Reminds me of my neighbor out in Long Beach, CA, whom I silently nicknamed "Mr. Got-All-The-Toys-You-Can-Buy." He bought one of those high-pressure washer machines that are used to get oil stains out of concrete driveways. He used it to pressure wash his stucco house walls and blew off so much stucco he had to pay to have it re-stuccoed. Pressure washer - $285.00. Stucco job - $3,500.00.
I finished the Vanilla "Clown" cupcake. Just waiting for some sun to photograph it.
I cleared out my house at the start of my divorce so the only things left belonged to me. I got used to the extra space and have tried to keep it that way when I moved to Ohio. The only things I hoard now are cats and kitty toys. LOL
There should be NO laws passed in any jurisdiction of the US that provide favors to any religious groups, or sects or cults. Such laws are preferential and unconstitutional. The Nazi right-wingers are running away with our country, Fredo. Join the resistance!
I watched and listened to your governor last night after the POTUS delivered his SOTU address (Don't you love abbreviations?) I am not impressed by the Governor of Indiana.
For some odd reason I get those huge envelopes full of campaign literature and reply envelopes from Republican organizations. I stuff the postage-paid reply envelopes with all their literature including the opened envelope they used to mail it to me and mail it back. That costs them money! They have to pay for it by weight! I love being part of the 'resistance.'
I have an O type that is rare because there is something natural in my blood that they need for "preemies," as they called premature babies. In Long Beach I gave almost every 56 or 57 days at Red Cross, for decades. I totaled over 11 gallons before they refused me once I had to take Ketoprofen for my arthritis. I regret stopping but without Ketoprofen, my anti-inflammatory drug, I am damn near crippled.
Rain is good for the Pecan orchards. Maybe now the pecan prices will roll back from these historic highs!
I try to put drama in every painting. There is drama in the crumbs, lower right. LOL
