Even though Panoply sorta got in the way of my A to Z blog challenge, I WILL finish it regardless that it is technically over. I want to get to the end of that project and I do have my … Continue reading
I am afraid I don’t have anything witty to say about utensils. Actually, I had a hard time coming up with something interesting for the letter U. I asked my kids, “Kids, what should I do for this challenge … Continue reading
Growing up in my household with a Space Cadet father was fun. Super fun! That meant that Dr Who was required TV and I was super ok with that. So ok with it that I grew to have a … Continue reading
Yes, swimming, swimming along in our 25 gallon tank. Unfortunately for the fish, being owned by us means certain death for them. We haven’t had much luck with fish in our aquarium… I don’t know if it’s because my … Continue reading
