"Utopology and what we know of it" has me thinking from the start.  A very unique style from Marie that comes in a form of Boekies.  Or any way this is how I see it.  I must admit I had truoble with the text, so before going to bed, I asked my wife if she could read it.  She picked it up and started reading it out loud.  "What, you can read it?"; I said.  'Yes, it's easy" she replied.  So I sat back and listened as she read me this bedtime story.  Even if we don't live in Utopologia, Life is…

Right in time for my bicycle trip around England, and then from London to Paris.  (Not sure how to get over the water part yet.  I'll work it out when I get there.)

Thank you Erni, and yes I will be taking it along and using it.  Thank you also for the sign with the bottles.  Have Bicycle Bottles will travel is our motto.

I received these 12 pieces:…

It’s a wonderful riff on the Vizma Art Barns or whatever they are with one of Dean’s strange stories on the back that creates more loose ends than it ties up. Which, of course, is the way we…

It all began with a walk in the woods last fall. That particular trip yielded quite the booty! My loot contained a dark orange POSTED sign I'd found on the forest floor. The sign was destined to be cut into postcard sized pieces of mail…
