Hi everyone! Foster here, with an update on Mom's Sea Animals project! I have to say this project seems to be taking forever, but she says she's coming in for a landing, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Not sure what all that means, but she said I could do this …
The Blue Chairs Sometime around 2014, a friend texted me a screenshot and said "You're on Google Earth!"

Over the summer, a friend gave me a teacup. It was her favorite teacup, but it had cracks in it and couldn't be used anymore. Since I was getting into mosaics made out of broken china and stoneware, she said maybe I could break it and use it for something. I knew I wasn't going …

I bring this up because of Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian detective who routinely caresses his luxuriant "mustaches". It got me thinking... that Hercule Poirot has nothing on me and my "mustaches"!So Mom said I could do …
