When will the rain stop? Less then five days ago, my driveway and the road in front of my house were covered with ice and snow. We were in the middle of an ice storm. The driveway just became more driveway and less ice yesterday after 25 to 35 pounds of salt and two blisters… Continue reading Rainy Days and Wednesdays?
Let me start by saying, if I had to vote right now for one of the four GOP candidates still in the process, I would vote for Mike Huckabee. That being said, I think he needs to get out of the race. Number one, Huckabee doesn’t have the deep pockets that are going to be… Continue reading Scary Prospects
Usually when you hear the words “morning after,” you think hangover. I guess that is what US politics has after a day like yesterday. Super Tuesday was – in the eyes of those in charge – suppose to help both parties but mostly the democratic party know definitively who the nominee was going to be. … Continue reading The Morning After

I want to know if there is a number to call or a web site to go to to get my name off the auto callers that political candidates use. Three times yesterday this Virginia area code came up on my caller ID. Three times, I told the kids to let it go to the… Continue reading Politics is getting to me
You all know that making resolutions doesn’t normally last. I know this to be true but I like to try to check in each month with how I am doing on my aspirations. I have been creating new items but have not yet submitted anything for publication. I am well on my way to The… Continue reading A Look at January
One of my favorite Yahoo! groups is The Latest Trends in Mixed Media Arts. This month there is an art doll challenge. I sat down yesterday, in the midst of the Super Bowl madness, and designed two dolls. One is done and the other is drying still. The challenge goes like this – Create an… Continue reading Art Doll Challenge
The big question around my house was not who was going to win the replay of the NY football Giants – how many years has it been since there was anything but a football Giants in NY? – and the New England Patriots. It was what were the commercials going to be like. While the game… Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday
