Your Name in Japanese
Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes for my Dad. His surgery had no complications, my mom wishes he would take his pain meds and sleep some, but other than that he is doing Great!! Mom is sure its all the prayers! Let’s hope this is his last surgery for a while! Please keep my mother in your thoughts and prayers, Dad without pain meds is a lot to handle. He wants to give her blow by blow directions on how to make soup from a can and pudding from the box. She has only been...

I love Christmas and this is a great twist on the traditional. In my part of the world we are still running around in shorts and I mowed a pretty green lawn today, so believe me, this kit both fits in and is refreshing with all its standout brights. So cheerful! Its got Sprinkles!!! Whoo HOO! Here are the papers… And there is an alpha too! Sometimes when kids cry its so pitiful its cute, KWIM? I grabbed this one from everystock.com. I am letting this little guy remind me not to get...
Read MoreGruntled.
I got an email this morning that included the word “Disgruntled” and it reminded me of something my dad said over dinner one night when I was still unable to touch floor with my feet. Bill Goodman: If a person can be disgruntled ( grouchy, testy, sullen, grumpy, dissatisfied) it must mean at some point they were gruntled. ( the opposite of disgruntled) If that is true why do we never hear about, Gruntled Workers?, Gruntled Housewives?, Gruntled Teenagers? I , Bill Goodman, from...
Read MoreI Was Golf-Napped!
On Friday I laid out my weekend…it was to be a working weekend. So much to catch up on in the yard now that it stopped raining and the sun had dried things up. There were plants to get ready for winter, grass to cut, pictures to take of the last blooms, the garden set up now so I can remember it in the dead of winter, you know the drill. Fall is busy for everyone. Inside I was working on a few kits, and some scripts for PSP. I was going to catch up! Too good to be true, I should...

Its glorious here after weeks of rain and “Transylvanian Skies” The bees are buzzing, the butterflies are all over our gardens. Just a quick walk outside and the butterflies ( are the Monarchs migrating or something? They are everywhere) are all over each of us. Its tons of fun once again to walk the yard. We are no longer cave dwellers!! We are getting some frosties at night, so we raided the melon patch to see if we could save any…we found this monster. Hold it, camera trying to decide...
Read MoreThe Devine Miss M
As some of you know, we are dog rescue people. For those who do not know what that means. Its about phone calls in the middle of the night to save Great Danes that skewered themselves on fences, were left on the side of the road, or found on an abandoned house with 4 feet of water rushing in. It also means waiting in grocery parking lots for soon to be non-owners who are dropping their dog off on the commute to work or before a big vacation. It means scraping for money, expecting a vet is...
Read MoreAttack of the Giant Candy
Howdy All! Switching over from freebie designer to for pay designer means ALOT of schooling. I have learned so much about the difference. There is some big things to know. First I guess I would say, if your planning on making the switch organize your files. I have all my designer goodies grouped by type, but I didn’t always specify when I made a folder if it was Commercial Use OK ( can I use it to make something from it to sell?) or Commercial Use for Commercial Use. ( can I use it to...
Read MoreLawn Mowing, Slaps & Giggles
The first house I rented all by myself had a tiny little L-shaped lawn with a giant Magnolia Tree in the front and a sad little Crepe Myrtle at the side. I was new in town, from Arizona where grass only grows if you bring in sod, water it constantly and mow it once a month or so. Well, I was in for a treat! It grew so long in the Mid-West it needed cutting once a week. I didn’t know better being equally young, stupid and a desert-rat so I hired the cutest couple of college guys to come...
Read MoreJodiann here.
Welcome to life without the instruction book, cooking without looking at the recipe, and straight up NERD worship. I married one, I birthed two and happily call myself one. My heroes have always been nerdests...Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Nikola Tesla, Winston Churchill, and foremost my Dad. Come Ride The Arrow with me awhile.
