Roses & Hanging Baskets

A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with this see-through blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit,telling her not to dare go out like that!

The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!" and out she goes.

The next day the teenager comes down stairs, and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate...

The grandmother says,"Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rose buds, then I can display my hanging baskets.

Happy Gardening.

I am forty now, and forty years is a lifetime; it is extremely old age. To go on living after forty is unseemly, disgusting, immoral! Who goes on living after forty! Give me a sincere and honest answer! I'll tell you — rogues and fools. — Fedor Dostoyevski

It's a Sunny Day!

Very hard to post ASCII art, as plain text anywhere now. I tried and just posted an image file instead.

ASCII is Me

I really do like my ASCII art. In some ways I like it even more than my writing and that says a lot. I love writing, the act of it especially. But, the ASCII art is something more. It is partially a skill I never thought I had and yet there it is right on the page in front of me, showing me how "Yes, you silly grrl, you can do it!". So, I'm proud of my ASCII art. I have found a way to convert it to a graphic image file too. So you can see some of it live and in person. Right now it's a little dragon.

If that link is a dud just hang on. I was moving things over yesterday and possibly I have slipped up on the URL. That's where it will end up.
