The Morris Family was going to an Amusement park but they forgot the map,so they were lost when they found Horrorland and all three of the kids wanted to go Lizzie, Luke ,and Clay,Luke's best friend. Lizzie and Luke really wanted to go I mean REALLY so they went and they got to go on any ride they wanted.They went to lots of rides and on every one of them they got really scared because the sines said the weirdest things like on a slide ride the sine said:Doom Slide.Will You Be The One To Slide Forever?and then:Warning!-You May Be The One To Slide To Your Doom!That's creepy.But will they live??

What I like about the story is I always ALWAYS want to just want to jump in the book and go with them and enjoy my frights with them (even though it's supposed to be a scary book.), like the part where Lizzie,Luke,and Clay go down the slide and find Clay missing,and the part where they go in the hall of mirrors.

Good Morning:

It's a drizzly morning and, for me, a welcome sight. The dampness of my backyard smells heavenly and the subdued light always brings out the pinks in my garden. I must admit, Ava and I skipped our walk this morning, using the piddly amount of rain as an excuse. In reality, we simply wanted to take a break. To sit quietly by the open window and breath in the delight of the wet concrete and musty smelling soil.

The house is cool-ish enough to wear a light jacket, but, I'm sure that by noon I will have stripped it off to find my typical Old Navy undershirt as today's wardrobe.

I have purposely left my calendar empty this week. I have no real plans, and I am so looking forward to a week of "whatever". Oh, I do have my usual chores and such to attend to, and I always have the best intentions to work in my studio... So, as I look forward to the upcoming days, I will savour todays rainy smells and subtle light, with hopes of a calm and thoughtful tomorrow.

I listed two new ACEO collage prints in My Etsy Shop this morning. The first one is entitled: "June Bride". I thought it appropriate to list this at the end of May in the hopes that someone might want to purchase one as a simple, little wedding gift. I just completed a special order for 10 of these ACEO prints. A bride that I know ordered them and framed each one to give as gifts to her attendants. If anyone is interested in this, or any of my art, and you don't have an Etsy account, you can order directly from me. Just click my blog profile and you can email me there.

The second ACEO collage print is entitled: "Cool Cat Picnic". This one is just a fun and whimsical piece meant to do nothing more than make someone scratch their head and smile!

Alright...here it is, May again. Which, generally speaking, is a good thing. Spring is in the air, colors are bouncing out of control in the garden and the sun shines well into the evening. Along with all of these lovely May happenings comes one dreadful and hideous task.... SHOPPING FOR A BATHING SUIT ~~ Yup, it's that time of year again. Today is the day. I'm feeling brave and hopeful (plus, I have a 10% off coupon for Old Navy). So, off we go. Just Ava and me. Mother and daughter sharing the classic yet depressing spring time ritual.

We'll make it fun as we are planning on shopping for other little goodies also. Goodies that will soothe our souls. Trinkets that will take away the sting from the scant suits that cover such small amounts of our bodies.

Never Fear. A few trips to the beach and a good tan can do wonders for a new summer bikini.



So today, we will brave the bulge and ignore the white of our winter skin. All the while knowing that, in a few weeks, we will be indulging in our favorite summer "activity". Long, luxurious days, lying on our colorful striped beach chairs. Listening to the crash of the waves. A soft salt in the air and a cold Diet Coke in hand.

In honor of today's ritual, I have listed a print of my ACEO "Arizona Sunbathers" in My Etsy Shop.
