A Lemony Snicket Life It Is!

 The title of this Blog says it all.  I am sure that there are those of you out there that feel the same way.

I have told my Adult children that the Wand I used for the last half century, is some where that the sun no longer SHINES!

Having said that, I do have a lovely family. The Holiday's were FABULOUS, really they were.  The 2 months before the celebratory months were a bit of a ruff road. We got through it, because that is what families do.

We had our oldest grand daughter for a full two weeks.  We have never met her until now, she grew up in Honduras, and our son was finally able to find her here in the US. We were all so happy and excited to have her here with us. What a lovely young woman.  She is kind and caring and so happy to have her daddy in her life.  It is really a  blessing.  

Then our son and daughter-in-law and the grand kids, came for New Years, they stayed for a week and she went home with them for a week. Now she is back in California with her mom.  We will get to see her for Spring Break.

While they were all here, my son was cleaning up the kitchen, there was some dried spaghetti noodles on a pot. He was scrubbing the pot and one of the dry noodles went under his thumb nail all the way to the cuticle. We tried to get it out it was way  to painful. So off to the  Urgent Care we went, to have a Spaghetti noodle removed. It had begun to soften due to his body heat.  The Doctor had to lift the nail to remove the NOODLE.  Who does this happen to? I mean really? Fortunately, it was Angel Hair Pasta.  Now we buy Linguini instead. 

                         Family, It's Who You For Dinner.

Missing

I have been missing for a bit. Taking care of some stuff. will be back soon

The Story Of Rose

This is the Zombie I sent to my Partner It is "Rose" She was the Choir Conductor in Wonderland's  garden.  It

was a story that I felt would not get told because of the other characters were more in the lime light.

This Is The Story Of Rose from Alice In Wonderland’s Garden

Rose was the director of the Garden Chorus.

Rose led them in some beautiful melodies

 All of the other flowers loved her so.

Then the long dreaded Zombie Apocalypse found its way to Wonderland.

The rotting, fumbling Zombies massacred the Garden.  They stomped on all of the beautiful flowers.  Rose tried to hide from all of the mayhem but it didn’t matter where she hid. The Zombies sloughed the disease on to the garden.

Rose’s once beautiful red petals began to drain of all their crimson color.

Droplets of her color fell on her leaves like the dripping of blood, slowly leaving the dead.

The petals once so brilliantly colored turned to a pasty sickening pink.

Spiders put webs in her once ruby petals.

Rose looked at the garden of all her beloved friends. Lifelessly they lay in the disgusting

Swaller that was once as the garden of Wonderland

All of Roses friends, broken brown, green and twisted.

Was she all that was left of the most beautiful ground covering in Wonderland?

“No, No it can’t be true”, she silently wailed.  It was true!

Alice, the White Rabbit, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, everyone, anyone in Wonderland

TURNED, succumbed to the dreadful undead.

ZOMBIES!

                                    That day, the music died.

IT'S ZOMBIE TIME

'

I love this time of year Zombies here Zombies there Zombies, Zombies every where.
Oh Wonderland. What happened?  Yarnigras Swapper Spot.
My partner this year is Little Messy Missy. I have swapped with her before. She is also very talented.
The most fun is we are in the same Zip Code. Missy left my Zombie on the front porch. When my daughter went to work she brought it in and put it on the dinning room table. Then she called me and told me there was a visitor at the table.  So I crept out and there she was The best little Zombie ever with the best Coffin I ever got.  So Far...........
She made Alice and all the little elements she put together. FABULOUS
THANK YOU MISSY

  SHE IS SO CUTE!!

JUST A PEEK

Here is a peek of the Zombie I made for my Partner.

This is Barbie and Tianna

this is my Family's First Annual Barbie Head Zombie contest.
All my sisters, daughter,nieces and the craftiest of them all daughter inlaw. We are making Zombies we each found a Barbie Head at the Thrift Store. Tianna was a bonus.  I think Barbie and the hands are already SCARY and ICKY.
