Hard Boiled Faces

These hard boiled eggs cracked. I thought an illustration would cheer them up.

Coffee Coffee Coffee on the label label label...

At this risk of "over-explaining" (which I notice never clarifies despite the volume) I'll ask if you remember the jingle for Libby's frozen veggies. "If it says Libby's Libby's Libby's on the label label label....."

The tune to this jingle rattles around in my brain pan as I look at the homemade label for the jar of coffee grinds I take to the office (refilled this morning).

Mugging with a mug

Cheers!

Fresh ground coffee in a handmade mug made by a friend (and "real live" potter) make for a happy face.

Will a ribbon or a poppy suffice?

Remember?

Rick Mercer has it right. He usually does. He says it as succinctly and as sardonically as it  can be said. To remember means more than merchandizing (poppies or ribbons). What a tragedy that people come home from war wounded or suffering from PTSD. What a calamity that these same people are denied health care, pension, or other assistance so they can try to get some semblance of a life back as civilians--now coping with a disability. Meanwhile check out the benefits package a legislator gets (pick a country any country...the idea's probably the same).

Getting Away from it all...well some of it.

Signs of "civilization"

Someone will mistakenly think I'm implying that astronauts are messy. Not. I am coming right out and saying that some people are slobs.  Hiking in a scenic place and coming across detritus from a junk food binge really is a nature-buzzkill. Don't get me started on people who throw trash from their cars because they want to keep their ride clean.

Can it REALLY be possible that some people don't know better? How sad. What if people really DO know better? Beyond sad.

Wait for it...wait for it...

Once the snow  falls, I will be the first to fly down this mountain

Flakes and flurries so far. We're told the 'real stuff' is coming. Some eagerly await it. Some of us....well let's say we await it less eagerly.

So it's Friday...what ya gonna do this weekend?

For the blog's birthday this week, I gave it a bit of a face lift--tweaking  colors, mostly. One thing I wanted to add but couldn't was a background drawing (file was too big). Oh well.
