and I created eight initial oil paintings in the first batch and posted them to the web on domains of mine. I moved from Aurora to zip code 80203 for 2 and 1/2 years and then moved to Missouri on Oct 31, 2009 with the art I had in my possession at that time. I paint some of the sketches I created in do-overs into oils on canvas and those are very visible on the web. I put many of them on my mini exhibit of art at https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com, and also on my Picasa albums at https://picasaweb.google.com/gloriapoole. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b> I, <i>Gloria Poole</i>, am a white, Southern Baptist Christian, brown-haired woman, single-again, twice-divorced,natural mother of only two children who are grown daughters named Jennifer and Leigh, and also a republican, personhood promoter, prolife activist-blogger, photographer, artist in all mediums, poet, author, illustrator, cartoonist, writer, University of Georgia alumna, U S citizen born in the state of Georgia [but I lived in several places including New York, UK briefly, Nebraska, South Carolina, Colorado, Virginia, North Carolina], former TV producer,tweeter, Registered Nurse licensed in Missouri [but before that in Georgia, UK, other states], owner/writer/blogger/photographer/illustrator for <i>words that WORK</i>, and also for <i>Tapestry of LIFE</i>,and also for Life Media & Publishing in years 2004-2011; and a just-for-fun-photographer, and citizen journo . <i>Gloria Poole</i> is my real, born with legal name and I resumed my full maiden name including my surname of <i>Poole</i> legally by Court order at the time of divorce from male DBP in Colorado in Oct, 2007 at Centennial, Colorado; and I also removed the Pappas name from my name forevermore at the time of final decree in Oct 2007 . I was glad to end that four year horrible marriage of multiple trauma and injuries to me caused by male DBP, [which I testified about in Court on several occasions ]. That second divorce is public record in the state of Colorado, and my first divorce is public record in the state of Georgia. I have created art regularly since 1991, and I had formal training in drawing and in mixing colors /paint and painting in oils and I post much of the art I create on blogs of mine. You can see some of that art on one of my name blogs at https://gloriapoole.blogspot.com and see the about me page of that blog for the list of art blogs I own and post art too, that are all different. .</b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;">For the record and to establish provenance of art I have already created also: the art I have created and signed and posted to this blog of mine is part of an on-going series of art I created since year 1991 beginning in Atlanta, GA that "blossomed" in year 2005 in Aurora, Colorado when I lived there for one year [May 2006-May 2007], and art began to really become an integral part of my efforts to save the baby humans from premeditated destruction. In 2005, I began to realize I could use the art to illustrate my talking points in some cases, and to build a secondary "career' for me as artist. In the year 2006 when I had endured and lived to tell about it a violent crash down a flight of stairs and had trauma, fractures, concussion, because my then-husband DBP tried to kill me to 'make it look like an accident" and he tried to twist off my broken leg, I had immobility for months except on crutches and walking boot after surgery to repair fractures and implant metal. As I sat with leg propped up I began to draw daily and paint to occupy the time and my mind. I also began to post art to the web on my blogs and websites, and also photographs I had photographed. I began a series of art then that is named "ethnic series by Gloria" [me] to attempt to draw and paint an art work of every ethnic group tribe, language, culture in the world and I created eight initial oil paintings in the first batch and posted them to the web on domains of mine. I moved from Aurora to zip code 80203 for 2 and 1/2 years and then moved to Missouri on Oct 31, 2009 with the art I had in my possession at that time. I paint some of the sketches I created in do-overs into oils on canvas and those are very visible on the web. I put many of them on my mini exhibit of art at https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com, and also on my Picasa albums at https://picasaweb.google.com/gloriapoole. </span></b></div>

