All eyes are on succulents.

Today is a great day for #7 from the previous post. “Laughter can be The Best Medicine Ever. You’ve got to try it! Read humor, watch comedy, laugh with family and friends. Don’t just hope laughter might happen, deliberately make it happen.” – from 31 Wonderful Things Severe Pain Taught Me

Scruffy succulent.

We are gathered here together...

Sopranos, go for the high notes... Bass, pick up the volume...

The conversation during the invisible game went like this…
“Let’s play Triopoly, Barbie!
Ok, Chelsea. You take your turn first. Thank you.
Here, Barbie, have some money. You can have lots of money!
Move this piece, Ken. Ok, Barbie, here’s more money.
I’ll take some money. No, Ken you can’t have any money.”

The game ended abruptly…
“Ok, so Barbie and Chelsea won the game so Ken is grumpy because he lost.
So Ken is hanging by his feet from the table because he is grumpy.”

Barbie, Chelsea and Ken play Triopoly but Ken gets grumpy because he lost so he hangs from the table by his feet because he is grumpy.

We never got around to getting the chimney swept this year. Plus, the wood stove is in the basement. Not to miss out on the fireplace experience this cold icy night, we made it happen.
As the water warmed for tea, we turned on the oven and enjoyed the nice ambient glow.

Oven Fireplace. Actually, we taped plastic wrap to the oven with electrician's tape. And then painted the logs and flames with acrylic paint.

There must have been something magical about the glow because the guys stayed a while.

My daughter was having a rotten week in the office. So I drew some comics for her on post-it-notes.

Easter Eggs 2012

The egg decorating kit looked spiffy, with pretty colors and cute rub-on decals of chicks, eggs and bunnies. But the decals didn’t stick at all. Not happy there. But we don’t give up easy so we rummaged around in my little box of scrapbook stickers and found a couple old sheets of rub-on decals from Valentine’s Day years ago. We had to think like an egg in order to figure out which words might work on an egg. Quite the stretch. Here are our eggs, which we put all in one basket.

My personal favorites?
“Most embarrassing moment” on a cracked egg.
Also the egg with “And so the story goes…” Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The egg of course.
