Beautiful Sunrise


A beautiful sunrise is definitely one of the rewards for getting up early. This was the view out my window one morning earlier in the week. Today is almost like spring. No coat needed, a vest is plenty. So nice. Enjoy your weekend, Rosemary.

My Favorite New Year's Card | Letterpress

This is by far my favorite New Year's card. My friend Richard McGeehan always uses the best letterpress stationery. My photo doesn't do the card justice. The wonderful paper is almost as thick as a coaster and the impression is very deep. Thank you Richard.

Here is his design website: http://www.mcgeehandesign.com/
He is very talented and we have been friends for years. The website is relatively new and doesn't begin to show his true talent.

Quiz: What Font Type Are You?



This site is wonderful. You answer four questions and the perfect font is picked out for you based on your answers. Make up a name. The password is 'character'. You must do this before you can enter the site. It is fabulous. What type are you? Wasn't that fun?
The resident psychiatrist told me I am Marina Script.

Orangutan And Dog Are Soul Mates

One of my readers (she has a brand new blog) sent me a wonderful video this morning about a very unusual friendship between an orangutan and a dog at the Tigers Sanctuary in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Watch it. It will definitely make your day. It's very uplifting and so happy. Enjoy.