<b>When Ollie Orange Bear arrived at the Twin Mushrooms Raymond Reindeer was there all folded up with those long legs tucked under him and he was was thrilled to be interviewed. "Hey! Ollie. Lady Octavia told me to expect you. I am so excited. I've never been interviewed before. " said Raymond excitedly. Then he went on quickly, " I am only the alternate reindeer for Santa, you know that don't you?" </b><br />
<b> Ollie replied, " Hey, yourself! You wonderful reindeer that gets to fly over housetops and make children happy once a year." </b><br />
<b> Raymond said, " Oh, Ollie. I wish with all my heart that is true but so far, I am just the on-call reindeer in case Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen are out sick. They NEVER call-out sick--never. "</b><br />
<b> Ollie said, "before we get started, I want to get my note tablet to take notes. I know it's old fashioned but I love to write my notes in my own hand-writing on real paper. It just makes it more memorable in my mind to do it that way. "</b><br />
<b> "Well. sure take your time. The Lady Bugs are setting the table and I think we're early. " said Raymond.</b><br />
<b> Ok, Ollie, was situated so seriously with his paper tablet in his hand and his pen poised. "Now, Raymond, tell me how Santa selected you?" </b><br />
<b> Raymond said, "well, you know in Lapland where all reindeer live, there is an annual festival where Santa and his elves appear and they hold reindeer games to see which reindeers are the strongest. You know reindeers have to be very strong to pull that sleigh loaded with a trillion toys for children everywhere. But that's not all. Reindeer have to have good eyesight too, and a keen sense of direction. The year I was selected, I won the second prize for keen sense of direction. Because I didn't have a perfect score, but did beat everyone except the four reindeer who pull the sleigh, Santa put me as the "alternate" list which is basically being on-call for Santa to call from midnight on Christmas Eve to midnight on Christmas Day, a twenty-four period. "</b><br />
<b> Ollie asked, "Raymond do you get paid for that?" </b><br />
<b>"What! Are you kidding? It's an honor to be on Santa's list. I don't know if other reindeer get paid but I wouldn't dream of it, because just think, flying Santa around the world, while he distributes toys to children is a privilege! I would be thrilled to serve--Santa gives away all his toys he and his elves design and make, you know. It's not likely he is very rich. " exclaimed Raymond.</b><br />
<b> Ollie said, "Raymond, what if I write this and put it in the newspaper? Do you think that will help you get to actually fly Santa?" </b><br />
<b> "Well. I don't think it could hurt me in any way. Maybe one of those other reindeer would want a vacation and see that news and think, "aha, now's the time for that vacation', " said Raymond.</b><br />
<b> "Ok, then, I think if I hurry I can get this in today's news since the picnic is today. Sorry but I can't stay for the picnic--got to go if I am to meet the deadline for news today, " shouted Ollie as he was already turned and headed back to the city. </b><br />

<br />
<b>Ollie's timing was perfect. The Ladies [Bug] called Raymond to lunch.</b><br />
<b>"Raymond, Raymond! lunch is on the table. Come and eat before it gets cold. Fried chicken, potato salad and chocolate cake for dessert", shouted Lady Octavia.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Raymond had to sort of wiggle into the spot saved for him, between Red Cap Monkey and Lady Octavia because ,well, to be polite he was so MUCH bigger than they were. Blue Kanga and her baby and Fuschia Rabbit and the other Lady Bugs were on the opposite side of the table. Blue Kanga has those enormous legs that she bounces on along the earth and the had to be tucked under the table too. the table was set and the food was there and it smelled delicious!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Lady Octavia said to everyone, "Raymond was interviewed today by Ollie Orange Bear and it might be in today's paper so please read it when you get home. Also, we are going to have a blessing on this food. So, Raymond will you please ask The Lord's blessings on this food? " </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Raymond said, "me, Miss Octavia?" </b><br />
<b>And she said, "sure why not? "</b><br />
<b>So, Raymond swallowed hard and began, " Dear Lord JESUS, we thank you for this wonderful picnic and all the food so lovingly prepared by the Lady Bugs. And I thank you especially that they invited me , and that I got to tell Ollie Orange Bear about my dreams of helping Santa. And thank you for these friends gathered here, and bless this food and the hands that prepared it and use it to the nourishment of our bodies. Amen".</b><br />
<b> "Raymond, that prayer brought tears to my eyes. Nobody ever blessed me before", said Lady Octavia, then quickly said before everyone got all teary eyed, "let's eat, I'm starved!" </b><br />
<b> And everyone ate and ate and had chocolate cake and went home happy after saying their thank yous. </b><br />
<b>The end. </b><br />
<br />

