The Guitar Man

What occupies your time? This is what Michael has been doing lately. He opens up his laptop, pulls up the tablature to a song he wants to learn and sits down for a spell. He is glad he can read music because it allows him to concentrate on the fingering. He is proud of his calluses, too.




::::::::::::::::Working on Noah's Baptism Book::::

here is the cover to the book:


MSA NSD kit for 2008 with items from Kate Hadfield, Emily Merrit and Jacque Larsen,
Explore Solids by Catrine,
May BOYC bee trail by Jenna Desai, Kate Hadfield's New House Doodles,
Cindy Schneider's Sweet Shoppe template for the tree, Dawn Inskip and Heather Manning's collab Evitangel for the flowers and bird nest, Alpha from Art Nation Blossom by Emily Powers (modified with white paper by Jacque Larsen), Wordy Bits alpha by Kate Hadfield and Tiff Brady


::::::::::Weird Questions of the Day:::::

1. Have you ever laundred money?

2. Yes! If they leave it in their pockets, and I have to wash them, it's their own fault.

::::::::::Cub Scouts:::::

I'm helping out today for Cub Scout Day Camp. Noah is a bit miffed that I won't be with his group, but he is glad I'm coming. Yesterday, Noah made a really cool marshmallow gun that had a chamber for minature marshmallows so you don't have to reload after each one. He was hot and sweaty at the end of the day, but said he had a great time.

I've got to run and finish gathering the Day Camp Accoutrement: bug spray, sun screen, blankets, cooler and lunch!

Later, gators and take care! :)

Great layout!

Weird questions of the day: I had to chuckle, cuz there could actually be 2 answers to this 'Laundered money' question..lol...the funny, washing machine answer to which I say 'yes', and the other answer would be 'no', which is a good thing, or I'd have the cops at my door! LMBO

Have a great day!
