Chunky Bling and Masterpieces

Rick made it home on time last night. He was booked on the last flight into Abilene and that flight regularly get delayed or canceled. We were on the greener side of the fence yesterday.

Tonight when Rick left the house to go to our pump house on North Lake Anson he found a turtle on our sidewalk. I got him some spinach leaves and Rick painted a white "X" on the top of his shell. It's the Kirschner way of tagging a wild animal. Highly scientific, no?!

Today Katie and I spent the morning decorating terra cotta pots. The other day we were in Wal-Mart and they already had potted plants in the greenhouse. I picked out two fuchia cyclamen and Katie picked out a yellow primrose. Along with the pots, we purchased scrapbook paper and Mod Podge. We cut out various shapes from the paper and glued them on with the Mod Podge. We also painted a coat of Mod Podge on the completed pots to ensure our hard work stays on the pot for a few summers. We still have one more pot to go. Perhaps tomorrow. I like doing art projects with Katie. The fact that she likes doing artsy things really warms my heart. I am thankful that my artist talent that I got from my father also resides in Katie. An added bonus is that Katie is a good artist and shows advanced talent for her age. Katie gets so excited about doing art with Mum-Mum. Her little steel trap of a mind won't let go of the project. Friday, she continuously asked me when we were going to decorate our pots. It was like a broken record player. I will take a picture when we replant the plants in their fancy schmancy pots. Another masterpiece that Katie created yesterday was a card for me. The pictures that she drew were detailed and very creative. She even drew Spongebob, which looked like him, and his friends. She also drew hearts. That is the first time I have seen her do that..

Last week I entered a contest sponsored by Chunky Bling which entailed me suggesting a name for a new ring. I got an email yesterday informing me that I was a runner up and my prize is a free ring. I don't often win contests so I am feeling pretty special. I believe that they run contests quite often, so check their site out at www.chunkybling.com

Well, that is the low down on the excitement at Corinth West. I know, I know. How do we keep up the chaotic, busy schedule? (Yeah, right.) Good night reader(s). We will talk again soon . . . or rather I will
talk at you . . . or rather I will type to you. Whatever. It is late.