For parents reading the story of the Lady Bug picnic, resume reading here:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Lady Olivia worried some about what Ollie Orange Bear said and she didn't want people to lose interest in the picnic. On the other hand, she wanted it to be a pleasant picnic, not a downpour of April showers or a last minute blast of winter. What should she do? " I know", she thought to herself, "I'll call NOAA and they will know the weather. ". She dialed up the <i>National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency </i>on their 800 number. "Hello, NOAA! this is Lady Olivia. I need to know if the weather is going to be pleasant for a while or if there's more freeze and ice on the way?" she said. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> The NOAA guy said, "Lady Olivia, I can tell you this much. Right this minute our radar has detected the birds flying back from the South Seas, and they have entered our air space. They should be back into your neighborhood in a few days. ". "Wonderful! That's absolutely wonderful, because if a freeze was on its way, they'd stay in the warm climate in the tropics. And oh, I do love to hear them singing every morning as my wake-up call. Thank you very much, NOAA," said Lady Olivia. The NOAA man said, "Lady Olivia you have made my day. It's lonely sitting sitting here watching this radar screen all day. Call anytime. " </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Lady Olivia said, "why thank you, I might need too again when we Lady Bugs have set a definite day for our picnic. It's a big to-do you know. We have invited Raymond Reindeer who is on Santa's alternate list for Christmas Eve, and Blue Kanga and her toddler. And of course, with a wee one coming to picnic, the weather has to be pleasant. " She hung up, and ran to Ollie Orange Bear's corner of the woods. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"Ollie! Ollie! " she called. Ollie Orange Bear appeared and said, "Miss Olivia, you remembered me!" Lady Olivia said, "well, Ollie, the picnic is not today but it's very soon now, because NOAA says the birds are flying back and will be here any day , "replied Lady Olivia. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Ollie said "Miss Olivia, who's NOAA?" </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> "Silly me, " said Lady Olivia, " NOAA means National Oceanic and atmospheric agency, and they give extended weather reports. He told me he saw the birds approaching because they entered his air space on radar. Isn't that wonderful? That means WARM weather for sure. "</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Ollie said, "and that means P-I-C-N-I-C soon, doesn't it?"</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"yes, indeed. I will let you know when, " replied Lady Olivia, "I've go to go now because we have to ramp up again for the picnic to be as we planned. See you soon." And she left.</span></b><br />
<br />
Stay tuned for the picnic .<br />

