Stories from someone just fumbling through
Welcome to my first art show! It's from now until the end of April at the Lansing Community Library. I had a lot of fun revisiting my past work for this show and also creating some new things. I hope people can see it in person but if you can't, I've included images of everything… Continue reading Lansing Community Library Art Show
Last month my mother and I joined the hoards of others who enjoy all things artsy fartsy at Syracuse's City Market. (I will leave out the part of her almost killing us by driving the wrong way down a one way road into oncoming traffic.) The market relocated this year to the Everson Museum's community… Continue reading The Everson Museum
Here's a true story that I recently shared on Jim Harold's Virtual Campfire and I thought I'd share it here as well... Here's some background to keep in mind: When I was thirteen, my sister died of cancer. She was 23 at the time. I'm now 41 years old. Well about six months ago, I… Continue reading A Ghost Story
Yesterday was the mega controversial inauguration day of Donald Trump and today was the Women's March on Washington. There were also local marches that I could have attended, but I've just been so conflicted about world issues of late that I just want to seek what little peace I can find. Despite being hung over, when a friend offered… Continue reading The Herbert F. Johnson Museum

This summer, I took a break from craft shows to enjoy flea markets and to also rebuild a teardrop camper that I can use as a pop-up shop. With the teardrop, I'll be able to travel to craft events farther away and perhaps even go back out to Yellowstone in Summer 2017. One can dream!… Continue reading My Most Impossible Feat!
This is very late in the making but I thought I'd share it. Last October, I went on an overnight stay to Cooperstown, New York with my mother and we had an incredible time. It's amazing how refreshed you can feel after getting away for just a night. I love Cooperstown, especially in the fall… Continue reading Haunted History in Cooperstown
Well since I didn't do any blogging in 2015, I didn't expect much as far as stats goes. I'm not sure what happened to my blog...What happened blog? Where'd you go? I guess I just didn't have too much to report. Now, I know that's not true but maybe after the whirlwind that's been my… Continue reading My Blogging 2015 in Review…Yikes!
Well, my favorite part of having a blog is receiving the yearly stats. For not having posted in a while, I must say that I was delighted with the results. My blog was viewed 3,500 times, with 411 views in one day. Yow! I posted an average of two pictures a day and folks from… Continue reading 2014 in review
My field partner and I had fantastic luck this year with finding the unfindable. Seriously. Just like the salamanders hanging out in the Observation wetland, Mary Bay was even more of an unexpected surprise. There are only a handful of wetlands in the Park that have all four amphibian species and we were able to add… Continue reading Yellowstone: Mary Bay
