Linda and Namowal, I got your wondrous cards. Love how you used multiple colors and painterly styles, YES!And further Rumplestiltskin moment: Just now, ten minutes before lights out, I figured out how to add a background to the draw it picture, so tomorrow expect to see a card you can draw into. maybe I'll do a contest, just maybe. About Rumplestiltskin moments: Flash Actionscript 3 remains so peculiar to me a year and a half later that I'm always just clicking in some code, hitting ctrl enter, or F12, and waiting to see what comes down. (how many errors it will report to me.)So when suddenly what I want appears on the screen, it's so amazing, such a Rumplestiltskin moment.(Wasn't that the fairy tale where someone had to guess the magic word?)
Those Rumplestiltskin moments--there's nothing like them. I had one once in 1973.When you wrote "no ids except for one or two cards I received," I thought you were talking in Freudian terms, and I was hoping my card wasn't too egotistical.What were the clues that made you know you had found a good house sitter?Those are great dreams.Hooray! I can't believe that someone kicked the bucket, and right on schedule!
I feel so far behind on my homework! I haven't even dragged and dropped a card yet, but I will soon! Yes, glad to hear your mom has a room! Have a good visit with her. Just appreciate the little quirky moments, and it can be a precious if exhausting time. When my heart was breaking because we had just put Dad in the nursing home, I remember feeling such relief (and humor) when he told me (in all seriousness and sincerity), "I'm impressed with the accommodations!" as if he were at a country club or Versailles! It's what impresses one about the generation that survived the Depression: they just appreciate everything. (Of course, after sundown he thought he was in jail or being fired upon or waiting to get a tired repaired.)
You have the best toys.