<b>The story of the Lady Bug Picnic resumes so if you are reading this to a small child, begin here:</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Lady Octavia looked out her kitchen window, after she got back from telling her friends about the Astronaut photo that appeared on her phone; and lo and behold! Ollie Orange Bear was marching back and forth on the sidewalk near her house under The Big Tree, and he was carrying a white flag with the words "Lady Bug Picnic" written on it and he was waving it around and shouting . She rushed to talk to him. "Ollie Orange Bear, what are you doing? " she asked. </b></div>
<div>
<b>Ollie said, "Miss Octavia, you know my cousins Mr and Mrs Orange Bear?" </b></div>
<div>
<b>"Well, indeed I do. I met them when I visited their Welcome Home hostel to see if it would be adequate if a rain-out occurred for our picnic", replied Lady Octavia. </b></div>
<div>
<b> "Well. Yes. I knew that because they told me. But I am mad because I have been waiting forever for that picnic! I want to be there at the Welcome Home when you have that picnic and sort of wander over to it to see Raymond Reindeer. You know he was in the news and I don't think I will have another chance to meet him. So WHEN IS THAT PICNIC?" he asked practically shouting at her. </b></div>
<div>
<b> "Oh, I see", said Lady Octavia, "well. Ollie, we couldn't have a picnic in the snow! Every time we had it planned it snowed, or had downpour from heaven. It was really discouraging to us Lady Bugs too." </b></div>
<div>
<b>Ollie said, "but Miss Olivia [he was taught to call his elders by their proper title but Lady just sounded too formal since after all, he was protesting her at her own house] , spring has sprung. The snow is gone. So ?". </b></div>
<div>
<b> Lady Octavia laughed and said, "Ollie, you're in luck because it is soon. I will call you personally when we have a few consecutive days of warm , pleasant, dry weather to tell you when to see Raymond Reindeer at the picnic. AND, if you march around with that flag to notify everyone, why, I might even invite you to the picnic. "</b></div>
<div>
<b> Ollie grinned and replied "I am happy, happy, happy, Miss Olivia. Thank you very much. I'm going right now to tell my cousins Mr and Mrs Orange Bear that the picnic is on again. Of course, weather good for picnic is also good for travelers who love my cousins' hostel. Life is good, Miss Olivia. " </b></div>
<div>
<b>And he left. </b></div>

<b>The story of the Lady Bugs sponsoring a picnic continues in a different version than the one in the book I wrote and illustrated. {Aside to parents} This is paragraph is to read to your children: : </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>When Lady Octavia got home to her house under The Big Tree, she kicked back in her favorite chair to watch the news. It had been a stressful day, after all. Swamp Frog made it known he would gobble her up given the chance. And with that news, she had hurried, hurried , hurried so fast she nearly fell over her six feet. On the news was a report about the NSA rover on Mars and it got her attention. She thought to herself, " wonder what Mars is like? " and then she thought, " wonder if the astronauts miss earth?". She fell asleep in her chair and slept restlessly. The next day, on her cell phone was a text message from Mars! The land rover texted her from Mars! It was unbelievable but there it was, plain as day. Lady Octavia was incredulous. "How can this be? How did they know my cell phone number? Can they read minds?" all tumbled through her mind at once. Just then, a photo appeared on her cell phone and it said "from Mars's rover". It was an astronaut! And he had the weirdest eyes she had ever seen on any human. Well, she thought to herself, 'maybe he isn't human? Maybe he's a Martian? " Then that idea just took on a life of its own. A Martian contacted her! She KNEW it--they can read minds! </b><br />
<b>She ran to tell the other Lady Bugs, saying, "they will never believe this. I have to show them. "</b><br />

<b>For the record: I am white, single again [divorced twice], woman with brown hair, Southern Baptist Christian, and the mother of two grown "children" who are daughters named Jennifer and Leigh.

<b>Also, for the record [for purposes of copyright and law enforcement {because several facets of my identity such as state of Georgia issued ID were stolen from me more than once and they were in tangible form}], I am not an employee of anyone, and <i>Gloria Poole</i> is my real, born with, legal name {but I have a middle Christian, given name at birth also that I never write as part of my signature}; and I draw, paint, sketch, photograph, tweet, blog , write from my own private apartment in Missouri, which is NOT shared with anyone. I work for myself in other words from my home studio-office which is a dedicated room for that purpose. I think the criminal who stole my GA ID and my Holy Bible with my name printed on it, cut my photo out of the ID and inserted his accomplice's photo which is how it was used to access bank and credit union accounts of mine that began in Colorado. I lived in Colorado only a few yrs and was married a second time there for only 4 yrs and ten months before final decree of divorce from male DBP there. both divorces of mine are public record--one in Georgia and one in Colorado.

