A tiny time capsule

Top: four coins, a 50cent piece, a dollar coin, and two quarters. Bottom: a 2 dollar bill. All are from the 1976 bicentennial series.

Forty-nine years ago my grandmother slid some treasures into envelopes for her three granddaughters. (Her only grandson wasn’t born yet and thusly missed out.) She gave the envelope to my mother for safekeeping until we got older. For years Mom…

I painted a tomato? I painted a tomato!

it's a watercolor painting of a tomato. there is an imperfect blue background, but the oangey-red tomato has shadows and highlights. there is shading!

Do you remember when I took a watercolor class two years ago and in typical Kim fashion didn’t follow through? I have this issue where if I know I’m going to absolutely stink at something, I won’t even try. It’s…

NO KINGS.

I can’t be at the protests today, but I wish I could be. If you voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, or 2024, the blood of our democracy is on your hands.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
