I went through about 250 little candy bars, 80 rice crispy treats, 48 pencils and two big bags of balloons last night. It was so much fun! I only have a small amount left, so hopefully hubby won't make himself sick on it. Im getting ready to go up to the studio and unload the kiln. I always dread it because I'm almost…

Good morning! It was raining here ALL DAY yesterday, which made for a pretty dreary day. And cold too. I guess this means summer is over? I spent the entire day glazing yesterday and got the kiln loaded. Fingers crossed that I get some bowls I'm not ashamed of. There are 45 bowls in this load. We drove to Joplin last night…

Sorry I've been missing a lot lately. So much going on! Yesterday I had a ton of drafting to do, and it was all needed ASAP, or so they said. Last night was gymnastics and then watched the world series. Today I have a ton of bowls to glaze and get the kiln going, then piano lessons after school, then homework. Then from…

Watching the World Series! Fun, fun, fun! Busy day drafting. That's good. I was afraid I wouldn't have anything to bill for this month. It rained all day, but not very hard. Gotta go, the Royals need me. Good night! Sylvia

Good Morning! I've been busy this morning already. I took the little ones to school, went to the studio and loaded the kiln, then went to walk with my friend. Now I'm getting ready to go to the dentist in Joplin for a cleaning and go to Sam's club. I think I'll be able to make it back in time to pick up the kids from…

Janet, I think autocorrect changed OKC in your signature to OLD. It would have been really funny if your post wasn't so serious. It's awful about the parade. Drunk driving in the middle of the day? Could it have anything to do with tailgating and homecoming? It just boggles the mind, the level of destruction from one…

By the way...I stopped at a garage sale yesterday and found two nice pairs of jeans, one Levis and one Lees, both were size 14, for $2 each. I held them up and thought, yeah, I think I can fit in those. Brought them home and yes! They fit! I'm wearing one of them now. The Levis sit a little lower on the hips than I'm used…

Good morning! Thank you all for you kind words. This has to be the best group on the Internet. Last night hubby and I attended the memorial service for my friend who passed away. It was very nice. I was afraid there wouldn't be many people there but the room was practically full. His wife and I had set up a large display…

Mary, I don't pray, but I can hope really, really hard and send good thoughts. How scary for everyone! Heather, it was interesting that you suggested looking at why I would rather give stuff away than sell it. I suppose part of it is low self worth - that I feel like the stuff I make has no value. (My own father once…

Does this look comfortable to you?

Terri and Irish Terri - thanks! Those pinched rim forms are my favorite to make, but they are very thin and prone to cracking so I lose a lot of them. But when they work they make my heart just sing! Trouble is, not many other people like them, so they don't sell well. Too bad. I will continue to make them anyway. I'm only…

Good morning everyone! I'm skipping walking with my friend this morning. Every joint in my body aches. We are supposed to get rain today, so maybe that's part of the problem. The headache is still with me this morning. Hubby took the little ones to gymnastics last night and I went to bed about 6:30 and did't get up till…

Mary, my headache is toward the front, behind the eyes mostly. I don't have a fever or cough, so I don't think it's menningitis. I do have an odd soreness in my jaws though. I wondered about it being heart related, but I really don't think so. Now that I've been throwing pots for a couple of hours, it feels a little…

Good morning everyone. I'm not feeling too great this morning. The headache I've had for a few days has gotten worse. I feel queasy and my head and jaws are aching. Even my hair hurts. If I don't feel better soon I'm going home and back to bed. I went to the store early and got the kids some hand sanitizer to use at…

Hello everyone! I've been fighting a battle this morning. My son e-mailed and asked if I would buy him a new external hard drive because he broke the one he has. He stores all the kids shows, movies, games etc on it. He saw that NewEgg had one in their e-mail ad for $39. So, I went round and round trying to order it. My…

Hello. It's been a roller coaster of a day for me. I have a friend who had pancreatic cancer, along with a long list of other serious maladies. He went into the hospital Thursday with pneumonia in both lungs. Well, today his wife e-mailed to say that the doctors said his organs were shutting down and he was not expected to…

Found on Facebook this morning.

Grits, We use some doggie candy - little yogurt drops - to get the dogs in their crates at night. They love those things so much they just run right in the crate at bedtime an wait for their treat. Works like a charm. We don't use those treats for anything else, so they are special. Just for bedtime. You might find…

Last night we went to a chamber music concert on campus. It was wonderful! It was a professional group called Kremlin from (where else) Russia. They played amazingly well, and chose some very beautiful pieces of classical music. They they did THREE encores. One was a piece by Gershwin during which one of the violinists…

Joyce, when she was adding fractions with different denominators she was multiplying the denominators to make them the same but then just brought over the original numerator. I was trying to explain to her that you have to multiply the numerator too and she told me, "grandma, that must be the old way to do it, but this is…

Sylvia, has your DS always been so hard about letting you participate in the girls lives? It seems he is more than willing to allow you to do everything for them and him until it comes to voicing an opinion on problems or discipline. Maybe I’m reading too much into it? I just hate it for them and you. Did he never share…

Gayle, no, I didn't make my own pumpkin butter. I used ready made pumpkin butter from Trader Joes. I just took their recipe and simplified it.

Carol, WOW! Amazing that he survived! Sorry the truck didn't. Here's a very funny cat video from Facebook. Don't drink anything when you watch it or it will squirt out your nose. https://www.facebook.com/AwkwardAnimalMoments/videos/127094340829094/

I'm sorry for jumping right to the end, but I had such a wonderful day I just have to tell you before I burst wide open! Today I called my son and asked if he could pick up the younger two and let me pick up Adrienne. I said I would take her to my studio and I would help her with her homework. I said I would do that every…

Terri, we have a Chuck-it around here somewhere but can't find it. I'm going to buy another one, then I'll find it for sure. My arm is getting sore! Tonight Spot was so exhausted that he laid down at my feet, panting hard, with one leg up in the air and his precious tennis ball still in his mouth. It was so cute! Wish I…

Hi again! Today was another busy day here. I had to take the van to the service department because the back hatch won't stay up. They had to order the part so I have to go back on Friday. Then went to lunch with two friends, then to Pet Smart, then to another store where I discovered my phone was missing. I retraced my…

Good morning! I woke up early, got ready to go take the kids to school and walk with my friend. Just as I picked up my keys I realized they didn't have school today because it's Columbus Day, and found that my friend messaged me saying she was in Louisville and wouldn't be back till tomorrow. So, I tried to go back to…

Busy day today, and a trumpet concert tonight. I'm pooped. Good night all! Sylvia
