Everyone that knows me knows that I am a word game freek so when It comes to Bookworm I am out of control and since I have no one yelling at me to go to bed at 3:00am I can become obsessed. Now I think I have meet someone who is worse than me, now Dick from Dropdeaddick.com has thrown down the gauntlet and if it take forever to beat that obscene score, I will. Look out, I will forever be in his rear view mirror. Be weary Dick, be very weary.

Friends come and friends go, the ones that stay around through the good times and the bad time, the ones who you can disagree with vehemently and after a day, a week, a month (you get the idea) are drawn back to each other no mater what was said or done, those are the friends you hold onto for dear life. So to my friend JoAnn whom I have called friend for twenty six years, life can sometimes be rough and lately it has decided that it is your time to be picked on. We have all been there, so I say to you, it will get better. Now having said this, remember all the fun and goofy things we have said and done during our friendship, well I want you to because I am going to post one of my favorite photos of you. You looked so happy and to be fair I am going post one of me that was taken at the same time. I know you are going to say couldn’t you find a better photo and I say “No”, we were having a blast and look how happy you looked. So this is my friend JoAnn, who I miss very much. Get well soon and I will see you soon.

Told you it was an addiction, the Artist Trading cards I mean, I only needed to make two to give back to my sister Connie but of course anyone that knows me knows that I have reached double digits by now and still going. Just for fun I thought I would show you a couple of them but mostly I am sending them to my Stamping Group. Hope you enjoy them.

Now most people know that one of my passions is photography, now I am not the best at it but I love doing it. Most of the time the pictures come out pretty good but every once in a while something goes wrong. Like I take a perfect picture and some thing is not right. Now as you know I love animals any and all kinds. So I have this picture of some dear that is very nice except there is a fence running across the photo. I have never had to remove something from a photo (because of course I am such a wonderful picture taker ), so I decide to use Adobe to remove the unwanted fence, now I have never done this before but have a friend who can use that clone tool to perfection so I figure how hard can it be. How hard?!!!!!! After three hours I am ready to pull my hair out and I still have deer with a fence line running though them because no matter what I do you can see the clone marks on the deer, grass is ok but the deer, oh my!! Needless to say I need a lot of practice or better yet make sure nothing get in there that don’t belong. So below is two pictures one of the dear with the fence, the reason I like it so much is it shows without question why they are called white tail deer and also I like the whole tongue thing on the other deer. So below is my half cloned photo, which I will continue to work on and maybe at a later date I will be brave enough to show you. Plus one of the same deer without the fence.

We have an update, Apple is eating!! She has not been feeling the best and has had us all I little worried. After a new tank, another light that makes four,changing the bedding, buying live plants adding moss that we spray with water four or five times a day, soaking her twice a day in her new larger lagoon, a heating pad under her tank. She comes out of her hide box looks around and decides that she is going to eat the moss, now tortoise eating moss dose not sound like a big deal but you see we have bought all kinds of greens, veg, fruit and she has refused to eat.We have gotten all kinds of information from everybody, tank not hot enough, tank to hot, not enough humidity to much it goes on and on. Today Apple decided to fix the problem her self and eat her special salad. Bottom line is, whatever we did worked and she is eating. My personal impression is that she is just like any other woman and she was on a diet!!!

What is the punishment for Blog theft? My grandson just pirated the picture I took of him and my son and sent it to his blog, before I could post it to my blog. Now I know I am new to this Blog thing, but there are rules and I am sure picture pirating must be covered somewhere by the Blog Department or such. Like his Grandfather always said, what go around comes around.
So William, revenge is sweet!!!!!

This is the biggest and best part of my world.
My daughter, Hope and her children Isabella (Isa, but I prefer Bella) who is just getting ready to set the world on fire, she just turned 16 and Roberto (Berto) who is the next Eddie Van Halen.
My Son Bill and his children William Daniel III ( after his Grandfather, but we call him Billy, he is the next Bill Gates ) and Sarah( our budding artist, trust me some day she will be famous).
Slowly but surely you will meet the rest of my world and since I have 9 brothers and sisters and they all have kids and those kids have kids it may take some time.
