Car Talk

I had my chauffeur (aka Kyle) pick me up a one scout meeting last night to take us to another scout meeting. His windshield was filthy!

You really should clean that.
I'm out of the squirty stuff.
Windshield wiper fluid.
Yeah, that. Where do you get it?

So after our meeting, we stopped at Walgreens and picked up a gallon. Then I had him pop the hood.

How do I do that?
Look down near the brake, around near the side. That thing with the picture of your car, pull that.
Okay, now what.
Feel under the hood, find the lever, pull up and lift.
Here?
No, (taking his hand) here.
Okay.

So we popped the hood. Then a search for the resevoir. It was nicely labeled. And in goes the fluid. An entire gallon.

Wow, it took all of it.
Yeah, you were dry.
Yeah.
You really should read your car manual.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Can you say Spring!

Delving into Digi Scrapping and CS4

I've been intrigued by digi scrapping, and have been collecting materials for months now. I recently started some classes with digi scrap goddess Jessica Sprague. Here's my first attempt. (Katie is doing this with me too - she's miles ahead of me!)

The Stockings Were Hung....

by the chimney with care. I grew up in one of the snowiest places in the country. And yet, we didn't have a fireplace. It wasn't until I moved to the far south (Texas) that we had one. Then again in California and Virginia. And so, as a child the stockings were just laid at the foot of the tree. Stockings at our house now are hung from the mantle, with a variety of stocking hangers. We often have six or more. One for each of us (yes, adults included) and leftovers for the cats or whoever might be visiting. Santa fills the stockings when he comes by on Christmas Eve. He usually leaves little gifts and sometimes candy. After they're filled, he leaves them on the hearth. Kyle and Katie are allowed to peak in stockings when they first wake up. They usually get Harvey and I before they get down to the serious opening.
