Well, it's been awhile since I have posted anything. I had a cold and then I have had some health issues. I have Tourettes and it has reared its ugly head lately which makes it hard to keep up with things. I don't have it to the point that I have vocal tics, I mean when I cuss, I do it on purpose, LOL. But it does wear me out and its about all I can do to keep up with my full time job and the house. Well enough about that.
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about something that is near and dear to my heart lately and that is animal rescue. I used to foster animals for the Humane Society but unfortunately with a disabled husband and a full time job and 7 dogs, 6 cats and 3 birds that is not too easy for me to do right now. I have been doing some praying and I feel that the easiest thing for me to do right now is to take a page from Michelle May's book of the Raspberry Rabbits and combine my loves and do animal drawings and donate part of the proceeds to animal rescue. I have to get my bearings and figure out what I am going to charge and how to go about advertising for this and such, but for now if anyone is interested please let me know. I draw pictures from a good photograph and I can draw more than one animal in one picture from more than one photo.
Well, just wanted to get back with everyone. I will keep you informed.

A CRAFTY POST
Well, finally a craft post. I am an artist and crafter and I finally finished a Christmas gift that I started before Christmas, but did not finish in time, but will be a Birthday gift for my niece in January. She loves penguins and she can use them this next Christmas. I guess you could say I'm early for this year. HA HA!
Kinda looks like a new singing group!

SUPERBOWL COMMERCIALS
Well, Superbowl is coming up and the Superbowl is known for expensive flashy commercials and that is what a lot of people watch for, besides the football. But when we visit our friends, Billy and Florence, to watch the Superbowl, I go to see Billy's reaction to the commercials.
Now, let me tell you a little bit about Billy. He and my husband have been friends since high school. He's the kind of friend who is there for you no matter what. He is a laid back, good ole contry boy, but by no means is he dumb. He has a sharp wit and is funny without even trying. They live out in the contry and the closet neighbor is about a couple of city block lengths down the street.
During half-time last year, the "Black Eyed Peas," a singing group, in case you didn't know, were the entertainment. Billy had never heard of them before. They came out in futuristic, wild-looking outfits. Billy, in his casual southen drawl said, "they ain't from around here."
Later on there was a commercial for some beer, the name was "Stella Artois." It looked like it was in a club and there was this guy singing a slow song, kind of romantic sounding and with a French accent. All the women were entranced with him and had tears coming down their faces. After the commercial ended, Billy sat there for a few seconds and then said, "must be some good beer, all the women are crying."
Well, just a few more weeks and we get to visit with Billy and Florence again and I am sure we will have more stories of Billy's "observations."
Stay Tuned....

A Run Around the Block
We have 7 dogs. The reason we have 7 dogs is: 1) We love animals. 2) We used to foster for the Humane Society and we ended up keeping the dogs that had trouble finding a forever home.
One dog we have is Runt. Runt is part lab, don't know what the other part or parts are. We have a fenced in yard but when given the chance they will make a break for it out the front door to freedom. Runt will run down the steps and stand at the end of the driveway and look back as if to say, "Come on, let's go." He has a game that we play, he runs around the block and we chase him in the car. He will look back every once in awhile to make sure that we are still behind him.
Here he is waiting at the end of the driveway for his "Run."
I'm still waiting...
And we're off...
C'mon Mom, keep up with me.
We're almost home.
OK, I'm done, ready to take a nap.
