Tuesday Musings #22

We are children of a God of creation and a God of compassion. We are to emulate these traits. What do you create? Or, what would you like to create?

I have always enjoyed creating visually pleasing or interesting things. I especially love working with color. Here is a small gallery of something old (an onion I painted years ago), something new ( a necklace I made last week), something borrowed (I borrowed a picture one of my family members took of my greatest creations) and something blue - hey does that sound familiar?

If you were going to live in a third world country for a few years what would you hope to learn or experience?

I would want to learn to cook some local food. Especially bread. I am always fascinated by the huge variety of food people make basically out of ground grain and water (I know that simplifies things, but you get my point).


I would also like to push the boundaries of cuisine by trying something I would never imagine eating at home, but I wonder if I would have the courage?

Tuesday Musings #20

Something nobody* knows about me is…


I wish I could cut my hair in a pixie cut!

This is how I would do it, too, with longish eighties bangs - so cute!!!

At least I think so, but...

Stan would hate it, and I hate growing hair out, so I guess not.

*Sometimes (no comments from siblings on how frequently, please), I am kind of dorky. I thought and thought about something nobody knew about me and finally came up with something and was so excited about the thought that I told a friend Tuesday night at Mutual, so technically, someone knows this, but it is recent knowledge and I have so few secrets (living with six siblings as a child and seven offspring now) that I'm sticking with my semi-secret longing for a pixie cut!
