Funky doodads and all that jazz....: August 2010
http://funkydoodad.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 24, 2010. T'is the Summer of Chaos. Delhi to Dublin mosh pit and broken sunglasses. Coffee demanding visitors from foreign countries. Graduating art students heading off to meet the world. Bare toed bum-crack tickling. Grasshopper beer and bracelet sucking babies. Slippery shoes in bathroom stalls and a bruised elbow. Over stuffed taxi cabs and steamy backseat pauses. Outhouse photo ops with friends. Mennonite twin jam session. 12 leeches on my dog and an overused salt shaker. Googly eyed...

Funky doodads and all that jazz....: It's a Family Affair
http://funkydoodad.blogspot.com/2015/01/its-family-affair.html
Thursday, January 22, 2015. It's a Family Affair. This article was originally written for the Northern Sun News on August 20th, 2014. My sister sculpted this cake! I, on the other hand, prefer to work two-dimensionally. It’s a mystery to me. Just like physics is magic. Metal flying through the air? 8220;Sweet Honesty” honestly stinks.) I learned to appreciate the small things. But the piece de resistance. Thank you, Mom. I love you. Happy birthday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Its a Family Affair.

Funky doodads and all that jazz....: July 2010
http://funkydoodad.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Winnipeg Folk Fest Newbie in Da House! Do I really care if it rains when it's always scorching hot? Oh wait, it cools off so quickly in the evenings and if I'm damp from dancing in the rain, that won't be good. What kinds of clothing can I bring that is super warm yet light enough to carry with me all day? Maybe I'll just wear a blanket. Do I need shoes? So, Deanna, always the trooper and one to usually go for it, even when it's definitely the unknown, said, "SURE! And we took off...

Funky doodads and all that jazz....: February 2010

Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Purple Harley of a Bike. Man, that bike was sweet. Low to the ground, huge banana seat, shiny silver butterfly handle bars, a sweet plastic weaved basket in the front decked out with flowers that looked like quintessential gerbera daisies, a high bar on the back to hang on to or lean against, reflective pedals, and metallic purple paint. It was a beauty and it was my magic. I zoomed down the hill towards Pickle Lake's only main street absorbing my first biking experience wit...

Funky doodads and all that jazz....: Food Is Art
http://funkydoodad.blogspot.com/2014/10/food-is-art.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2014. This article was originally written on August 6th for the Northern Sun News. My husband has been sick for the past several days with a nasty summer flu. I must have sympathetic flu symptoms because I too indulged in a full-fledged movie marathon with him, watching hour upon hour of movies (3 out of 4 of them had Johnny Depp in them…yahoo! There is too much to write about! 8221; Then when I talked to my husband about my dilemma, he too said that it was impossible and that ther...

Funky doodads and all that jazz....: Hairy Paper
http://funkydoodad.blogspot.com/2014/10/hairy-paper.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Please note; this article was originally written for The Northern Sun News on July 30th in the middle of a heat wave. Even though there are many references to summer, the ideas can still apply! I have been known to annihilate pansies by hammering them into paper. Pansies make an excellent imprint on paper when you pound the snot out of them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Music festival websites worth checking out. Trout Forest Music Festival.

Funky doodads and all that jazz....: June 2010
http://funkydoodad.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 28, 2010. Calling All Small Town Artists. Have you met my friend, Harriet Carlson? I've always stuck to my guns in believing that having toe thumbs is an inherent artistic genetic trait.) Not once in those four years at SOFA was I called "Artsy Fartsy", not even by someone that afterwards said, "You know I'm just kidding." or "You know I don't really mean it." (You know you're just passive aggressive.). You may be reading this thinking, Come on, what's the big deal? She was complimenting her!

Monday, May 24, 2010. I don't know a thing about soccer. I always seem to say I don't know a thing about soccer, yet, I'm a soccer coach. I have been coaching high school soccer for three seasons now, and every year I say, "Well, that was exhausting and frustrating and I think I gained 5 pounds," but not this year. This year I am 100% sure why I am a coach, and why I'll stick with it. Let's see how many kids we can rug burn? A boy's gotta play soccer (and girls)! Girls wear a lot of jewelry (that ends up...
