Oops. This was outside my place of employment last week. The city is replacing the water main and will eventually be replacing the street. Unfortunately, we still have to work and businesses still have to stay in business. We all felt a little sorry for this poor truck driver as I'm sure he had no… Continue reading If you get stuck…
Who Knew? Did You Know About Environmental Performance?

Einstein’s Graduation!
Hi Again! I know you all have been anxiously waiting to hear about Einstein. This is one of the reasons I haven't posted in a while.

I Didn’t Win, Painting #9
Hi Friends!, It's been a few weeks and I have to inform you that I did not win the painting competition I entered.

I have loved drawing and painting all my life (not that great at it but love it non-the-less) so last week I signed myself up for an Oil Painting class at the local community college. I think it has been about 10 years since… Continue reading My New Adventure in Oil Painting
