Howdy!
It was our errand day and there were a lot of errands. Nathan got his upper braces on today so now I have 2 boys in braces!*HOOT* They know us pretty well at the Orthodontist’s! Dr. Penny and his crew are simply awesome! Someday we are going to get into their arcade room and play Mario Cart! I can’t wait! But they are always ready and only patients who are kept waiting get to go in there…sad. I have seen no one in there yet! *wink*
I am wading in a sea of email! Holy Smokes! Response to the The Curse has been phenomenal! So wonderful seeing all your emails and I will get back to all of you soon! Just bushed tonight. You are all so darling. I love having so many friends out there in web-land! Thank you!
AJ got outside last night and came home COVERED with stick-tights ( tiny cockleburs the size of seed beads) He looked like he was wearing armor! He still has a few, but I just finished with the last of the brushing and he laid there and let me do it. I also shaved his cute little belly. ( we have a bur around that corkscrews into the flesh, I had to make sure he didn’t have any of those on his tum-tum.) He let me do that too! Amazing! The covering of stick-tights came off in a large plate. Now I wish I had saved it to take a picture of, but I put it out for the birds to build their nests with. I just checked it and its GONE! LOL! Popular stuff! Well its soft and furry on one side and sticks like velcro on the other side. Its good nesting material.
I know our AJ he will sneak out again. ( runs right under the stampede of dogs, fearlessly!) So next time he will get less on his belly since the hair is short now.
He is doing GREAT btw, meds all done and feeling fine. As you can tell, he is back to his old self sneaking out and making us worry.

Saw some great quotes today.
"When a person dies, it’s as if a library burns down – all singular experiences, anchored in unique cells, are extinguished." — George Koehler
“After Michelangelo died, someone found in his studio a piece of paper on which he had written a note to his apprentice, in the handwriting of his old age: ‘Draw, Antonio, draw, Antonio, draw and do not waste time.’”
– Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

I have to tell you about the July Color Challenge! This month Kim had a snorter of an idea! She asked each of us ( her CT team) to pick a color and send it in. Frankly we sent in some great colors on their own, but side by side, I was wondering how anything remotely pretty was going to come out of the kerfluffle!
See for yourself! Now she had to do two posting bonus gifts as well to accommodate all the color choices…she has a great big ( infinitely talented) Creative Team! I am just tickled to be swimming is the same pond with all these ladies!
Isn’t this off the handle???
From this…
To this…
And from this…
To this…
If you choose to take both of these challenges, of course you get both of these kits free! WOWSER!! Its easy to do, just visit the challenge forum at DSO for more details. I would link just the Color Challenge page direct, except the individual challenge forums close and change anew each month, so its best for future readers to visit the main page. If you are reading this months after the July Challenges have kicked, visit Kim’s Store she often offers these freebies for a small fee a few months after the challenge is over.
Happy Wednesday ALL!
I am so glad you let me in your life! Thanks for all the email notes and comments!! …LOVE them!
