    Smarrty, Oh my, Ds is on the world class level, you must be so proud. Twenty questions --kind of? When did he show the interest?. How did you support it--mind and money?  Was his interest an early or late development i.e child, teens, early adulthood?

    Explains why he can just pick up and go to Australia. He can do his art anywhere.

    Where did he study? Any mentors? What's he think of House of Bauhaus? Frank Loyyd Wright? My two favorites. I.M  Pie? Another favorite. He obviously can create any design concept that he wants----and creates his own--oh my..............

    We so wish our children do right. Your DS is going to be historical, WHAT FUN.

    Houses that have his designs will be listed  as ":______  X(whatever he created)by his name. Even in a future time if the property is torn down to put up a high rise or make a parking lot, his iron work will be salvaged and auctioned as a work by DS.

    Well, Smarrty-----Oh girl-----Oh my----FUN

    Went to lunch today, we were talking so much we forgot to eat--Gifted the glass to Dear Cousins(DC) daughter. Dear cousin said she wouldn't be interested b/c she is a minimalist. DC's DD was thrilled. She  said with great warmth that when she used them she would think of me. Caught her mom right of guard.

    To thrifters this next thing is ROTFLOL--DC's Dh Has been againsts all the gifting to DC. DC's DH is not happy when I bring in a box.

    At The end of the visit, he whispered "No more, we have enough".......a few seconds later he said

     " If you can find any chairs like this?"

    Mama -----I worked at Akron General-AGMC----Had much contact with Akron Childrens----superlative hospital.....always they were away ahead on children's care. One of the superlative features was they were in contact with other hospitals to seek out answers----loved that-----what do you feel about what's going on?

    Mama-"kids'" hospital in Akron is amazing. As was AGMC  and ACH. The three hospitals were so innovative and competitive. Which lead to so much.

    Again what I loved about "kids' was it's wiliness to seek out others knowledge. Way ahead of the time. Chidrens  hospitals are not territorial. They would direct to other facilities if the need was there.

    Goodness, lots to catch up on. Greetings all!

    Chevy--I sometimes get into with my mom. And sometimes she and I step on each other's toes. I know I have hurt her feelings at times. But I always feel sorry about that later and I'm really grateful for my mom. Even when my pride gets in the way of listening to her wisdom, deep down I am listening more than she knows. I'm sure that you got through to your dd more than you know. And I'm sure that no matter what, she loves you. That's my daughter to mom perspective. As for me being the mom--when I have something to say, I say it. I don't care if my kid thinks I'm putting my nose where it doesn't belong. I know I'm speaking out of love and I'd rather share my thoughts and hope it helps, than keep my mouth shut and risk not saying something they needed to hear. In other words, I think you are a loving mom who did the right thing by speaking up. I'm sorry it went sour. You don't deserve their reactions. I hope everything smooths over soon.

    Smaarty--I am loving the metal art pics. I especially love the banister(?) with the fan-like pattern in it. Beautiful.

    Jazzy--Have a wonderful trip.

    Going to try to actually sleep tonite. Sweet dreams everyone. :)

    Morning gals! Thanks Mombie.... I know... DD and I are totally opposite. I was always the quiet one growing up... and never said anything back to anyone, because my Brother and I would get spanked.... even when we would tell Mom..."We just saw Dad's car at Tony's"....(a bar) Hah!

    Dad would always stop there on his way home after work... or at his "friends" house... But Mom would start screaming at him the minute he walked through the door... And we would run, but always get caught and get spanked for telling... Or she would spank us for something, and then would tell Dad what we did, and HE would spank us again.... AND the dog, because he would go nuts when they hit us....

    It's kind of funny now, because we lived through it... :).... But that's why I would never argue, or fight, or even raise my voice when we had kids, because I knew how much it hurt the kids.. I just always thought we were the happiest family, even though the drinking became a major problem.... I thought I was handling it.... but it left bad memories with the girls.

    So I hear about it from the oldest one... What I SHOULD have done.... at least when she is mad about something....... But I just did what I thought was best, at the time.

    Just makes you feel like crawling back in the little mouse hole..... like I did when I was a kid....

    MammaRay... Hope your little guy is doing better.... Sass really knows what she is talking about.... I sometimes print off what she says, so I can refer to it later...

    Smarty! I can't believe how talented your whole family IS!!!! That is a God-given gift, and should be admired by EVERYone.... I can hardly connect two lines, much less draw anything recognizable!

    Most people do not have the imagination nor the talent to put it down on paper.... I'm amazed....!

    mammaray. Glad to hear your lik one is going to be ok.

    Whew made it they the not so much sleep - sleepover. Ds1 and ds2 had a blast. I hung Til around 11pm. My personal latest in months. Course he was to busy with friends to notice me much. Dh took over after that. No idea when things slowed down. I just woke up and most if the boys are up already. Raring to go. Wish I had that energy. Actually feeling better today after some activity yesterday. Went to bed with all kinda of muscles crying fowl. But doing much better now.

    What's everybody up to today ?

    Hottie hoo

    MammaRay- I am glad they are figuring things out for your son, but sorry your son's doc would not listen to you. I hope they get things treated and he is feeling better soon. I also hope you are able to take care of yourself as best you can during this stressful time.

    more laughter in our house than in a long time. Yes ! So glad dh and I sucked it up and had the party / sleepover. Gotta do it more for the boys. You can just see the stress completely melt off their faces. When only ds1 and 1 other friend was up ds1 came and woke me up on the couch to snuggle. He was very thankful. Wow that felt good. Corse he didn't stay long didn't want to be embarrassed

    hi, I am so happy to see how busy you are but very hard for me too keep up lol I just want to say the nail thing it's terrible I had very strong chemo they put my feet and my hands on ice during my chemo hour and my nails still came off not all but the ones that didn't were in a lot of pain.. Yes they eventually grew back and now very strong but different texture and even form.

    Also the picture with the owls group hug, is the mom owl fake? Omg it look like a fake owl lol

    Hope you all have a wonderful weekend It is the first day of spring and it's cold here I wanted to walk by the lake but doing indoor exercise instead
