I think lethargy is my word of the week. Wednesday morning I got the long-awaited implant to replace a pulled molar. It isn't fun, but not that bad. But it takes time to heal. (and months until I can get the crown to make like a tooth there). Add that to heat and humidity and I just don't feel...

This is a visual delight and the rats themselves are so charming. Wonderful way to do 10 photos and enchant us all.

Gulls are fascinating and can be numerous allowing plenty of opportunity to get to know them. Credits: -background, G paper: Memories of summer, Papers by Florju Designs -doodle, paint, overlay, spats: Bold and Beautiful, Elements by emeto designs -twig: Summer Day by natali designs...

Happy Birthday, Vera! Hope it's super.

The lilies seem to be blooming especially well this year. Some of these are ours, some on the next block, but the red ones are at the senior center. Credits: -quick page: Still Life Collections, 10 + 15 +25 Quick Pages Pack by Joanee Brisebois -frame: Sketchbook, Instant Photos + Doodles by...

Chris, as far as I'm concerned, you can have the heat, please take it. It isn't even that hot here yet but so humid that I feel it. After two perfect days, Sunday and last Tuesday, I'm missing them. In a bit I'm off across town to the monthly board meeting for the computer genealogy group. The...

Wow, I'm impressed! Taking a Gothic letter and making it beautiful for a luau is incredible And it is a beauty.

It's a gorgeous morning, sunny, breezy and not too hot. We'll be off to the luncheon soon. I'm wearing new, smaller clothes and feeling good. Hope it all goes off without a hitch, including my part of lighting three candles while another lady reads about them. Chris, of course you survived...

Yesterday was another hot, sunny day until evening when we had thunder storms come through with more rain we didn't really need. More storms overnight too. We're back to sunny and breezing now but storms will probably pop up. We had a nice class Thursday and I've got two new posts on the blog...

My studio was unbearably hot yesterday and I'm planning to get my things up there ready for class this afternoon before I take a shower! Downstairs is OK and I hope it stays that way but rain or storms are possible in all the coming days. Right now the sunshine is beautiful and it feels lovely...

Yesterday was stunningly gorgeous with sun, blue sky, low humidity, a nice breeze and warm. Today it might be getting warmer than I like, but so far OK. Yesterday afternoon I met a friend at a library between the places we live to help her with computer technical stuff with an article she's...

Can it already be your birthday? Hope you have a great day! :drum: :bday

I'm impressed with the large mountains doodle and all the rest for this wonderful page for the lyrics.

The Hum & Strum group at the senior center plays this song, but since they range in age from 60 into their 80s, they sing it as When I'm Ninety-four. And we do still make/give greetings, etc. Credits: all by Joanne Brisebois -background, star overlay: Arts & Crafts, Paper Clips...
