Welcome Kittens & Dawgs! I’m doing something a little different with my mid-week not-so Wordless Wednesday. Typically, I share a photograph but I’m opening this time slot to share my new artsketches with you. It’s still a picture but not created with a camera. I didn’t use any Internet sources as an example for this drawing, I call it Angel in the Clouds. It looks like she’s standing charge over someone special below.
Do you believe in angels? Has your guardian angel kept you from harm? Have you met an angel?
[tweetthis]I linked up with Curious as a Cathy for some not-so #WW fun & I invite you join the party! #photography[/tweetthis]
Next is my Wednesday Hodgepodge segment hosted by Joyce. This is an excellent way to get to know your fellow blogger and you’re invited to play alone.
1. What are your ingredients for a perfect Saturday? Plenty of sunshine and time to escape to our favorite getaway spot, the Appalachian mountains!
2. What skill do you wish more people took the time to learn? That’s easy, cursive handwriting. Ever since the technology explosion (mobile devices), kids are no longer taught script handwriting and those who managed to learn it didn’t spend time purrfecting the art resulting in some awful scribbles. In recent years, I learned that they no longer teach cursive handwriting in school and that’s just a shame!
3. What’s something you ate as a child you can’t stand now as an adult? Honestly, I was not a picky eater. I did get tired of eating pinto beans often and even swore that one day I’d never have them again but in truth I love pinto beans and can’t imagine not having a big kettle of home cooked pintos with corn bread. Yum!
4. Something parenting has taught you? If you’re not a parent tell us one important lesson you learned from your own parents. You mean besides it not being an easy gig, right? Parenting has taught me to not be so quick to judge other parents. When you don’t have kids then it’s easy to point a finger saying, “If that was my child or I’d never do that…” Every parent has their own style. What works for one, doesn’t work for another. Another thing is just because a kid gets into trouble doesn’t necessarily mean the parents were bad. Often times it boils down to a kid refusing to follow the instructions of the parents. Rebellion brings on hard lessons learned fast.
5. Share a favorite quote or saying about mothers or motherhood. “No one will love you like dear Mom”. I found a song expressing these sentiments on YouTube.
6. Insert your own random thought here. Here’s the purrrfect song to go with today’s artwork.
Has your guardian angel kept you safe? Share your story of a time your escaped an otherwise horrible fate.
Have a good day and please join me tomorrow for laughs on Friday Fun Stuff!
X💋X💋,
Cathy
