An artist friend in Arizona, Sarh McAnerny, asked me to make a giclee print of one of her original paintings. She and her sisters and a friend own Tre Sorelle Home Designs. They make hand painted everything! You can co-ordinate a room or a whole house with matching hand painted tiles, pillows, kitchenware, wall hangings and more! They have a nice variety of Tuscan and Meditteranean landscapes and still life, as well as a selection of children's designs Here is just one example below (the one I'll be printing)

OK, Here's the thing....

I had to uninstall my commercial anti-virus, spyware, and firewall this morning, and reinstall some freeware, so I'm running a little (a lot) behind this morning - plus I'm a little under the weather - yesterday the doctor prescribed me some super duper antibiotics to kill whatever is growing in my lungs, but I haven't gone to the pharmacy yet - so I have to do that too. I will try my best to get a decent post up by this afternoon.

Until then, "I'll be workin' on it"

Nothing tells your dinner guests you care, more than good ol' fashioned Diesel Fried Chicken - ummmm, ummmm, good!

And as promised - A FUNNY :-} ....



A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Pattie looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager. Pattie explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.The frog says "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall - bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Pattie explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog named Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral. She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"



The bank manager looks back at her and says... "It's a knick-knack, Pattie Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone." :-}

Based on the given information, what inning are they playing, and what is the present status of the game?

This is an old "Paddy Wagon" in Shaniko, OR. It is a quaint "OLD TOWN" situated on Hwy 97 between I-84 at Biggs, OR. and Redmod, OR to the south. Pretty neat place - worth the drive to check it out. The whole area was blanketed with ice from freezing fog - very beautiful !
More to come - stay tuned...

BEE on a Dandelion

I thought I would share a photo today of a bee on a dandelion that I took several years ago at our home in Myrtle Point, OR. It was taken with my fuji s7000 in macro mode. I really liked that camera for close-ups.
Have a nice day :-}

Sorry - My Mistake...Oregon Blue Grass Band in the Snow

(Click on image to enlarge)

It was brought to my attention regarding yesterday's post : "Oregon BlueGrass" that I was leaving out a vital aspect of "Blue Grass" - that of course being the music. So I have added the Oregon based "Rogue Blue Grass Band" to complete the "BlueGrass" reference. Now isn't that better? :-}
