I need a parade...

Mid-winter blahs have a hold on me... I could use a marching band, sunshine, a rowdy crowd.... A kids scrambling for candy being tossed from parade floats.. How about you?

Oodles of Doodles...

Our poor kids. When the time comes to roll ol'mom and dad out of this house... They're going to have their hands full. With my dad it was endless paper filled with his writing.. His wisdom, intelligence...his humor... His memories. Boxes and boxes! Mom .... 110 3-ring binders filled with photos...

With me it will be files full of oodles of doodles! I ran across them today.... Drawing Pre-iPad days on paper! The little lady below was inspired by a little series I had done several years ago. I think she was headed to be a set at 4evercards titled "Little Old Lady Who,,,,"

I wonder what the point of me drawing is. Gotta be something other than stressing out our kids as old age approaches..... Hmmmmmm my legacy to them.... Maybe a drawing or two will make them smile... And to wonder what exactly was going on in my head!

February 14th!

Special love to all my family and friends! Happy Valentines Day!

I'm a Leftie

And so is my cat.... This is how I iPad at night.... =^..^=

Happy Cat

Our cat is going to turn 13 soon! She's nearly a teenager, which probably translates into "Senior Citizen" in cat years. Gracie loves mom and dad... And isn't too sure about the others who invade "her house." She believes in the old adage, 'move your meat, lose your seat,' taking over my recliner each night. She loves to curl up in clean, newly folded laundry... I often wear her to work! Well, her fur anyway! I think Gracie is a leftie, like me. She curls up in my left arm only... whether I'm sleeping, watching tv, or drawing on my iPad. Frustrated finding me going off to sleep on my right side the other night, she traipsed over me several times, digging in the blankets until I rolled over. The purr machine won and we fell asleep together with her in her preferred snuggle spot! I should mention that Gracie is no featherweight! When she "traipses" across your body, you feel it!

As I type tonight... Gracie is reaching out, little white paw on my cheek as if to say, "stop mom... I need a cuddle..." and so TTFN!

Whooooo had fun?

Thank you iPad and Art Studio! I had a lot of fun working on this one last night and couldn't have done it without you!

Groundhog Day 2013

I met Jimmy the 10th yesterday! He is a four year old groundhog making his debut appearance as the official prognosticator! It was bitter cold, but he declared an Early Spring for us! Let's hope he is right! It's been a pretty mild winter in Wisconsin - but we're all ready for the cold and snow (and ice) to go away
