Slimmy Pals

Betty White and guitar god Slash, share a laugh and a common love of a slithery snake. As a former member of GnR, Slash is quite used to being around snakes of all kinds.

 But then, what's a lengendary rock group without scandal and discontent?

Crazy College Collage

I created this black and white collage many years ago. In fact it predates computers (well, I'm sure there were computers back in those days they were the size of a freight truck and no one had one in their homes...but I digress.) The piece was put together using images found in magazines, cut and paste on canvas (with real scissors and glue even.)

Not sure what the inspiration was for this unique collage from decades ago, as it was created in my artsy Sheridan College days (or should that be "daze"?)




What A Difference a Few Weeks Can Make

Considering not that long ago she spent a week in the hospital, isolated from the world and very sick, my sister Kim was in pretty good spirits when I dropped by recently. "Officially" I was there to fix a computer issue, but really I just wanted a chance to see Kim, Don, Erin and Patrick (who had also been sick for some time).
While the entrance outside of their home had plenty of Autumn splendor (as we see in the photo above), Kim and the kids had just returned from buying some new Christmas ornaments, so we're pretty certain it won't be long until the festive holiday season will be all over "Papple Place"

I'm glad I was able to help fix your pc, but mostly just happy everyone is home and doing better. I love you all very much!

Happy Birthday Becky...

...May All Your Dreams Come True!

Love Ken



Hi "Jack"

You are a GENIUS!!!!!!!!!
Becky's birthday tribute couldn't have been better.
When I saw her little girl picture, I got tears in my eyes.
You are the best.
Love,
"Mary"



OMG "Jack", thank you so much for the video,
I cried…I luv you babe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was amazing!
xoxoxoxoxo
"Grace"


[OK, one more time for our new readers...
Becky and I worked together and are best of friends.
 Our nicknames for each other are Grace and Jack (from Will and Grace).
 Becky's sister is Susan. We call her "Mary".
It all makes perfectly good sense when you're gathered around a campfire
with Lake Pappineau in the background and a cold beverage in your hand].

Country Style

Dave Webber (left) is joined by his husband Chris and their dog Gonish in this awesome photo. Chris recently celebrated his birthday (hope it was a good one Chris). We're not sure if this great outdoorsy pix was part of his celebration, but it's worthy of sharing with scribbles pals regardless.

Love this photo...wonder who was behind the camera?



New "Roommate" for Merry!

My "Mother-in-Law" Merry has a new furry friend. His name is Cotton and he's one year old. It's been a while since the pitter patter of little paws has blessed Merry's home and we're very excited and happy for her.

I briefly saw Cotton, who was hiding behind the sofa at the time. He had only arrived a few hours before my visit plus I had Timmi (on a leash, but still there) so Cotton just looked up at me and softly meowed. I'll come back without Timmi for my next visit with him and Merry.

Congrats on your new arrival Merry, I'm sure the two of you will have lots of fun together.

 My Doodle Gone Mad

This weekend I had the pleasure of a visit from my 6 year old nephew Graham. "Little Man" and I always have a lot of fun and this time around would be no different. I had brought home some old promo posters. They're made of sturdy cardstock and the backs are blank canvases just begging to be drawn on.

I draw I did.

Earlier in the day I had an issue syncing my iphone and as a result I had to do a complete restore. The process started at 9am and would end up taking 10 hours to complete. To keep myself distracted, I started drawing on my "canvas". It started off with one tree with autumn leaves. By the time Graham's mom came to take him home, I had drawn an entire forest [and my iphone was still in restore mode!]

Later that night I completed the piece with a few hills and sky. It had been a while since I put oil pastels to canvas and it was quite invigorating.

Now what to do with my latest "masterpiece"?? LMAO.






"Bang up job on your painting. Really, very well done. I just did my second a couple of weeks ago and will send a pic of that along to you/Scribbles."
