So when I saw the prompt I immediately thought of these photo strips that have been hanging on our fridge for months and months waiting for "that perfect project" and here it was right in my in box thanks to Lain! I had fun putting it together and since today is our wedding anniversary I thought that's what the theme would be. Used Tim Holtz paper and ink and Girl's Paperie embellishments. I thought about going the Disney route but wasn't feeling it - hopefully it doesn't all clash too much!
I was probably about 9 years old. I started in the ‘A’ section of the children's novels of the Dunedin Public Library at the start of my summer holidays and read right through to the end of the ‘Z’ section. No I didn’t read EVERY book I judged them both by their covers and their blurbs. If it was an author I knew I read the books I hadn’t already read. I only brought home one of any book from each author that I liked the look of. I went back and grabbed the rest of their books if I enjoyed the first one I tried. I spent a lot of time at the library that summer. I didn’t want to have to carry too many books home so I would read in their massive story pit... surrounded by cushions and the comfort of books. I probably read 4-5 books each day (I used to be a fast reader). I recorded them and rated them too and then back to the library again on my bike for more. Lucky for me the library had a 30 book limit! It was through all this reading that I discovered American author Daniel Manus Pinkwater. One of only two authors I have ever felt compelled to write too. And he wrote me back! He sent me a postcard of the image to the right there. His books Borgel, Lizard Music, and The Last Guru were my favourite. The library didn’t have too many of his books- he is seriously prolific! His writing is quirky and totally weird- probably why I identified with it! I can remember four scenes quite clearly: From The Last Guru the scene with the giant popsicle running happily through the fields. From Lizard Music- the scene where after the television programming ends for the day the static is on and it clears to reveal a Lizard band walking on-stage and setting up their instruments and playing. And from Borgel the scene where they go into the black and white two dimensional land. And the one where Borgel is telling Melvin about his life in the Old Country. And his pet peach pit called Lance and how he traded a skunk squashed on a road for a kleenex and that for a pickle and eventually ended up with his own hat at 25. “You’re making this up right?” I asked Uncle Borgel “Every word. Why, you don’t like it?”

Let's Go Out To The Lobby! Made the dancing treats from photos I took and cut out from Mom's Diner. Gotta love the wiggle eyes!

This is one of my first "fairly accurate" machining jobs. It's a blank for a load cell. The block is 40 x 20 x 10 mm +/- 0.05 mm.

The backs of buildings are often so much more interesting than the fronts. I just liked the tones here.
I didn't do lost loves, I did long lasting love. These are my parents at their prom in 1959, their wedding in 1960 and at a party in 1979. They will be married 52 years this November. thanks
UP's LPA82 crew brings a CETSH-28 coal train northward through Port Washington at daybreak. Train originated at the East Thunder mine (the former Jacob's Ranch mine) on Thursday, and arrived Butler yesterday. The train waited in the Fonda siding until this morning, when an empty train came south from Sheboygan. In a couple hours, this train will be spotted at Alliant Energy's Edgewater Generation Station in Sheboygan.
