In case you haven't noticed... I have been on a "mosaic roll" for awhile now. Awhile back I went outside to organize my "tesserae". (Don't you just love that word? It sounds so...well, artistic.) You've seen my outdoor mosaics and my "work station" on the patio. I can pretty much stay out here for hours …
Fact or fiction? Hi all, it's me, Foster, here to address the age-old question: "Do cats get bored?" Mom started thinking about it when she took this picture of me the other night. She was working on a mosaic at the kitchen table, and she happened to look up and here I was. She thought I …
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house...nor any thing that is thy neighbor's." Exodus 20:17 But what if they're having a yard sale?I think I've mentioned (more than) a few times that I have gotten some really good deals from my two neighbors' yard sales.

"Hey Foster, check this out!" I awoke to Panda's voice and realized he was trying to climb into the rocking chair with me. "Dude!" I responded sleepily. "What happened to your fatigues?"Panda's voice was muffled. "Mom thought they were getting too worn out so she made me some overalls while you were napping.""Whoa, she did …

"...His strength is in the clouds." - Psalm 68:34 I have always liked Psalm 68:34. The whole text is "Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds." It's easy to see God's handiwork throughout nature, but especially when you look at awesome cloud formations.On the way …
You've heard the phrase "You can't be too rich or too thin," right? Well, I have never agreed with either part of that saying, and neither have Foster and Panda. But there are some things you definitely can't have enough (or too many) of, and we will be addressing that here. You can see if …
What to get that little girl for Christmas? Doll clothes, of course! I've been reading up a little bit about WordPress and its capabilities for online sales. And since I have so many 18-inch doll clothes in my sewing room, waiting for the opportunity to become part of "Debra Kay's Online Doll Clothes Emporium" (heretofore …
So my neighbor was having this yard sale... I get the best stuff from my neighbors and their yard sales! So much so that I seriously have a folder of pictures on my computer, waiting to be made into a blog post about it. But for now, let's just start with the glass vase.I actually …
You may have seen this before... It's from Foster and Panda's adventure, "Safari", when Foster wanted to go to Africa to visit his big cat relatives.
