2025: Day 15....."If I could sing"

 If I could sing like one person my #1 choice would be

JANIS JOPLIN.

But I can't sing.

But I do… only in the car by myself.

Janis Joplin's voice is like no other.

It has so much rustic raw emotion.

She kills it on every song.

I’m wowed by her. I wish I knew her in person.

It might have been rough knowing her but

it would have been amazing and unforgettable.

This would have been her 

groupie/best friend/time traveler who could sing.

2025: Day 14....."Glitter in our eyes & teeth"

 Yes. We've been known to get

glitter in our eyes. 

Also, glitter along our

arms and in surprising places.

Glitter and foamcore go together 

like peanut & jelly.

It helps that we love glitter.

But we also agree to make things

without glitter so don't feel bad for

asking us to refrain from sparkling up.

We can handle it.

But pretty much 90% of our candlelighting

centerpieces have glitter.

Only about 10% of our guitar centerpieces 

have glitter accents but the trend is gaining traction.

I can't image there is a color glitter we don't have or are

not willing to scout out and add to our collection.

But I will tell you that black glitter is my least favorite.

It catches no light by it's very nature.

Not sure why they even make it.

But we have it.

Sparkle 'n Shine.

Here's a picture from the past.

2025: Day 13....."Plants on a Plane"

A year ago I brought some leaves

home from Florida on a plane.

The lady at the Airbnb we 

stayed at threw out many long

vines of these in the trash in

front of her house.

I gasped when I saw them.

I pulled some out

because I do things like that.

I only had a small carry on to

return home with since we

were flying cheaply and didn't stay 

too long in Florida (only a long weekend).

I snipped them into segments making

sure to have a node on each segment.

Then I stacked them between wet

paper towels and put them in a

ziplock bag and hoped for the best.

I wasn't sure TSA would let me bring

them home but they did. 

They scanned them and I went on my way.

I had about 5 leaves.

Oh I so wish I could have brought the

entire garbage can home with me!

Why didn't I think of this solution?

I left them in water for 

a few months until they rooted.

Then I planted them.

By then the original leaves were

getting pretty ratty so I clipped them off.

Here's what I have a year later.

Hawaiian Pothos.

Not huge leaves but big enough

for me and glorious variation.
