Not a lot to write about. Sorry to hear Quirkytizzy's tooth issues. That sucks. I cant imagine what life was like before modern dentistry.

Went to the BIL's house today for an okay if very non traditional Easter. When we were told that we could bring sides for hamburgers… well, I knew it wasn't going to be the usual fair, or maybe it was the usual ( Read more... )

Fourth college tour today. U Mass Dartmouth. First impression. BIG. They have a HUGE campus. 700 acres I think the guy said. (it just occurred to me that my icon for Himself is the fish he drew when he was little. Maybe time to update that. lol). Anyway, yeah, big. If you go on line you can find it and see it's a big ring of building ringed with ( Read more... )

I finished a painting today and started another. I hope to get this second one done pretty quickly, because I'd like to enter it in to the art show too. We'll see. The one I finished is from a photo that a FB friend and and artist posted of her daughter. I'm not sure how she will feel about me using it for inspiration. Some things just strike me, ( Read more... )

I'd like to say I enjoyed the last day perhaps of 80+ degree weather, but really it was just too sticky for my liking I should have put out laundry though. Oh well, hopefully the weekend, while cooler, will be sunny ( Read more... )

I went to the cemetery today to do the raking I wanted to do yesterday before the funeral but didn't get time for. My rock garden was stuffed with leaves, and I need to get them out and off the plants before they really kick into high gear. When I'll ever get back to picking up the piles I'll never know, as we already have two funerals for this ( Read more... )

Sunday my MIL took us (her grandkids and I) on an adventure to Newport RI. We had a fun time. On the way down we stopped at the Newport Creamery and got a nice inexpensive meal. The kids got Awful Awfuls, which are basically Frapes. Then we got to down town Newport, a tourist trap of grand proportions. Reminded me of Rockport. As their birthday ( Read more... )

Last nights blizzard added up to almost 2 inches, and then turned to rain. I was bound and determined to make a snow man, which I did. It was a rainy day most of the day. I changed the oil in the JD mower, and that was about it. Went to lunch to try to meet up with one of my fathers old pals, but he didn't show, however two others did. A sweet old ( Read more... )

I actually have the TV on tonight. And now I'm depressed about CCD, Colony Collapse Disorder. Leave it to Nature to bring us the depressing truth. I get that way about my National Geographic these days. So little good news out there in that natural world ( Read more... )

What a horrible day for Japan. And now they have more than one nuclear reactor that's overheating. Which sadly is another reason why Nuclear power isn't going to go over great in this country. One accident is all it takes ( Read more... )

Ryther is sick, Himself is sick. He was sick last weekend and it seems to be coming back ( Read more... )
