Ship Full o' Pirates

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feedI’m taking the day “off” today to do some long neglected and way overdue ORGANIZATIONAL stuff.  I like being organized but why does getting organized have to hurt so  much?

Funny, I knew it had been a while since I had gotten out my pencils and actually made any effort in my drawing book.  I didn’t think it had been 2 years! The 4 above I drew when John was in the hospital 5 years ago.  I drew more but most of them went on [...]

If I don’t have much to say this week it’s because I’m busy learning my new phone. Well, that, and catching up on the laundry.

Her name is Magnum.  Maggie to family and friends.  Magnum when strangers are about. The pound (Animal Care Services of San Antonio) had her listed as a 2 year old German Shepherd.  I haven’t taken her to my vet yet, so we are content to go with that age estimate for now.  Her breed is [...]

Just for fun, use your Eeyore voice to read this post, and heave a big sigh at each period, k? Kim’s having a giveaway.  You won’t be interested in it. I’m pretty sure that I’m the only one who would even want such a gadget.  You probably don’t want to visit the site, or comment [...]
