Sunset Over Dollar General
I mean DO LAR RAL. By not replacing light bulbs, they pass the savings on to you, the valued customer. Or did someone just walk off with the ladder (for a dollar)?
Who cares? Red sky at night, holiday bargain hunter’s delight!

Mad Genius Makes Cool Portrait of Your Home
“Santa Lucia” in California
© 2012 Natalya Aikens
My SIL, a fiber artist, makes knockout “portraits” of people’s homes using objects they send her…fabric, photos, house plans, a map. What people supply her with to represent their homes is remarkable and touching (mittens, fur, twigs, sheet music); seeing what Natalya selects to incorporate ~ and how ~ is fascinating. The whole thing makes me like people.
You can watch three unfold below:

I also love her blog. Unlike mine, none too chatty.

How to Change the Subject Heading in the New Gmail
Don’t you detest new things? Rural Americans sure do.
In the new Gmail it’s harrrrrd to see where to alter your subject heading. Because we in rural America communicate constantly with (distant!) friends via e-mail, we don’t want to keep using the same $#%&*! subject heading. In the old, GOOD version it was obvious. In the new, BAD version our friends at “G” buried it.
Here’s how to do it. Know that they are talking about the arrow WITHIN THE REPLY YOU’VE STARTED, not the arrow within the e-mail you RECEIVED. Good luck and good scribbling.