<b> I have NEVER had blond hair even as a tiny child. Both of my daughters were very blond up until college, but their hair is also darker more like mine now. But I know for certain that one of the accomplices of DBP who lives in Colorado dyes her hair a platinum [false looking] blond because she's old and gray- headed if hair not dyed blond. That is a statement of fact relevant to an on-going investigation into who is using my name and identity. I have been reported as blond yet I have NEVER been blond and NEVER dyed my hair. If you see my selfie from 15-March-2014 on about me page, you see the slight grey tendrils at my temples in my brown hair. I reason I earned them! And I'm keeping them. </b><br />

<br />OK, here's the thing. I have sort of a conflict of interest because when I started this online story illustrated with cartoons I drew and the story I wrote, and signed, it was mainly for my own grandson Elijah who was 2 yrs old last year. I decided to share it, online then to put it into a book on paper for him and his sister who was only about 8 months old at the time I began this; because my daughter Leigh wanted it in paper form so she could sit in rocker and read it to them. I have five other grandchildren but their ages at the time were 4, 6, 8, 11, 13 and I thought probably they had outgrown childhood stories . Then it was a success with them and I decided to try to publish it. But I had promised Elijah a book just for him that no one in world would have an exact replica of. So, I have given this some thought. <div>
Elijah's first edition one of a kind is in print form and he has it. I have been trying to think how to honor my promise and preserve the copyrights of words and art I created for me. I think the online story needs to be a bit different to do that. So, I am modifying that book as written on the web from this point going forward so, it will be same to a point then take a different path. So, if you have forgotten where the story left off, scroll back to Dec 6th post in archives and reread it then scroll back to begin here:</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As Lady Octavia left the Twin Mushrooms Pavilion and hostel to head back to her home under the Big Tree, she saw Swamp frog sitting on the cobblestone. She was surprised since he usually didn't frequent public places. She asked , "Swamp frog, what are you doing here? Why did you leave your swamp?" He answered, "rumor has it that the lady bugs are sponsoring a picnic--a big to-do-- sometime soon, and I thought to myself, 'how convenient! The flies will be there in droves and I can slurp them up." Lady Octavia said, "Swamp frog, you are NOT invited. It is gross to watch you eat flies." Swamp frog's big red tongue unfurled and his saliva dripped as he rubbed his chin. "Well", he said," come to think of it, lady bugs make a tasty snack". Lady Octavia panicked, then scurried away as fast as her six legs could take her, back to her house under Big Tree and slammed the door shut and bolted it. "Whew, that was close", she thought to herself. </span></div>

<b>I, <i>Gloria Poole, </i>of Missouri<i> </i> am adding two random cartoons that I created but that have nothing to do with the on-going story of the Lady bugs that give picnics.

<b>I have not abandoned the story of the<u> Lady bugs that give picnics</u>. I had so much to accomplish in February that I have not done it all. I have long periods of down time [from trauma ] and I don't accomplish as much as I would like too, as fast as I would like too. So it's still a work in progress to a degree, though the story and the art of it as a book is done and one copy of it-- the very first one is already published. Now, I have to find a paper book publisher and all that entails, and see how/ if putting it on web conflicts with on paper. That is what is affecting the online story of it. Either way, the story is written and illustrated by me Gloria, as tangible art in book format and will be available hopefully in one form or other soon for public. It has to become a money-making project for me. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>So, these cartoons will hopefully interest the tiny tots who might have read the story up til now and maybe serve as a sort of "intermission" until the rest of the lady bug story is available from me, publicly.</b></div>

