I love Swans, they are one of my two favorite birds, the other being Canadian Geese.  I have completed two of my Swan paintings and I love them!  I'm not sure how many more I'm going to add, I currently have two more sketched out.  Click here to visit this series in my gallery.. prints can be purchased here also!

A great way to get a new appliance is to find out if a store has a 'scratch and dent' section or policy.  I don't know if all Best Buy's have this (I would assume they do) but the one I recently shopped at had several dented or damaged (in some way) items available at a great savings.  A chest freezer had a dent on the top left front corner and they were selling it for $212, the regular price was

Flats suck especially when the tire iron you have is for your truck and too big for the friends' tire you're trying to change.    Had quite the adventure last night after work...  I'm on lunch, but will write more tonight. Okay... so I stopped in at the car wash to run my truck through... it needed it bad after driving in the snow, salt and underground all week.  I contemplated going by my

I say IT IS! The hubs bought me a beautiful Natural Keyboard Valentine's Day.  :)  I know, I know, you're thinking.... What??  But for me it's a very romantical gift. I can type all day long ! I just love it! I think everyone should learn to use them.  You'd be amazed at how easy they are on your hands and arms. I can type like nobodys business with this thing, and the pain in my hands isn't

oh and ice too!   Sorry it's been so long, cable and electric knocked out because of ....  yep you guessed it... the weather! Although I got some beautiful pictures of snow, I've had my fill.  I'm ready for SPRING.. not Summer, but definitely Spring.   We had over two feet of snow during the first blast last Friday (Feb 5), played with the snow blower on Saturday,  and made a nice patch of

These three canvases were created to go together, or to be displayed on their own. The first canvas is one I made up.. It gives the feeling of what it's like to live in New Mexico.. summer nights..  very mellow, the sky is huge...  really is ENCHANTING. The second is of mountains in Southern New Mexico were I use to live (saw these out of my front door every morning), minus the adobe dwellings,

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parent's nasty divorce. Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever! A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother! Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to

I'm sitting here watching the E! show about the 2004 murder of Riley Fox,  It just goes to show how often the "authorities" (authorities of what?) jump to conclusions just because they don't have an answer. People are so quick to jump on the band wagon just because the media and police say someone is guilty.  Give me a break! If people were to take the time to form their own opinions, based on

The first YIELD sign was installed in Tulsa, Oklahoma and was invented by Tulsan Clinton Riggs.  Read more about the Yield Sign here.... I had to do a little research to make sure the Yield sign wasn't a figment of my imagination.  Maybe I'm wrong and they just haven't caught on in New England yet, which is a definite possibility after Escorting houses through New York, Connecticut and

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental, To reach out for another is to risk involvement, To expose our feelings is to risk exposing our true self, To place you ideas and dreams before the crowd is to risk loss, To love is to risk not being loved in return, To live is to risk dying, To hope is to risk despair, But we must, because the greatest hazard in

Okay, so I'm sitting here watching Teen Mom the "Standing Up"  episode.  A friend of the family comes to talk to Ryan and tells him that truck drivers make $800-$900 a week.  Ummm... okay are they planning for this kid to buy a truck, because I know of no company drivers that make that kind of money on a regular basis.  And is this kid 23 years old?  He might be, but if he's not they might want

There is a trucking company in Franklin, Pennsylvania that verbally warned a driver for coming home empty the day that he found out that his baby girl had been killed in an accident.  I'm not going to name names, but HOLY COW, the people at this trucking company are crass and just plain IGNORANT!!   It's about time the drivers at this company tell the owners (a brother and sister) where to shove

Today Turbo's gift basket arrived for being Pet of the Week (last week on www.YouPet.com). Actually it's a huge silver bowl filled with various treats, snacks and food from Dogswell [www.dogswell.com]. He was so excited as I opened the box. We took off the cellophane and his nose was instantly investigating each package.    I think Turbo is going to love this stuff, it doesn't smell
