Mexican Folkart

My sister moved to Atlanta. She wants the kitchen in her new house to be like a mexican cantina. So I found an interesting folk art picture using Google. I freehand drew on brown craft/wrapping paper with a Sharpie, using the picture as a guide. Then I crumpled up the brown paper to make it look old. And then I painted and varnished it.

Fan!

Moms know it is all fun and games unless your baby is on the field!

And what a game! Down by 7-20 at the half. By the middle of the third quarter it looked bad at 7-34. Then the boys came roaring back. Score! Score! And Score again! It was 28-34, with less than two minutes left in the game. Tied it up at 34-34 with less than a minute left. Kicked the extra point to make it 35-34 and stopped their last drive to win. It was REALLY exciting!

Nice double chin...but ya know when I have my mouth open that wide...my neck gets in the way!

Victory

Another battle won in the war against beige. Love the beach-y color of "Ocean Blue". Looks good with the white. But I probably need a prettier shower curtain.

Gardening Success

Love our neighbors use of containers. It has been really dry this summer. Watering in one hundred degree heat is not much fun. So this is a fun idea to use a lot less to water and spray painting inexpensive metal buckets give a splash of color.


Cletus planted these interesting succulent plants. They have taken off and are starting down the stairs. Love the tiny red flowers. Almost cactus like.

Friday's Game

Well, it was a blow out from the very first play. Very depressing. I felt so bad for the guys. They have been working for nine months and to have it blow up in their faces...ugh!

At least Buddy was having a good time...
