Frances was new to the exchange in April - but then she didn't have time to sign up in May. Maybe she'll be back someday. The greenery is so nice - clearly NOT weeds. I paired Frances with Troy - and his happy green HELLO! with a kite-string-name. That one is going in my idea file.

Yesterday's posted mentioned the olden days of graphic design where everything was done by hand. I was free lancing when the whole world was switching over to computers and it was at that point that I retired. I was in my late 20s - early 30s - newly married, starting a family. I did not have the inclination to learn how computers worked nor did I want to invest the money in a computer. The old school art supplies were not expensive at all. Then, when my youngest was 7 and I was 43, that's when I fell down the calligraphy/penmanship hole. I never regretted that I did not make the transition to computers. The tactile sense of working on paper with inks, paints, markers, pencils, whatever is so satisfying.
Recently, an article about the many activities people are using to keep their brains vital - pointed out that people are spending a lot of time on computer programs that challenge the brain. Puzzles and whatnot. The article also pointed out that it is silly that people are going to the computer for brain activities - and paying for programs - when they could just go out and use their brain FOR FREE.... doing things that *work* the brain.
Duh.
