So, the kids are officially on summer vacation. They’ve ALREADY started talk about things we should do, buy and partake in to ensure they’re properly entertained this Summer … Oy Vay! This started right after I asked them to remove the 80 pounds of back-packs and school papers from my counters, couches and stairs. At …
Spent the afternoon putting together a ‘lil scrapbook … all dye-sub style. We have yet another Doc leaving us, and I needed to let her know she’ll be missed greatly! Yesterday I was cruising along pretty well with putting together my mosaic load … a couple of rose plates: And an iridescent patriotic night light …
I slept 15 hours. Hmm – I must have needed it! WWU: Summer busy, without the pretty weather. Nothing major, just lots of volume, and a little full-moon-crazy thrown in for fun. But – I did discover ‘Cabbage Crack’ – and I’m in love … OK, so it’s officially called Napa Cabbage Salad, and yes, …
Date night was a success … But more importantly, the kids made it home safe and sound. They had a great, albeit cold and wet time at Cedar Point. I hung out in the studio most of the day, with DH popping up from his man-cave from time to time. He’s taken to calling the …

Had some successes, a failure(!) and slow, but steady progress in the studio: My square bowls … wouldn’t fit in my production kiln, so ‘energy-conscious’ gal that I am, I loaded the coffin up. I will now, [eventually] be making three square bowls (only have the one mold). And I’ve got a few pieces of …
Had a full day out and about, but ending with some happy time in the studio. Went to the crime lab ‘Meet & Greet’ … imagine a room full of SANE nurses, social workers and a few lawyers against one lone crime lab director. He did great(!) and I’m hopeful more positive process changes will …
Both the good and bad kind: The good: I am in love with this – a Wireless Photo Upload card … I realize I take a lot of pictures – between dogs, kids, puppies, family and my fused glass/crafts. I’ve never understood folks who can use their camera SD card (or other storage card) for …
Of course, that means the night is NEVER dull, but … Wow! Meet Buddy, our ‘team mascot’ for the last shift of my weekend. Some nurses consider ANYTHING a patient gives them as a precious gift to be treasured … even PARASITIC BUGS! [An engorged tick for all you folks not up on your entomology] … Ugggghhhh! …
