Being a mom is one of the best things you can ever do. Here's a cartoon celebrating moms... in honor of my Mom, whose birthday this was.

And here's a photo I found of her looking very glamorous:

Happy Birthday to Me (and Everyone Else Born on January 3)!

Some people have birthdays in May or June when everything is green and there's no competition from big name holidays to overshadow your special day. Not so, us who are born on January 3rd the traditional day of going back to school or work or where ever you go to uncelebrate once you're burned out on a month of celebrations. So unfair. And I especially have a month of celebrating to deal with. See chart below:

On the other hand, this is the cusp of a brand new year! Today, January 3rd, is just the beginning. We are on top! All those other events have a whole year before we get to them! Happy Birthday, Kyle and Brian. I know you know what I'm talking about.

Happy New Year!

10 Days of Home-Made Christmas Cards: Day 10

Merry Christmas y'all. A very special hohoho to the fabulous followers of this blog! Thank you! You give credibility to this place! The following card is this year's. The Koala is based on a Koala teddy bear I once had. Following the art is a photo. More on that at the end.

Now for the photo. This was taken at Sagamore Hill, Teddy Roosevelt's Long Island home, back when I was about 19. I asked the two Rangers, who were stationed there, to pose with me while I pretended to be apprehended for who knows what anymore and the Ranger on the left is holding my Koala. You can kind of make it out, there. It may be the only photo of it so look closely! Have a fabulous rest of the Christmas Day. Cheers!
