Thought This Was Cute..

                                                   

Vacations.

                 I have been getting vacation booklets through AAA since I have been a member since 2007.  Planning vacations and actually doing them are two separate things for me.  Being on a budget limits when and where you get to go.   Today I took my daughter and her friend to Delaware beach.  Back in the seventies growing up in Delaware, Ohio there weren't too many things to do during the summer other than going to Delaware  Beach, that was a treat for the four of us kids when grandpa took us swimming  there followed by a vanilla ice cream cone.  We got two when Alum Creek made another beach in the early 80's.
                I always wanted to go see the East Coast and summer would be perfect, although its pretty busy there during this time of the year because of the enormity of the beaches.  The main reason I never went was I had nobody there I knew and no one who would go with me.  Well, I know somebody there I really trust and care about, the problem is, I feel kinda uninvited and intruding  where I shouldn't.  My dad felt I should just stay put.  I know it sounds strange, but I feel that its a best.  Maybe one day I will be welcomed.  I have cried so much, just feeling bad about myself.   I am a gentle woman who likes to keep peace and express respect and love for everyone.  I wish I could see him again and maybe he could figure something out.  Until then I have to rely on memory and be happy until one day when I will hear from him again and see him one day.    Ohio will have to keep me a little while longer.  I would call too but the same applies to it too, I think of Steely Dan's song.    My love to Everyone in Amesbury and Boston, Ma, Love and Prayers Always.

This Is A Funny Joke But I'm Not The Artist Though..

My Art Portfolio (Revised June 6, 2014)

                                          Adding more to my Art Portfolio.  Please be patient as I prepare it.  It may take several tries but I hope you always enjoy it.

                                   This one I added, is very special, I did this portrait of all the dogs we had since we were little to give to my sister on Christmas on year, I matted and framed the work as well.  It still hangs in my old bedroom.  My mom thought of this project.

Reminder To Myself .

So very true!

When Does An Artist Calls It Quits...

                      For many artist, they go through a period "Unproductive".  After my husband's death, it seems like I hit a spell.  Then I found inspiration when I thought I had a chance with a new life, like I was taking a new breath.  With everything that has happened this last year and believing in something I thought was real, turned out it really didn't want me, well this time.. I hadn't the strength anymore to go on with my art. I don't know if I ever will again, so I will say that I enjoyed my talent because I truly was blessed with what the Lord had given and I am glad I made people happy, that was what it was all about...Thank You So Much, Love Always,

Ohio Outdoor Drama "Tecumseh" Ohio History

                          My dad took us to see "Tecumseh" first in 1977. It was a summer treat for us kids.
      I wish the soundtrack was down loadable, it is an amazing soundtrack.  It takes you back into that period of time.  If you ever get a chance to see this Real life Outdoor Drama and you have never seen it, it is worth the trip to the southern part of Ohio in The Sugarloaf Mountains.

Just One Of My Son's Favorite Quotes From His Favorite Car Maker.

Floral Design!

       My dad got me started on making floral arrangements when I was a teenager.  At that time I would go out and pick flowers to put on mom's table.  Many times just to surprise her.  When I was younger, my sisters and brother would wake up early, set the morning table with her favorite coffee cup and breakfast treat.  I usually went out and gathered Lilacs from grandma's tree.  I really treasure those memories!
             Today, I got to talk to mom as she called and wished me a "Happy Mother's Day and I the same for her.   I really enjoyed returning the favor.  I have kinda gotten away from Floral Design as I had been burned out on it but I still design for the family and my house.
              Who can be sad when they look at the colors of flowers or even the fragrance of them.
My love to all of you on this glorious mother's day!

The Pontiac Fire Bird!

                 I don't know what year Schizz's Pontiac Fire Bird was, but I did find some pictures of the car that were from the seventies.   I am not positive I hit the year, but I hope it brings back memories for him.  I often hear my dad say "If only I kept those cars today".
                 Isn't that the truth, that would have been real neat, but like everything.  Life just doesn't work out that way.  I hope this brings you a smile Schizz, Love You So Much!

Maybe this might been playing on the radio!

What Is A Gremlin?

