"Honey, I'm Home"

-
We got back about 1:30 this am. We left at about 10 am yesterday and drove straight through. Our heads have been swimming all day because of the drop in altitude. Or maybe that is just the way we are. The picture above is what we looked at on the way home. A whole lot of nothing. The most interesting thing on the trip this way home is a gas station in a town called Slap Out in the pan handle of OK. That is all there is, at a cross roads. They have the biggest pair of red granny panties hanging on the wall there I have ever seen. They are about a yard high by a yard wide. We were so surprised that we forgot to ask why they were even there.
I have caught up on email and am in the process of uploading pictures and responding to correspondence. I hope to get to you all in the next few days. But you know it is a holiday so there is no telling what is on MrP's agenda. We have already been asked to baby sit on Sunday so that will be a busy day.
I didn't have internet for four days and realized I truly am a blogaholic. I don't even care. That air card was only picking up one bar and I kept trying to get on. I finally found a TV antenna and used two old bread twist ties to strap it to the place for the air card antenna that hasn't even come out yet but has a spot for one. Then I spread the rabbit ears out and I still couldn't get on line. That was really pretty desperate wasn't it?
While gone we didn't have a lot of channels and didn't even watch much TV but there was this noir story on one of the forensic files that was just sickening funny. This gal had a sugar daddy and a boyfriend. She was afraid the sugar daddy would find out about the boyfriend so she decided to kill the boyfriend. She did and left him in an apartment lent to her by her sugar daddy. The boyfriend started to create a not so lovely smell and neighbors were complaining so she went in wrapped him in a shower curtain, I think, and a sheet, strapped him to a dolly, hooked and lashed him to the trailer hitch of her truck and drove off in the middle of the night to dispose of him dragging the dolly behind the truck. She lost him somewhere along the way and just kept on driving. When the police finally caught her she said she thought she felt and heard a thumpity thump. They did a re-enactment. I couldn't help but laugh. Does that make me a sick person? hahaha

Puye Indian Ruins

The Indians have a huge entrance into this site. You have to buy a ticket just to go into the area with the information about the ruins that is right below it. We didn't go into the ruins but got permission to photograph the information you see here and the ruins from below. There were 150 school kids ahead of us and it would have been several hours wait. I wanted to get to the falls that day so we opted out. I have been to Mesa Verde (pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/64cdkn ) three times and it is my favorite. We have also been to Canyon De Chelly which is another favorite and I swear in Canyon De Chelly(pronounced De Shay) you could feel the Indian spirit there. Pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/yze4ghz The tenacity of these people is amazing to say the least. It says they made ladders to their homes on the side of the mesa. What they mean is not hand made ladders but they chipped out hand and foot holds into the rock to literally climb the face of the rock. ...

Just some things I have been doing.  I don't expect anyone to understand it but it is a messy art mostly made up from junk around the house with some embellishments. I am taking a class for fun that is free on line.  Jennibelli journal workshop here . It's a ning site so you have to sign up somewhere to join if you are interested but this gal has a Youtube site with all her free videos on it. I started this project as a way to save all the old odds and ends pictures I have but it has become more about the art and allowing myself to be messy. It's all about taking old paint, scraps of paper and pulling them into some form of cohesion to express yourself.  And it's loads of fun.  Now if I just had more time in the day.
