Cartoons

When I write letters to Joe in the army, I sometimes illustrate them:) Here are a couple of my cartoons:
(I've been writing on neon colored paper lately... sorry for the color haha.)



I found this amazing youtube channel -> http://www.youtube.com/user/LDsongscreen#g/p that has tons of old folk songs on it and the lyrics scroll down the screen with the guitar chords next to them. I think I played for over an hour with Lew last night. His voice is a little deep for my register, so I was singing all the harmony parts. Lovely way to spend an evening.

(The lyrics are from M*A*S*H's version of "Gee but I want to go home" from the My Darling Clementine episode- I was very happy when I found the chords...)



I recently rediscovered my Talking Mother Goose! She used to read me bedtime stories when my parents got tired of reading book after book:) My cousin Chad and I told my poor sister that she talked because there's a ghost trapped inside of her and now Claire is terrified of talking toys ha! Here is a conversation between Claire and I:

Me: I dug out Mother Goose and put batteries in her. She looks like you punched her in the mouth. Her top beak is a bit askew from the bottom...
Claire: It's because she couldn't quite swallow the last kid she ate...
Me: HA!
Claire: It's the truth! She should be buried.

After I am done listening to all my tapes and books I think I'm going to go place her lovingly in Claire's bedroom in a spot that it looks like she's watching her bed:)




I recently bought a few records from the thrift store and among them is one of Strauss Waltzes, which I love! I couldn't help conducting with a pencil and dancing in my seat while I whistled along. Makes working a little more enjoyable:)
