Of things taken for granted

Have you ever wondered about how someone figured out how to make chocolate. Or how many people died to figure out which mushrooms to eat, or which shell fish were tastie, or what berries we could gobble down without thought of ill effects?

This past Thanksgiving with friends reminded me how grateful I am that those before me figured out that yams were good eating, and that everything tastes better with friends to share a meal with, and laugh, and wonder at the marvel of whipping cream.

Be well, create lots!

Every summer as a child, I went to Sullivan lake for a week or more with my grandparents. My grandfather loved to fish. I often went with him just to be on the lake but the rule was you could not be in the boat without running a line. this was my big catch.

Which reminds me of the fun Picture Book "A Fshing Surprise" by Rae A. McDonald and illustrted by Kathleen Kemly. This is a wonderful.

I plan to share books I love with those who read along.

Be well, create lots,

What it's started already?

I finally got this fun mural project done for Youth Theater Northwest entrance. There is the before and above it are some after shots. The idea was to have circus like posters of the creative people who work behind the scenes, costume designers and prop, and sound and well, you get the idea. they needed to be whimsical and silly but still show a little bit of what they do. Their students are preschool to 18 years old.
