  • Mardi Says She’ll Hang With The Planck Pack

    Mardi Says She’ll Hang With The Planck Pack

    We named her Mardi since we’ve lived in Mardi Gras country for over 7 years (At least it’s the French word for Tuesday and not Fat). She was adopted from the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter on January 8, 2010. Caidy picked her out over the holidays, but it was almost two weeks of waiting since…

  • Ta Ta Tioga!

    Ta Ta Tioga!

    Roughly thirty years ago my parents bought a 14 foot wide by 80 foot long mobile home. It wasn’t the original plan.

    Not A Glenn Kennedy

    It’s November, so I’m not suprised that I’ve been sketching a Glenn Kennedy inspired floating apple on my iPhone. Enjoy! He sold his floating apple painting I wanted before I could get the cash. It was a good deal too for helping him with his computer woes. Missed opportunity #x. We miss Glenn.

  • Thoughts on Typekit with Typekit

    ® For so long I’ve had to gaze on Arial and Helvetica competing for my love. I’ve watched as Times New Roman and ugly older sibling Times read old crumbling newspapers. In a corner I’ve spied Courier New and lazy cousin Courier trying to play Atari cartridges in a broken NES and program in Basic.…

  • Kitchen Make Over

    Our kitchen and dining room area takes up about a third of our small house and has one tiny window. Why anyone would paint the walls prison gray and make a dark textured faux stone back splash from cement and plaster I don’t know. Previous owners left us with a large cave-like room more suitable…
