∞ Sunday, Love and I went up to Mom’s house to have a family lunch as a combination Mother’s Day/My birthday. My sister, her husband, my Nanny and my Aunt were all there too. Since my birthday is on a Thursday (the 16th) and we were all getting together the Sunday before my birthday for Mother’s [...]

∞ Here we are and it’s already March. And I realize my intentions to actually sit down and write out a blog entry in my oh-so-neglected blog last month not only never came to pass, but I didn’t even come close. Handful of photo posts….and that’s about it. Sheesh. Just seems like I’ve been so busy [...]

∞ First off, Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! Hope you’ve had a nice day, hopefully with good food and friends/family. My day was one of those good and bad sorta things. Good Thing Love got up early this morning and did the 5k Turkey Trot. It’s a huge race they do in Clearwater (like 15,000 [...]

∞ Yesterday, I carved a foam (fake) pumpkin. It was the first I’d made since Rand died and we accidentally lost the dozen or so pumpkins that we had saved over the years. And unlike the one I made for Mom, this one, I used one of the fancy patterns. Tonight, I think I’m going to [...]

∞ Thursday, I went up to Mom’s house and carved a pumpkin for her. She has rheumatoid arthritis in her hands so she can’t do the carving anymore. It’s been awhile since I’ve carved a real one – I used to carve the foam ones with Love and Rand in the past a lot so we [...]

Has it really been a week since I wrote an entry? Sheesh. Here’s a quick recap. Saturday, we went over to Disney for a few hours to catch an extremely early “Dress Rehearsal” of New Fantasyland. See, they’ve been building a new expansion to the park for years now. It’s the largest expansion ever in [...]

Friday was Nanny’s 96th Birthday so we went up to see her. Presents, cards and took her out to lunch. Saturday I worked on some orders including a couple custom pieces. Check out my custom full moon listing for how to get one made to your specifications and preferences! Sunday we went over to Magic [...]

∞ Happy Birthday to my Nanny! She’s a whopping 96 years old today. My Mom, Sister and I are heading up to see her this afternoon. (Which is why I’m scheduling this ahead of time; I won’t be home to post it later.) Nanny is my maternal grandmother but has never gone by “grandma” or anything; [...]
…but I’m chatty, so here’s pictures AND words. Mom’s birthday was last Wednesday the 8th, and we were going to get together at my sister’s on Saturday for a birthday party but Mom wasn’t feeling well, so we did it on Sunday instead. My sister had some technical problems with the grill (i.e. it didn’t [...]

∞ That sounds dirty and suggestive. Oh well, WordPress has already named the permalink so I’m sticking with it. (Yes I know there’s an edit button. Don’t bring logic into this.) It’s not meant to be a dirty or suggestive title at all actually. I was just sitting, staring at the empty entry title field and [...]
