Brain Storm Library and Easter projects and Tarot Cards



WOW! I woke up this morning with an amazing idea!!






I live in a county in NW Rural Missouri without a Library. It is the only thing that I do not like about where I live. I love the people, the country life, the quiet, the lack of crime, the cost of living, the Rural Reporter, but I have to drive 20-30 minutes to another county for a library.
I LOVE LIBRARIES! Free knowledge!!!!!!! - In the past year, I learned knitting and we gathered all kinds of knowledge about incorporating - Star Noir Investments Inc - That is us. We do real estate investments.


But....We own 4 acres on the Southwest side of Kansas City Near Powell Gardens. A wonderful place! http://www.powellgardens.org/

Trolley: Resumes weekend service in April.
I want to trade this land (details to be worked out) with someone with 2 acres here. Then I want to donate the land for a library. With a Plaque Saying something like, "Land donated by Lori and Gene Barringer (Star Noir...), Cindy Elliot Weers (a local realtor and community leader who I rely on to give me advice on how to make this happen) , Current Owner's choice --to the community of ...."
Would that not be the coolest thing ever?
Or Sell the land and use the money to get two acres but that would be more time intensive.

I found a neat Easter Knitting project on the knit-list at Yahoo Groups. Here is the link to the blogger who developed Vicki’s Bunny Egg Cover at Simple Knits http://simpleknits.blogspot.com/2007/03/vickis-bunny-egg-cover-size-7-double.html
I have permission to post an image from her blog - These are too cute! I will post what I make, as usual.


Here are two tarot card versions of my test results - Fantastical and Cat people style - Is it me? Not sure...












You are The High Priestess









Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.









The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

This is the result of My Wonder Genius DH's test - Is it him?
















You are The Magician








Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.








Eloquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.








The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.








What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

















OK - genius not cunning, Not snake oil - He is the poster person for integrity. Yes ->Creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. - Yes this is him.



You ARE clever, witty, inventive and persuasive, IMHO.
