I found something really cool to put in the girls' Easter baskets this year. They are two different kinds of pens.
The first ones are like a lava lamp, but inside a pen!
“What I didn’t realize was how many doors the act of writing unlocks, as if my Dad’s old fountain pen wasn’t really a pen at all, but some strange variety of skeleton key.”
I'm back! Well, maybe you didn't notice I have been gone awhile and not visiting. We lost all our power and internet over the weekend. I have hundreds of e-mails to go through now, but am so grateful for my computer back! I will see you shortly and catch up!
Every April, I see blue pinwheels around town. April is child abuse prevention month. Pinwheels represent childlike whimsy and lightheartedness and the vision for a world where all children grow up happy, healthy, and safe.

pinwheels serve as a hopeful, highly visible symbol that raises awareness,
sparks conversations, and reminds communities to protect children.
“Kindness can be the first safe place.”
Ever run into a dog with human hands? Kind of half dog half human.
“Some

Driving through the parking lot of Lowes in the dark, I had to take a second look. It was very dark, so pics are blurry.
WHAT? Once the driver went into Lowes, I was free to drive around it and take photos.
It had only ONE wheel in the back!
Fortunately, the name was written across it.
It was a Polaris Slingshot. It’s not a car, and it’s not a motorcycle.
It has no roof, doors, or side windows. The open interior is waterproof and can be hosed down and drained because it has drain holes in the floor.
It is classified as an autocycle in 49 states. In certain places, the driver and passenger must wear motorcycle helmets.
