In the locker room today, after swimming, I was talking to another woman about the devastation caused by Katrina. She said it was like the great flood in the bible. I doubt this would have occured to me, since I’m not religious. I don’t believe. But I was raised to be [...]

The Lens Day Challenge for this week is Candy.

Pulguito & the serger
The theme for PhotoTuesday is ENVY. He really wants the serger, not the sewing machine, not the computer; no, it’s the serger that turns him green.

The theme for Moody Monday is priceless.

Granny & Pulguito on Lake Winnipesauke

I’ve bought yarn from MyPaperCrane and SnapCrafty. Both artists give very good customer service. I custome ordered some yarn from SnapCrafty, and she was very responsive and pretty quick in filling my order.

Question of the Day is:

I guess it’s more of a statement: You really are that stupid; aren’t you. Then I’d leave without eating. If you can’t tell, I’m not a fan [...]