<b>This entry is not about the story of the Lady bug Picnic, which is written in full already as a book and hopefully will be in mass production in coming year. This entry is about my goal for this blog, which is encouraging parents of young children to READ to their children so their children learn to love to read, and learn to read, and that reading is a part of every day normal existence. This sketch is one that I, <i>Gloria Poole</i>, drew, then painted in watercolors, then repainted in acrylics to illustrate reading to a small child. I purposely chose a man's image to put into this sketch because men in the U S have had a careless disregard for their children and the children of the nation have suffered from lack of father involvement. Of course, a lot of women who work outside the home, often spend little time with their children also. The nation as a whole is suffering because of it. This blog has a mission. I am illustrating it and writing this entry to confirm what that mission is. The story of the Lady bug picnic is merely a "vehicle" for getting parents and children involved in reading together. The "people" in this sketch are not real people that are known to me. The image of the little girl is totally made up by me with a pencil and paint brush and so is the doll. I saw a similar looking man in an ad and thought he looked about right age to have small child; then altered it some to make it different from ad. </b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Also, this sketch is on another blog of mine, and is included in the body of art I have created and is not only for this blog; and is not one of the illustrations of the book as it currently exist. I have the actual, physical art that I created and put on this blog [and all blogs of mine] and I photographed it myself in most instances. <u>Copyright notice:</u> I, <i>Gloria Poole</i>, or Missouri [but born in state of Georgia in U S] own all rights to this blog and all content of it including word and text, and to the art I create, in any form, with any medium or tool or any surface, for any reason, whether or not I display it publicly anywhere. I also own the copyright to the book I have referenced in this blog, that I wrote, that is process of being mass produced for sale [GOD willing] and is copyrighted to me <i>Gloria Poole</i> of Missouri. I will provide more information on the book once all details are finalized. My plan at this point is to have reproductions /prints of the art I created in the book along with the story that I wrote that includes portions you have read on this blog, plus the rest of the story and accompanying art. </b></div>

<b>This is "Orange Bear couple" that is part of the story of the Lady Bug Picnic. So, this as if turning the page if you are reading this story on web to your children. To continue the story:</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The Twin Mushroom Towers of the Fantasy Forest are where the up-coming Lady Bug Picnic is to take place, and it has a hostel that has a family room for out of town company. Mr and Mrs. Orange Bear are owners of the </b><b>"<i>Welcome Home</i>" hostel. As Lady Octavia Bug approaches to see what it's accommodations look like, and how much it costs, she finds Mr and Mrs Orange Bear sitting on the grassy knoll. "Well, I do declare" says Lady Octavia Bug, " I didn't expect to find such a warm welcome". Mrs. Orange Bear said, " well, we knew you were coming because you texted us, and we wanted to make sure you found us.". Lady Octavia was overjoyed, because the hostel's family suite was spacious, airy, comfortable, peaceful AND affordable. "Why, to think, she thought to herself, " that any guests coming to the picnic from far away can stay here and be comfortable, and not break their budget." </b></div>
<div>
<b> "Mr and Mrs Bear, I am so happy to know about this place. The Twin Mushrooms pavilion is already scheduled for that day, but I am a bit worried if it should pour down rain and our guests be in a tizzy. Are reservations required?", she asks. Mr. Orange Bear replied, "we take reservations for those who know their itinerary, but reservations are not required. If you or your guests get in a pickle, just call on your way here. We'll make room if we have too. " </b></div>
<div>
<b> "Oh, thank you very much, " Lady Octavia beamed as she spoke the words. "Here is my card, if you need to get in touch with me. We have sent invitations to Fuschia Rabbit, Red Cap Monkey, Blue Kangaroo whose name by the way is Mama Kanga and her baby, and well, of course, we did not invite that horrible Giant Chameleon, or Lone Wolf. We cannot let them amongst our people--why it's horrifying to think what would happen! We will run from the Twin Mushroom Pavilion to the safety of your hostel if we get so much as a whiff of them lurking near by. And oh, almost forgot, we Lady Bugs also invited Happy Reindeer who RSVP'd quickly and said he "would be there with his boots on", and we are delighted, because they are so busy this time of year. delivering all those Christmas gifts. We couldn't not invite him, because he lives in our meadow, and we didn't want to hurt his feelings. We Lady Bugs thought he would scoff at the idea, with Christmas only 19 days away, but he sent his photo of his happy dance in his boots, when he got his invitation in the U S mail. </b></div>
<div>
<b> "Now, now, dear" said Mrs Orange Bear, "don't get yourself so worked up. I am sure that the Twin Mushroom Pavilion is quite safe. We do business here on its grounds, 24/ 7. " "But," added Mr, Orange Bear quickly, " we will certainly provide you a safe refuge if those characters should show up at your picnic; not to worry". </b></div>
<div>
<b> Lady Octavia Bug asked, 'would you like me to sign your visitor's book? I would be more than happy to do that. " "Why, yes, that would be great, because it helps us build our reputation too. How kind of you to offer, " replies Mrs. Orange Bear, " follow me to the alcove." And so they walk the short distance to the hostel, and enter the door. There in the cozy alcove is the Visitor's Log Book and Lady Octavia Bug signs her name : </b></div>

