I wasn’t going to voice my opinion on this but I see more and more people on my Facebook Feed about Thanksgiving and having to work. First let me state NONE of my friends, family or their families are “excited” to have to go to work tomorrow. They would rather be stuffing their face with … Continue reading

50 Years…
One thing I don’t really discuss is my fascination of history and pivotal events of history. I decided today to write about one of the most controversial topics in our nation’s history because it is absolutely fascinating to me and it has been 50 years since Walter Cronkite announced President Kennedy’s Death to a devastated … Continue reading
What Have I Been Doing…
Obviously not blogging. In my defense I did bruise the bone in my wrist making doing anything, including typing hurt quite bad. I also decided to use my magical powers (okay not really magic) and get rid of Vista off the laptop. Much to my surprise installing Windows 7 was far easier than I had … Continue reading
Seven Days of Nothing
Most people would love not being able to do anything (write, paint, type, clean, etc.) for seven days I however do not. The pain in the arm has been quite sufficient and if it hasn’t hurt it was because of the painkillers. I have been beyond bored and also got into the Halloween Candy and … Continue reading

Last week was the last week of First Grade for my daughter and we had our first Tropical Storm of the season, which equals a crazy busy week. I also opened a Society 6 shop to order prints of some of my paintings and drawings – check it out here. The Rusty Blue Car … Continue reading
Taking Some Time Off
I know it seems recently I have been been doing that quite a bit but I need more time. I am thinking only Wordless Wednesdays for the time – I managed to fix the WordPress App. on my phone, Booga did something to it and I had to uninstall it and reinstall it. I have … Continue reading
Saving the Arts in My Hometown
My hometown (Escanaba, MI) schoolboard voted last night to “integrate” the K-3 art program into the classroom. They also voted to eliminate several positions in the district. My K-3 grade art education was far from spectacular but it made me strive for more, I wanted to learn because I enjoyed painting during art class in … Continue reading
