    Busy week..and nothing to show for it…yet…

    The week has just slipped away… Some how I thought when the kids went back to school I’d have a ton of time to devote to art. HMMM…maybe I’m just playing catch-up with all the things I’ve put off for the majority of the summer.

    I have worked on our vacation scrapbook a little but since I don’t share photos of my kids on my blog…I’m not going to share the pages….sorry.  I’ve also made a couple of birthday cards and a gift that I will share on Sunday afternoon. I know that the recipient reads my blog so I don’t dare post until then…no peeking! You know who you are!!!

    I’m back…did you miss me??

    Bet you never even knew I was gone! Ah, the magic of scheduled posting.

    We just got back from Wisconsin Dells! It was a blast! We stayed at a resort that had 5 water parks. Of course the one we loved most was a long walk but hey…wears the kids out!!

    We did the typical Dells things that you just have to do at least once if you visit…

    We rode the Army Duck Boats, toured the Tommy Bartlett Exploratory, walked the tourist trap downtown area, had our picture taken at the dam and played in the water until we were very prune-like.

    We also did some goofy things like stopping to take a picture of the kids in front of most any statue we could find.

    It was a wonderful vacation…without having to board an airplane. 🙂  Jamaica, I’m sure would have been better but we can’t drive there.

    Fish and tomatoes

    No, it’s not a recipe. It’s what’s been happening around here.

    As requested (and because I’ve got nothing better to show you), here is our new aquarium. There are 9 current residents…6 platy’s, 2 corydora’s and a purple cichlid. We plan to get a few more in about a month.

    And then there’s Bob, our Crowntail Betta. Our daughter named him “Prince (something or other)” but Bob just seemed to roll off the tongue better. He enjoys looking at art and my girl swears that he gets excited when she changes his scenery.

    And finally…my tomatoes are starting to ripen, so the harvest has begun. They are so yummy!
