Bound and Determined

I'm going to learn to do watercolor portraits if it kills me (and it just might, lol!)

Throwback Thusrday

The next page in the Innocents at Home and Abroad scrapbook. 

I need to keep them in chronological order for them to make sense of his time in the service even if I have no idea who most of the people are, lol!

I’m So Excited……

And I just can’t hide it!

We’re getting our very own Waffle House! Right here in River City!!!!

No more driving all the way over to the interstate for scrambled eggs and waffles!!!!

I don’t care what anybody says, there’s nothing better than a good ‘ole greasy southern breakfast! 

I know, I’m easily amused…..LOL

Punny Monday

Why do ghosts make bad liars? Because you can see right through them! 

He's the BEST

Husband noticed since I bought my table top easel (50% off all easels at Michael's in case you want one) I was a bit crowded on my workbench. 

So he put up shelves for me! 

He's the best!!! 

And because I know you want a closer look at what's on my new easel.....

A page in what has become my 'I don't really care how it turns out' journal. 

It started out with splotches of bright inks but I didn't like where it was going so I gessoed over it and used one of the blind contour faces I drew as an exercise in the Yellow class. 

Then just played around with my Inktense blocks in a sort of 'dry brush' technique. 

I wasn't sure if I liked the outcome but she has grown on me! 

Liar, Liar Pants on Fire!

My whole life my father told me he was multilingual! He claimed he spoke Latin, French, Italian, German as well as English and a ‘smattering’ of other languages that helped him negotiate his way around Europe during the war.  

Now I find THIS!

In his OWN HANDWRITING!

If he were still alive I would SO call him out on this!!!!!  

LIAR, LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!

This was a little newspaper he and some of his buddies put out for their unit.

Taking Another Tack

Remember that ONE pound I’ve lost since starting this walking regime (THREE MONTHS AGO)? Well, I must have lost it in my ankles because the strap on my ‘shackle of shame’ now fits (barely) around my ankle!  

I’ve decided to wear it on my ankle because:

1. I can’t keep looking at my progress every five minutes.

2. We have hit the summer months here in the sub tropics and when I have a hot flash the rubber strap annoys the living daylights out of me when it's on my wrist!

and 

3. This will eliminate the grocery cart conundrum.

We’ll see how it goes…….
