What the Hail ! My Latest Gift !

Storms came through again yesterday but this time they dropped hail on us larger than golf ball size. We had went out for a quick lunch and had ran into Target. I could hear it as I shopped, the rest of the family watched it outside. It came through where we lived before it came over the shopping center. This was the hail probably 45 minutes after it had hit our home.

It was still pretty large after that long. What is horrible is that we always pull our van in the garage if a bad storm is coming and after all those times with no hail........this time we were caught off guard and it was left out. It was bigger than golf ball size when it came down, some areas had baseball size! Yes, we have very visible dents in our lovely van, have already called our insurance company. I will post photos of it in the next couple of days, a shadow was on it by the time I was taking photos and you couldn't see them well. Probably a dozen at the least.

I received this beautiful print from an original acrylic painting by Artist Victoria O'Neill simply for leaving her a comment!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, my luck has been improving lately! Sorry, the photo isn't super clear....been up all day baking and am posting this Friday night. Thank you so very much Victoria!

Happy Easter !!!!!! Love and Blessings to All !

A Whole Lot of Not Much - But Alot!

I STILL did not have time for any art yesterday, just doodling while on the phone with BigBoy last night - very late! Obviously, the food is still on my mind. VolleyGirl has a tournament this Saturday, but it is local thank goodness, but will still be long. There is more food I must prepare turkey sandwiches Saturday morning before we go. Sadly, I have just learned my next door neighbor's mother has passed away just over an hour ago at age 92. I should have something in mind to prepare to take over for them as well.

The always generous Soulbrush honored me and many others with this award yesterday. Thank you so much Mrs. Brush, you are too kind!!!!

I also received yet another gift in the mail from a blog friend which I plan to post in the next day or two! Apollo is sleeping on what he will carry on about tomorrow. BigBoy comes home tomorrow afternoon for Easter and VolleyGirl gets out at 1:00 tomorrow to begin a break that continues through Monday! I need to get myself busy, groceries, cleaning, always washing....but I should get to work on art when BB comes home since he takes over the royal duties!

Blessings to you all during this Holy Week.

Sunday Snippet

Look at this gorgeous card with a watercolor of a English bulldog celebrating Easter!!! Lolo sent three of these to me and I was so excited and touched. (Okay, maybe I'm always a bit touched) The envelope was lovely as well and as I pulled it from the mailbox, I immediately knew it was from her! Mr. Unplugged was very impressed....anything bulldog makes him happy. Have I mentioned I may have rhinoplasty to get my nose halfway embedded into my face........gotta keep my man happy...........THANKS LOLO! You are such a sweetheart. I have been receiving these wonderful gifts in the mail and I feel like the Little Drummer Boy, I have no gift to bring.....I shall be thinking (warning). Hmmmm, filled cupcakes, nah, coconut cream pie, nah, buttermilk biscuits, nah, locks of my hair....er, can't spare that.......collected slobber from Apollo.....yuk! Wait! Soulbrush!....nah.......my footprints in ink.....nah.....okay, may have a small dilemma here.

It has been busy around the Unplugged Palace, family activities and chores have kept me from blogging - imagine that! I barely had time for this zentangle last night. This afternoon, grocery shopping and volleyball practice.......hope to catch up with you all soon!

Friday Sky: My Week In Weather

I may as well join Skywatch Friday since I watch the sky every day of the week and take photos of it everyday with my cellphone. Yes, it's wrong, but I am very, very careful with my 'snap driving'. Miss many good shots for safety's sake........

Hopefully will post again later today, maybe a zentangle, AND Lolo sent me a gift!!!!
