Uh oh, a new hobby? Digital Scrapbooking. . .


- this was a challenge at LPS Forum and oh no - I think I love this. Fun little pages with scrollies & flourishes & flowers. . . and then photos & stories of your favorite things & people. Can't wait to have time to try some more. . .

I just like this

So I posted it here:

Why Parents Drink

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an
Envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'Dad.'

With the worst premonition he opened the envelope
with trembling hands and read the letter.


Dear Dad:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.

I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.

But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it' s not only the passion...Dad she's pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children..

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone.
We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.

In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so
Stacy can get better. She deserves it.

Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can
get to know your grandchildren.


Love, Your Son John



PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.


I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card - - It's in my center desk drawer.


I love you.


Call me when it's safe to come home.

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Well, it's been a while since I blogged. I am following lots of friends who I have found on Facebook and that's really fun. I just returned from a 7 day house-dog sitting gig in Oceanside. Even though it was overcast & cool most of the time it was still very relaxing. I just love hearing the waves crashing. At the high tides it's very loud and thunderous which is very envigourating and soothing at the same time.
I felt the earthquake there Sunday night. It wasn't very hard but it upset the dogs which made me nervous. I kept wondering if it was a pre-shock to a bigger one to come. Fortunately it wasn't.

Getting ready this week to fly out to Tennessee. I hate flying and it's especially "hectic" because I am taking Maggie. I love that she gets to fly in the cabin but I don't like that she has to stay in her bag under the seat. I paid $125. each way for her ticket; she should get a seat of her own!