<b>"I'll be going now, Perhaps we shall see you soon, but if not, then there will be more opportunities. I invite over night guests for the holidays often and sometimes, they prefer European pleasantries instead of the meadow. I just reassure myself that it is not personal. Some "people" just don't like grass and flowers and sunshine, " said Lady Octavia. And so she leaves the Twin Mushroom pavilion's hostel and waves good-bye to Mr and Mrs. Bear. </b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Since Fuschia Rabbit, Red Cap Monkey, Blue Kangaroo and baby didn't get to the first picnic the Lady Bugs had, and since the giant lizard did, the Lady Bugs decided to schedule another picnic in a safer place than The Meadow. They put their heads together and came up with the idea that probably the Fantasy Forest would appeal more to Red Cap Monkey, Fuschia Rabbit and Blue Kangaroo, so they scheduled the Twin Mushrooms pavilion for the day. Then they hand wrote invitations, because hand-written invitations are waaaaaaaaay better than ordinary typed ones and are more fitting and proper etiquette. So they sent the invitations by U S mail and they put one on the web for those whose addresses they didn't know. They included a set of directions with it instead of a map, even though the invitation said "map included". They reasoned that anyone who couldn't read would probably feel uncomfortable at their picnic anyway, so written instructions were more informative. And they sent along a photo of Fantasy Forest to help them recognize it, just in case some weren't local or had never spent any time in the forest. They even told them whom to R.S.V.P too. R.S.V.P. means respondere vous plait [ unsure of correct spelling] in French which means in English please respond whether or not you plan to attend. They wrote that Lady Octavia Bug could be called if one of the guests got lost on the way to Fantasy Forest. </span></b></span></b></div>

<b>Story for page of Lady bug picnic:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> The blue mama kangaroo with her baby in her pouch is also headed to the Lady bug picnic. Of course, the lady bugs were all excited to hear about the new baby kangaroo, and they sent a special invitation to mama kangaroo and wrote in fine and fancy calligraphy <i>PLEASE bring baby too</i>, fearing mama kanga might leave the wee one home with dad. So, the mama kangaroo was thrilled! After all, she had been cooped up in that house with that new baby for a while now, and having a reason to go somewhere was good news to her. She was bounding along on those gigantic legs of hers, and lo and behold, she saw beside the path dancing flowers! They were holding hands and forming a 'can-can' line and singing happily. Well, she was astonished. But what was even more astonishing was she saw her own wee one give an A-OK signal to the flowers. Well, mama kangaroo just stopped in her tracks to witness her own baby taking notice of the surroundings and responding to it. "This is something to write in my baby book for sure--aw, shucks, why didn't I bring my cell phone with the camera?', she thought to herself. [ next page not posted yet--stay tuned].</b></div>

