Oh my





The fun we can have on the Internet sometimes boggles my mind. Pity on those of us who need to get work done! These images were created using my top website for the week, a little site called obamicon.me. Try it and send me your images!

PS Sorry there is no list!

a few signs that it's spring!

1. The kitty is frantic, she wants to go out
2. Kids in the neighborhood play and shout
3. Plants in the yard are beginning to sprout
(they seem to know what it’s all about)

4. Students are wearing their sneakers and shorts
(A shedding of their fur, of sorts)
5. Everyone seems geared up for sports
6. And many are hogging the tennis courts!

And some photos of a recent trip to Ephrata, PA!



A local flea market had so much stuff ....



But oddly enough I couldn't find anything I wanted to buy


At a conference center ladies room, detailed instructions on How To Wash Your Hands. But there's no indication of what to do after "then...."


Such pretty sprinkles!

Wordsmithery




Isn't this so pretty?

I happened upon this amazing little web tool today when I was looking for an illustration for an article. Wordle takes your words and makes a collage. There are loads of settings for colors and fonts. I made a a few test collages with my favorite words. It's an incomplete list in no particular order and I'm probably forgetting a million of 'em. I'll do more later! Isn't this so cool?
