At church we sing a chorus that says, "Never will a rock cry out in my place, He's worthy of all my praise!" This refers to the scripture in Luke 19:37-40 that describes what we now celebrate as Palm Sunday, or Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The Pharisees told Jesus to keep His disciples from worshipping Him …
Since I recently got Foster the Kitten, I decided it was time to pull out my cat drawings... Most of these are from photos that I found online while searching "cute cats" or "cute kittens" images. Since at the time I didn't know you weren't supposed to draw from a photo by someone else without crediting that …
Okay people, do I have a story to tell you! And yes, Mom said I could do another post because I was so good at the vet! Yup, that's what I said, the VET. Who knew that you had to get shots and see if you have worms...this is not for the faint of heart. Just …
What is is about keys anyway? If there is one thing it seems we hate to throw away, it's an old key. And the funny thing is that we are at the point of throwing it away only because we have no clue what it goes to anymore. But yet it has to go into …
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Foster, and I'm taking a moment to help Nana (I actually call her Mom) out with her blog. When I first heard she had a blog, I thought she said "dog", so I was quite relieved to find out it's just some computer stuff. It sounds easy …

Do you know what animals do when you're not looking? Well, neither do I, but I can always use my imagination! In the summer of 2011, when my granddaughter was about 8 years old, she and I sat for hours creating animal playgrounds. She provided the ideas, and I drew them. Here they are, not …
A friend of mine has what I consider a real life whimsical garden. She has a very small area to work with but has done an incredible job making this tiny space into a whimsical wonderland. Here are some pictures of her garden, followed by some more "whimsical garden" drawings. Do you see the similarities? …
What could be more whimsical than pandas and penguins? I often think that God must have had fun when He was creating the animals. Don't you think He tried out different shapes, sizes, and color patterns until He got each one the way He wanted it? Now, I know He could have made each one …
This post will give you an idea of how artwork can help you get through an uncomfortable time in your life. These are my first notebooks from 2011, the year when everything changed for us. I have notebooks like this from as far back as 2005 but what I noticed in looking through them is that until …
