The Severed Hand Dream
In my dream last night, I was visiting at my parent’s home. My three siblings were there, but no spouses or kids. We were in the family room enjoying a discussion when I decided to walk into the mud bathroom. Remember this is a dream. To the right of the sink were two hands (a [...]
Another Great Weekend
Steamroller Prints and Farm Day all in the same weekend. Yes, that’s a steamroller being used to make prints. This is my linoleum block inked and ready to be printed. You got it. You put your print on the ground, cover it with paper followed by a felt blanket, and run it over a few [...]
I Never Got My Summer Feet
Tomorrow marks the official end of summer in our home because school starts. I am now the proud mother of a high school junior, high school freshman, and junior high 7th grader. All 3 kids will be exiting the back door to walk half a block to enter their respective schools. I will be donning [...]
There’s No Place Like Home
Yesterday we packed up the kids, lawn chairs, cooler, and explosives to drive to my hometown of St. Somewhere, Ohio to visit with my parents, siblings, aunt, nieces, nephews, and cousins for 4th of July festivities. I simply forgot how growing up in a small town has its benefits if you’re young and you like [...]

A green thumb is not required. They will grow in any climate, and mature in 3-7 days. They will grow anytime of the year without the need of [...]
Yep, I saved the umbilical cords…
I was catching up on Dave’s blog over at The 100 Thing Challenge. On Facebook a suggestion was made to make a change for a solid month. Something big. No TV. No plastic. Get rid of 10 things everyday. I’m going to come up with something, but I’m sure Dave doesn’t think I can. I [...]
My Kids Are Driving Me Nuts
It’s Thursday of our annual spring break. No plans. Nothing accomplished. Many things have been started, but nothing finished. #1 decided to paint her neon orange bedroom white. #2 decided to paint an assortment of frames neon orange. #3 has cleaned his room, read a non-fiction AR book, and showered so he could purchase Garry’s [...]
Coupon for Charity
View of the back of my car this morning. In yesterday’s Sunday newspaper I saw that our area Ronald McDonald house is requesting items for donation. In addition to food items, they are in need of cleaning supplies. I have stockpiled more cleaning supplies than I can possibly use in this lifetime. I’ve been clipping [...]
What is a Douche Bag?
We were all in the car the other evening. Kevin was driving. I was in the passenger seat, and all 3 kids were in the back. Out of the blue Eddie, the 12-year-old asked, “What is a douche bag?” The girls began to snicker. Kevin’s jaw dropped with a silent giggle almost driving off the [...]