<b>These four cartoons are some I drew years ago, put up for safe keeping then I found them again when I was photographing my ethnic series of paintings and sketches. I lived in Atlanta, Ga metro & city intermittently for total of 11 yrs. I worked as RN there [yr 1995] but I drew and sketched then as I do now but not as often. I was also born in the state of Georgia, and I am white, single, Christian, woman.</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b> I created this in an effort to teach myself cartooning. They are acrylics on paper. I didn't give them a name at the time. I thought others might get a laugh from them. It's a way of doing something for small children to see online [but also for anyone.].</b><br />

<b>Here are two more cartoons to add to the Lady Bug Picnic story. The elephant is trying to get the attention of the lizard at the picnic and the fuschia rabbit . And the tree frog is just plain lost, up a tree literally. The tree started as a small tropical plant on compost. So the tiny man with binoculars is looking for him, to guide him to the lady bug picnic. But alas! it's a good thing the tree frog can't find his way to the picnic because tree frogs would make the lady bugs <i>the lunch</i>. And the pink star [named after pink star diamond in the news that was gorgeous], fell out of the sky just in time to attend the Lady Bug Picnic. To see Lady bug picnic first sketch scroll through archives on this blog. </b><br />
<div>
<b>These sketches are on my movable drawing board, and obviously the tree frog sketch is intended to be surreal. Both sketches are acrylic paints after drawing them first with pencil.

She's got that sort of turned down lip, because well, she so much wanted the lady bugs to like her and to come to her carrot patch party later on in the year.</b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><b>This is the cartoon I created in 2012 for the letter H to create a one of a kind alphabet book for my two youngest grandchildren who were one and four at the time. I also created another cartoon, photographed it with my iPhone, emailed it to myself four times from my iPhone and it was stolen in transit four times by criminals who broke into my iPhone. You can and should read more about that on my blog post for today at: gloriapoole.blogspot.com. So, I have to use a different method to photograph my art I create since cyber-criminals break into my iPhone regularly.

<b>This is another cartoon I created a few days ago, and named it "Time to unwind" . Years ago, I had a desk job reviewing medical records, and it was very exhausting to me to sit for hours at the time.; but it was the most intensive learning time of that professional life of mine. So, I created this cartoon as a reminder to all people who have desk jobs to get up, walk about intermittently, for your health's sake. This is acrylics on paper 14 x 17. </b></div>

<b>Hope you like this. But in reality, I create art just for fun most of the time. IF it ever makes any money for me, that would be great too.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">This sketch is one I created yesterday when I was thinking about the childhood song "Lady bug picnic" . The lizard happens upon the lady bugs setting out their tea party picnic, and screeches to a halt. The lizard scares the sea gull and it takes flight, and the lady bugs freeze in their tracks [because lizards eat lady bugs] . I created this specifically for my 2 yr old grandson [Elijah] and my other grandchildren various ages but minors also, but he would like it the most. I am adding it here to share it, but please do not copy it. It is acrylic paint on paper size 14x17 .</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Generally speaking the art I create most is realistic and in the fine art category. I cartoon occasionally and I created about 30-40 cartoons for an alphabet book for my grandchildren Elijah and Galatea. I also created my very first sketch in a genre called <i>poster art</i> just yesterday and added it to my blog at: http://artist-gloriapoole.blogspot.com. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"> I have several user ID's but my real name is <i>Gloria Poole</i> and I was born in GA and am a white, single, Christian, prolife Registered Nurse, artist, poet, writer, blogger, photographer and I work for myself trying to build up artist's reputation enough to sell art at some point in time. Part of the reason why I have so many is because since yr 2007 many of my emails were stolen often and I would have to create a different one. Now, some of those have returned to me so I keep them. And also to "capture" the use of my real born name as much as possible. </span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Also, one more thing. The title of this blog in script is computer generated. It is not my actual handwriting though I do handwrite often. I just liked it as a title form. Also, because I want this site to be interesting to very young children just learning the alphabet I am making larger, bolder letters for them, because if font is too small and they don't know their letters very well, it is confusing to them. </span></b></div>
