Mom's Cookin Things I remember Mom Cooking… 1. Spaghetti – Instead of tomato sauce Mom added tomato soup to the spaghetti – (she didn't like tomatoes). 2. Tacos – Mom didn't like spicy stuff so she poured ketsup on our tacos. I didn't know what salsa was until I ate dinner at a friends. I was a teenager by then. …
Happiness is… Thursday May 10
What Made Me Happy Today? Happiness is… 1. Chocolate Covered Strawberries (Kevin bought them for me before he left for the Great Lakes Mega Meet.) 2. A fun decorative font (link to Rapscallion font – pictured below) – (I was able to use this font and my design skills to help a friend with an invitation – that always makes …
Arcostic Words on Wednesday, May 9
ACROSTIC – LIST CHALLENGE: Write your name down the left-hand side of the page, (like you would for an acrostic poem). Next to each letter write a positive word that describes YOU.

Free Day – Tuesday, May 8

Out of Place – Saturday, March 31
Out of Place Do you ever wonder how things got where they are? 1. There's a plastic candy cane in the pencil holder on my desk – I have no idea what it is doing in there. (It really should be packed away with the Christmas tree ornaments.) 2. Inside that same pencil holder I found a ping pong …
Begin with…A Memory Exercise – Friday May 4
I have friends who I can easily chat with on the phone for hours. We start talking and the conversation just continues to flow from one subject to another. Memories can be a lot like conversations they can begin in one place an end in a completely different place. Try it out: Begin with… a circular object … like the …
Home is where the Heart is – Thursday May 3
Home is where the Heart is Until a few years ago, when people asked me, "Where are you from?" I hesitated before answering. That's a good question I'd think to myself. I was born in Idaho shortly after my family moved across the border to Oregon. When I was 3-4 we lived in Eastern Washington. Then we moved …
