Block-A-Day 85 – Flat Stanley
When I made this Block it made me think of the children’s book series, Flat Stanley. I know Flat Stanley books have inspired school projects involving a flat cut-out of a child that gets mailed all over.
Block-A-Day 84 – The Construction Site Big Boy
When I saw this block my first thought was back to a book I read my children and still read my grandchildren called, Are You My Mother? It’s about a baby bird that hatches in his nest while his mother is away and he sets out to find her.
Block-A-Day 83 – Slow!
When my husband was faced with a situation like that he would just sit there. Sometimes I didn’t think he even heard me and I would feel impatient wanting some action on his part. I finally said at one point “What are you waiting for?” He looked at me and said “Sometimes you just have to sit and think for 5 *@#x!!+ minutes!.”
Block-A-Day 82 – Road Work Ahead
As I was preparing this block I thought how many times I have had signals or warnings about situations in my life that I ignored. I find myself not ready for a situation where I need to be more flexible or forgiving or patient.
Block-A-Day 81 – Italian Cypress Trees
They are an unusual planting in That Town. Seems an anonymous donor gave the money to the town council with the specific instructions that Italian Cypress be planted.
Block-A-Day 80 – Sore Thumb Tools
Sore Thumb Tools was highly anticipated and has been met with open arms. Everyone goes in to check with Angelo before they start a project. He decided on Sore Thumb Tools because of an accident he had on the job.
Block-A-Day 79 – Drop In The Bucket Paint
My favorite color is orange, especially this shade of orange. In fact, the front door to my store is painted this color. I’m thinking about painting my door at home orange too. What’s your favorite color? How does it make you feel?
Block-A-Day 78 – My Barbaric Yawp
His wife is a unique person and one of her claims to fame is that 20 or so years ago she was on The Tonight Show because she had a duck that would eat cottage cheese out of her mouth. (YouTube video in post)
Block-A-Day 77 – Thanks A Latte!
I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was 55. There are a lot of us that think of that perfect cup of coffee in the morning. I don’t drink a lot of coffee but I sure like that morning cup. For me, it means hot chocolate powder mixed into my coffee and cream.
Block-A-Day 76 – Sell It Quick Realty
When I was in the 6th grade we lived in Denver for a couple of years. During that time my mother’s favorite thing to do was to go to open houses. So at least twice a week we loaded up and went to look at houses.
