Man is the only creature that dares to light a fire and live with it. The reason? He alone has learned to put it out.
~ Henry Jackson Vandyke, Jr.
If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what really throws you into a panic.

Every day this week, I've toyed with the idea of taking an afternoon nap. I'm thinking today may just be the day. I've been awake since 3:30 a.m., after getting about two hours of sleep.

Thank you, kindly, for all the nice comments (and sales!) on last week's crop of ACEOs. They're fun to make -- seeing my work in this mini-size is a kick and a half!

Winter's Over! ~ sigh ~
I had to turn the air conditioner back on a couple of days ago. Mid-70's today and for the next five or six days, at least-- warm enough for bare feet.
I am not amused!

Did anyone catch Tony Bennett's duet with Michael Buble on yesterday's "Oprah"? Two of my very favorite men -- one, w-a-y too old for me, and the other, w-a-y too young.
What's a girl to do?
