Here’s the story that inspired this piece :
I was watching this amazing argument on Facebook with two people arguing over which of them heard Techno music first.
I beg to differ, everyone knows it was this woman, first day of techno – she was there!

True love sees past all our dents and dings as humans. We see the inner person we love not what’s on the outside.
I am lucky to have found that in this life and so did the two people in this improved photo. She never minded he looked like an elephant, sprayed water all over the bathroom with his truck on Saturday night bath night and left peanut shells in the bed, she loved who he was and found all that stuff totally endearing. #marriage
Russell made a great invention. This marvelous machine would take your inner self and make your outside match your inside.
He tried it on his dog first, and the dog became even more beautiful.
He tried it on a mouse and the mouse became stunning.
Finally, he tried it on himself and he unfortunately had his face rearranged into a gigantic sphincter. Then no one would fund his project. _____________________________________________________________
This was partially inspired by my friends Bonnie and Kim, who make me love the Fall even more. But I adore the changing of the leaves, it’s not frozen over in Ohio yet then and the colors of Fall are just awesome and meant to be appreciated.
And pie. Don’t forget pumpkin pie. That’s meant to be appreciated too.

I am a huge fan of honey bees. I don’t particularly like honey that much but I love bees for what they do.
If it was legal in Toledo, I’d keep bees but alas it is not.
You can thank a honey bee for your even being here and if you would, think of them as family members.
In fact, consider this your Uncle Bee. 😀

I am absolutely loved this guy’s face. He’s got the tiniest little smirk, like he knows something you don’t and it’s REALLY funny. He really looked like he was just holding back from busting into laughter.
I imagine he was a pretty awesome fellow to know in walking life.
My thought was that he wrote the funniest joke EVER – and now we have to wonder what it is.

We were watching the movie “Arthur” and there’s this bit where the love interest of Arthur tells him when she was a little girl, she believed the moon followed her and it meant she was going to be something special.
It got me thinking – what if it wasn’t an optical illusion, what if the moon really was following you?
How creepy would that be?

I wanted to do something different with this guy. He had the usual hair and the usual suit and the usual expression you see over and over and over in vintage photos (yes i know why people rarely smiled in these old photos ). And so I wanted to make him special, unique even. Everyone deserves that. So i started with some amazing blonde hair then it needed something…. a hat? No…. a RIBBON. And here you have Stanley with his amazing hair with this amazing ribbon. He will be the envy of all your other art on your walls.

If you know me, you know I detest talking on the phone. I love letters, emails, even text messages and nothing beats face to face for a great chat. But I hate the phone.
Now, out of all the people in the world I could have partnered with in life, my partner Skinney hates the phone too. Neither of our kids enjoy talking on the phone.
So, when the phone rings at our house, this is usually the conversation that ensues…
