What I Can’t Let Go Of:
(Just like the NPR Politics podcast on Fridays- minus the “Politics or otherwise” disclaimer.
This blog is publicly, a politics-free zone, so all musings will be “Otherwise“.)
Do you know about Nate Bargatze?
The Clean Comic
I’m certainly no prude, but it is very refreshing when multiple generations enjoy a show together.
And you might enjoy this interview from the NY Times.
I love that “The Cleanest Comic” and the Nicest Guy in Comedy (according to The Atlantic)
is also the highest grossing comic of 2024.
Lucky for us, all of us, he recognized a gap in the market is really good and funny and happy to fill it.
Plus he has dreams of even more for families to enjoy together!!!

Talk About a Conversation Piece!
Cindy of County Road 407 (and Organizer of my monthly Pinterest Challenge group) added such a fun detail to a table lamp.
Oh my, the options are endless!

WOW! Can You Guess What This is Made of?
Kristi of Addicted to Decorating has done some truly amazing projects. This is not the most recent, but one that still captures me every time I run across it.
It’s also a great introduction of Kristi’s style and her projects — although her DIY builds are every bit as inventive ad inspired.
Have You Tried Paper Mache Clay?
This is something that has been on my list for quite a while now. I have see more ad more rustic, paper clay bowls in high end decor, with prices that reflect the high-end way more than the rustic end.
Ananda of A Piece of Rainbow, has a really great tutorial to get me — and you — started down the path toward success.
I’ll share mine, if you share yours!!!
