MMLM: Picasso Pachyderm

I’ve watched a few of these videos, and this particular elephant really makes a lovely painting of an elephant. His friend? Mommy? Girlfriend?
Is there some trick? I don’t know. But who knew trunks were so versatile? Watch and smile.

SO not fair!!!

I just realized that my entry for Diesel’s weekly caption contest made it to the finals! I have tried for months on these things and got bupkus!
Then, I go OUT OF TOWN (once in a WHOLE YEAR) and make the finals.
No chance to beg/bribe/plead for people to VOTE for my […]

trippin’ update

Kid and I just got back from Dallas (that’s spelled M-A-L-L, for those unaware). Nothing like going back home to feel old, am I right? My old stompin’ grounds got a big upgrade in every way. Many of those construction projects from last year are now done and new, enormous holes in […]

After Kid’s […]

The concerts start in late May, which is great since the Waterfront Park concerts on […]

who IS that Easter Bunny?

We had a little egg hunt for one at our house yesterday. I hid 8 eggs inside the house and the hubs took the headlamp to hide 8 more around the front yard the night before (you apparently HAVE TO HIDE THEM OUTSIDE…).
Kid merrily found eggs inside Easter morning. It rained awhile outside, so […]

can 1 question ruin your day?

How about…..“Are you the grandma?”
Okay, technically I could be Kid’s grandmother if I started at 18 and that child had a child at 18…., but I don’t really need to THINK about that. Instead of babies, I had school, work, travel, happy hours, moves, and freedom.
If more people would let their grey hair grow […]