        Ok, my dear Schizz, Thinking about what you wrote about how you called your car a nick name (Gremlin) Libido.  It has been bugging me since.  So I decided to have my computer work for me, I typed in on my search engine...What is a Gremlin?
        It gave me a definition Grem-lin..An imaginary mischievous sprite regarded as responsible for an unexplained problem, especially a mechanical or electronic one...
        Hmmm, well that didn't help, although, it explains the car to a T...it fits, considering it made the top 50 worse cars of all time
              I would re-evaluate the nick name Libido for a Gremlin, gosh it sounds more like an insult when you think of the definition.  If you think of the characters in the movie "Gremlin".   That would be dangerous because you couldn't feed them after midnight or get them wet...that just sounds so wrong!
          I guess you can call me mischievous when writing this.  Honestly, dear, I would rather you would had called your firebird libido, it would be more logical...I think.
          I remember in art class we were given a work of art and analyze its meaning.  Depending on a car's power, one might argue, its all in the eye's of the driver. Still, your Fire bird would have done circles around the Gremlin, hands down.  Fuel economy, well, I suppose the gremlin had that and a lady might wonder if that refers to your  Gremlin car's nickname "Libido".  It would be a compliment.
          So, I think I found the answer to the question "Why you called your Gremlin ,Libido?" I guess "Economy" describes it and that is enough said.
          Still I have to tease you one way or another, don't ever change, you're cute just the way you are!

                                         My son calls this Gremlin a "Starsky and Hutch" want a be.

Don't feed it after midnight or get it wet..either one..the car too!

Beautiful Designed Dresses

        Back in the thirties and forties, do you remember the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers?  Those beautiful ball gowns she wore.
        I love those classic ball gown designs.  I think one reason is that they are feminine and delicate. We have kinda wondered away from some of those designs because of our culture of today.  Just last week when the school had there prom, some of the girls were wearing the full length dresses instead of the short-reveal all dresses that had dominated most of the past few years.
      Now a days dressing -up is a rare thing as we are more casual in dinning and dancing.  Ball room dancing is really a thing of the past
       When I would draw pictures, I only use my memory of those dresses of yest er-year.  Sometimes, I'll leaf through dress pattern books to get ideals.
       I am too old for some of the designs of today, so classic dresses are more my "Design" even if the are just below the knee, tea-length or full length.

                                        Check this last one out, the used "Time OF My Life"  with some of the clips, that is so neat!

W.D.L.R, Delaware,Ohio

         I can recall growing up in Delaware, Ohio, most people would look at me funny when I would tell them I was from Delaware.  '"You mean the state?" they would ask..."No, Delaware, Ohio."
          Delaware wasn't as known as is is today as part of Columbus.  When I was a girl  you would describe it to people 'Just north of Columbus".    In The Georgetowne Shopping Center across from Grady Hospital, there used to be Buehlers, Sunshine Cleaners, Cherry Tree gift shop, Baskin Robbins and Ben Franklin Store.  Ben Franklin was kinda like the five and dime store, only they carried clothing and crafts.  Summer was an awesome time to visit the shopping center, hot outside, air conditioned inside. T-shirts were plentiful, many times mom bought shirts for us there.  There was one in particular I remember because it described how everyone in Delaware held from outsiders in town.  In all colors of t-shirts, black letters would go across the front, just like this...whereinhellisdelaware?
  Believe it or not, Delaware, Ohio had its own radio station, that's right W.D.L.R.  Growing up, it was a pop music station on the A.M frequency.  Most of the time however, it was mainly talk and when I would listen to it or any of the rest of us were for two reasons in the seventies and eighties:
        One: For local information concerning Olentangy School School delays or closings
                                                  and
        Two:  TRADIO, yes trade-io.  It was a chance for local residents to trade or sale things.  Mom was on it a few times and I remember how excited we were to hear mom on the radio.  She got up on the air a couple times to sale our old appliances.
        Even though back in those days many people didn't even know where Delaware was, we had a radio station.   I am not real sure if its around anymore, the last I knew, it was a country music station, now I think its all talk.
        As it is, I have fond memories of our dear old radio station in Delaware, Ohio. so here's to W.D.L.R!

Sexy Songs?

                Did you ever notice that over the decades there have been songs that have been written to exclaim how sexy the singer is...I got thinking about this and chuckle to myself.  Then there are songs that describe  how they feel sexy, in other words, how they are going to seduce, or how a feeling overcomes them...ok well here are the ones that I am talking about (Ha-Ha)  Now this can be described as The Art Of Being Sexy.

This Is Disturbing ..O.M.Gosh ! ! !

Movies Based On True Events, That I remember....

                Recently, I got a movie at Walmart for 5 bucks.  Most of the time, they are the older films that one may have watched dozens of times over the years.  I happened across UNSTOPPABLE, about the runaway train starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine.  I remember when this event took place and seeing the footage on the news of the two men who stopped it.  Some of the footage is in the film.  Its a fast moving film and a good one.  Its one that just makes you feel good inside.  So if you haven't seen the film because it may not sound good to ya, believe me its a good film based on true events.  I have listed a few other true event films I grew up on, that I have really enjoyed.  Hope you enjoy too!
