It's Valentine's day, sunny and 57 degrees outside. Feels like a heat wave compared to the last few weeks. It did seem odd that Friday 13th fell the day before. I guess if you survived all the black cats

A Blustery Hello to Ya ! I say that because here, it is an extremely blustery day. Two weeks ago we had a sleet storm. It put down several inches of ice. Because it was extremely cold at the time, there

Hello! What you been up too since I was here last week? What do you mean that is NOMB???? LOL....well, you don't have to tell all the sordid parts of what you've been up too, just the publically acceptable

Yesterday was my birthday. I'm a full 69 years old now. What??? It's kind of surreal. I have never been focused on my age. It has not mattered to me for anyone to know my age along the way. I found the

Happy Day After ! Are you recovering from all of yesterday's fun today? I don't feel I need recovery myself, but I feel like I am more like basking in the afterglow. So much build up, so much preparation,

It's not all about art or Christmas.... this time. 😄 Just a hodge podge of things on this last-minute-taken day off. Our department at work caught up our work and they have had a hard time figuring out

Hello! Now one holiday has passed and it is time to gear up for the next! I love the holiday season. Thanksgiving was day before yesterday. Since my Mom is 92, this is the second year we have not all gathered

I'm back! I can't believe it's been two weeks since I posted last. The time is flying so fast this fall. Summer was slow till August and then..... ZIP-A-Dee-Doo-Dah!.... the months since then flashed quickly

Oh Look! I'm back again.... 😂 Let's see what I have in my bag of tricks this time. Hope everyone survived Halloween safely. I stayed home like I said I was going too and everything went nicely. ha ....I

Happy Halloween! These days, I don't do anything for Halloween. Who knew when I was a child that one day I'd be old enough not to do anything? I grew up in the good times. We lived in a safe neighborhood,

When I was growing up, my Mom was (and still is) a great cook and baker, so we definitely knew good food. Once in a while in winter, we'd have a quick treat instead of a baked dessert or pre-made bought

I almost named my post "Master Pieces And Bought Art" all in humor of course, but then I thought, well, I AM mastering something, I'm mastering FUN! I have a whole list of ideas for art to try.

Hello! How's it going? For me, at least for this moment, it's going fine. It's Saturday morning, I have the whole day with no particular plan except to randomly do a few light chores and in between, whatever

Hello ! Did you think I died or something?? Well, not yet. I did have a horrible toothache that hurt very bad though. I have never had a toothache before, not a real one that is. Root canal and cap next

Hello! It is a little past 1 pm as I type this, but it seems like it is early morning as it has been overcast since I got out of bed. In one manner it feels calm and as if life is going slow, but in fact

Hello! It's Labor Day here in the USA which is a holiday for some reason. LOL !! I know the reason it says it is celebrated and that is no little thing exactly, but how it became a paid holiday, I'm not

After I put my title up, I thought, hmmmm... maybe I should have included an art piece that had an alien in it, but I haven't made one yet, so maybe next time. 😂 Then I thought, well, maybe some of my

Hi! In 2022 I purchased this piece of art painted by Laurie Sucharda that I found on the DPW (Daily Paint Works) site. This site is unlike Etsy or Ebay in that it is only art from real artists and the

This morning I slept in because I could. When I did get up, I decided I would take a shower and wash my hair and get that out of the way. I don't wash my hair as often now that I'm older, because age makes

Wassily Kandinsky came for a short visit last night. There I was at my art table minding my own business when "POOF!" he was here. We talked for a few minutes as I tried to see what had brought
