We usually watch Wendy Williams on Monday. 10:00 around time mail comes, at 10:30 or so.
Paul likes 2-1/2 men and he likes me to go to bed early so he can watch TV limitlessly. I watch TV at 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. with ABC news. I did that this morning, watched World News Now at 3-4 a.m.
Paul is changing channel from Maury to something probably retro, we watch a lot of retro TV like Beaver Cleaver, 1 Adam 12 and Dragnet, every day, Father's knows Best, etc. Dennis the Menace.
We need to go somewhere and do something. Maybe go to B&G in Schoolcraft and to the bank to deposit check.

Better mood - Paul.
Paul is in a much better mood today. Grand Rapids is flooded out, 150,000 sand bags. The city manager had the CSX train drive onto the bridge to keep it from washing away, cars were full of salt, amazing.
Jill, my sister, says it's not that bad in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but that it's only a disaster, not an emergency-emergency, she said.
I did not go up to Grand Rapids this weekend Saturday, Wayland US 131 was closed part of the morning Saturday morning past.
It will rain again this week. Rivers will drop. It will warm up 2 days and then get cold again. It was 37 degrees this morning and I could hear the bullfrogs in nearby ponds in our neighborhood.
Paul took trash out this a.m. already, all the babies and hubby have been fed. Ocelot was acting crazy this morning.

Standard Chinese character, Tranquility
Paul is making glue traps
Paul is making glue traps for bugs out of tape he has, they work well. Gross as all get-out.
Paul wants to patent his traps (:}), I want to patent my light-board. Sarah H. gave her pens away to her cousin Sharon, I'm pretty sure, she needs to get them back and I'll give her new nibs and paper and ink.
Pastor preached on idols at church. We're supposed to bring our idols in and get rid of them. This should be interesting. Maybe there will be TVs in the bunch. In my camp, I think my 2 DVDs that I do about 2 x a week are close to being idols, but I can live without them. Besides, it brings me closer to God to do hymns in Spencerian.
Paul just found a trove of bugs under fridge, yik. We signed another lease here and next door neighbor is still here, Paul really hates him. He drinks beer all day and stares at people's butts, basically, all the time. He has brain damage. He's supposed to be out next month, that's 10 days away. We have been through this before, counting the days until he is gone, and he is still here. Goldentree is a bad place, but cheap.
Skippy is digging at his ear.
Paul made 2 heavy wagons with nice axles, 1/2" and 5/8", the heavier one is made out of bed angle iron and exercise machine steel. It is almost too heavy.
This past week was the week of the Boston massacre with the 2 guys from Russia who the first got killed and the 2nd is in serious condition at hospital, facing death penalty for terrorism. There was also a factory in Waco TX that blew up, fertilizer factory, and trashed 260 homes, they haven't uncovered the reason for that.

Proof of Heaven week
Had fun showing Spencerian penmanship to Amish kids in one room schoolhouse last week Friday. Paul is depressed today. He did not go to church with me. It is cold out but sunny. I returned 2 books I borrowed from library for Leah and Toby: Beyond Death's Door by Maurice Rawlings MD and "Proof of Heaven". I did not read the 2nd book, it made not mention of Jesus. Beyond is written by Christian, Proof is written by a sincere neurologist who doesn't have faith in Christ (yet).
Paul is munching on Tortilla chips and jalepeno cheese, I think he is cheering up somewhat. Tomorrow is supposed to go up to 60 degrees. Paul is bummed out about losing his drivers license due to mild cataracts that are too mild to be surgical at this point, and he is bummed about a lot of things. He did not go to church with me today. We did go to the flea market together yesterday and to Toby's. Paul and Dale talked for about 10-15 minutes about engines and stuff. Dale was the vendor next to me last weekend.
Paul and I test-drove a Buick Lacrosse 07 about 2 weeks ago, did the credit thing at the dealership and at the C.U. and got turned down. They made me offer at dealership 255 month, but would not give me interest or time period. Sure 255 a month for 7 years, righto, I told them to keep their so called offer.
I had made 200 business cards 2 weeks ago of Spencerian painting for 25.00, not bad. I got JPEGs of my artwork a few days ago from Office Max, a few dollars, maybe 2.00, of the penmanship paintings Arise and others. I did of my Chinese paintings also a week ago at Office Max, which is the only place I'll go cuz Office Depot will only give me PDFs not JPEGs.
I returned those 2 books to Library, no fine.
I did "Arise my Soul Arise" , as pictured above, one week ago in pointed pen Spencerian penmanship with Oblique holder and Nikko-G nib. I talked to Michael as I did it and did not make mistake, but didn't quite add Charles Wesley's name as author. It is in brown ink which I made according to Michael Sull's recipe of 10 parts vermillion sumi ink to one part (or a little bit) of black Higgins Eternal ink. I really like the brown ink. But I have to do color copies of it. I did it on Amish paper, I did not paint the flowers, the Miller girls did. I did paint the bird flourish in brown ink.

Ouch finger owie.
I have to get to bed. My finger tore open while opening several tubes of paint (oil) yesterday.
Today Paul and I laminated 60 memory cards for Leah and Toby H.
350
I have over 350 pieces of laminated placemats to display and sell of pointed pen work, a labor of intense love for the Spencerian hand as well as hymns, prayers, psalms, birds flourished, etc. Paul and I also laminated 60 memory cards for Leah.
Of those 350 placemats, probably 50 are color.
