Merry Christmas!

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Santa found our house last night just fine. He ate a couple of the cookies that we left out for him, and left severl wrapped presents and a full stocking of goodies for everyone. The kids have been up since 6:00 am and have already opened everything here. I’m going to cook a nice brunch for us all in a little bit.

We are going to have a very busy next couple of days. I hope you have a nice Christmas, too.

Taste of Italy

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

The teachers and staff at the school my children attend decided to have an end of year party. It is called a Taste of Italy. Each child can invite one adult to come to the event, which is a spaghetti dinner. After the dinner they are giving away door prizes and having a DJ play music so the kids can dance. It sounds like great fun tonight.

Surfing for Clip Art

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Sometimes I happen upon a web site that has a wonderful collection of clip art and photos. More often, though, I find a piece that I like just mixed in with regular text or posts.

I found this one that made me laugh. I’m sorry I forget where I found it. If it is yours, please let me know. Anyway, I laugh because the guy looks just like the jerk that my grandmother married late in life. He was so anal about everything – a total perfectionist and a bitter, unhappy man that drank himself to death on 2-3 six-packs of Busch beer daily. I imagine if one of his neighbors had the ability he would have created this sculpture and targeted  my step-grandfather.
