And no, I did not find this recipe on Pinterest! One thing most people probably don't know about Mark Tracy is that he was a pretty good cook. He wasn't afraid to try new things, and he used to say that presentation was everything. That should explain the above photo. All kidding aside (wait, is …

Kitty Acne

On April 5, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized16 Comments

Who would have ever thought? I don't mind telling you I have found this whole thing irritating, to say the least. As you can see by this pristine photo of my chin, I have never had kitty acne before. In fact, I had never heard of it until Mom started texting Aunt Gail, searching stuff …

A Year of Drawings

On April 1, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing, Uncategorized17 Comments

Because drawing always makes you feel better. Now that Foster and Panda have shared their "year of masks" with you, I thought I would share my "year of drawings". Because it hasn't only been about masks. This past year was one of changes, emotions, and new routines. And one of the best ways I have …

A Year of Masks

On March 30, 2021May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda10 Comments

"Panda!" I cautioned. "Don't touch the computer!" "It's okay, Bro," Panda replied. "I'm only looking at some old blog posts we helped Mom make." "Okay," I said, against my better judgment. "But don't get us stuck in the Amazon rain forest like you did last time!" "No worries," Panda replied reassuringly. "This time I'm only …

Purple Flowers and More

On March 20, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard12 Comments

I really wasn't in the mood to go outside. But I'm glad I did anyway. It was sunny after a day or two of rain, and I thought some Vitamin D was in order. I brought my phone out with me in case I saw anything I would want a picture of. Imagine my delight …

The Fireplace Mosaic

On March 9, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics24 Comments

"Gaudi-esque" That's a word I made up in response to a comment by Chris Hall from Luna's Online. She mentioned the famous architect and mosaic artist Antoni Gaudi (click here for Google images) in a comment on "Our House, Part 2". I replied that perhaps my house was getting a bit "gaudi-esque" with all the …

Newspapers From the Past, Part 1

On March 4, 2021July 16, 2024 By nanasworldwebIn family history12 Comments

Ludington Daily News The postcard on the left shows the Ludington Daily News building in the early 1900s. My grandfather, Emil, (the one typing) worked there for several years starting in 1913. There was also the Record Appeal, a weekly publication that would condense the main stories from the Daily News, and add other news …

Our House Part 2

On March 3, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard, Mosaics25 Comments

I knew my front step wasn't finished... It just seemed like it needed something more, so I decided to make a mosaic "welcome mat". I love being able to "mark up" photos to get ideas for how something might look. Here I was experimenting with the flower idea. Finally I was done, and laid it …

Before and After

On February 12, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard20 Comments

The other day I found the photos of our bathroom remodel of 2003. One of the things we did was to have a sliding door put in the wall between our room and the bathroom. And, no, we did not do this by ourselves. It was actually done by a friend who knows how to …

A Look Out the Window

On February 6, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard15 Comments

"So, what's out there?" Panda's question put an end to my reverie. I had been so absorbed in looking at the back yard that I'd forgotten all about him. "Well," I responded. "It's looking pretty good out there. I think it might almost be spring." "Oh, does this mean the groundhog did or didn't see …
