As promised...rocks from Zions.

This is 'Beaner' - better known as 'Ugly Cat'. She showed up at our house about six years ago and has never left. When she first arrived she had on a pretty pink collar. She is tough. She fights off racoons, bigger stray cats, dogs and who knows what else.

Zion's National Park

Can you see the tunnel opening in the rock wall? We drove through it and I loved it.
Me and my Dad sitting on a bench in The Narrows.
I'm in rock heaven. I brought home three cool rocks. I'll put a picture of them on this blog later.
We drove through Kolob Canyon on the way home. I matched up the signs to everything.

Hola Dad -

I got an Artist Trading Card in the mail today. Love You
Note from Mom: The title of this ATC is "Framed Tear" - Joe insists on viewing it this way - like it's an ascending balloon. I love Joe's world!

Artist Trading Cards.

Hello - I am trading "ATC's" with 8 other people. An ATC is an Artist Trading Card. They are small - 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". You can't sell them for money - only trade them. To start with I got heavy watercolor paper and brushed on yellow and red. Then the fun part was dripping paint onto the paper and blowing the drip around with a hairdryer. I cut the paper to the smaller size.

I had allready drawn these Mushroom People. They are called Toads. A Toad is a speciman from the Mushroom Kingdom in the Mario video games. They are very peaceful, wise, human-following, sapient (this is a component of intelligence considered to be an additional faculty apart from intelligence with its own properties - a cognizant aptitude - yes, my Mom helped with this one) personalities. There are eight main ones and that's how many I had drawn on my paper. I cut them out and glued them to my cards.

These are the cards with one of my artist signature cards. I DO love color. We don't give out all our information to be on the safe side.

This is the back with the title, my name, and the date. I will stick them in the mail to my 8 new friends and then I'll watch the mailbox for mine to come from them. I can't wait.

My favorite meal.

My favorite meal is chicken flavored Ramen noodles. Here's the recipe. First, smash the noodles in the pack to a small size. Add to 2 cups boiling water. Boil for 3 minutes. Drain and enjoy.
