I am attending a conference in Washington, D.C. and won’t be posting until I get back which will be July 2.  Hope everyone has a great 4th of July week-end!!!

Brown and pink are today’s in colors.  At our daughter’s baby shower last Saturday, she received an outfit for her daughter-to-be that was brown with pink polka dots.  Everyone squealed with delight.

So, in honor of this sweet baby, I have designed yet another theme.  Brown and pink polka dots.

I do not have graphic art skills as evidenced by my novice-looking header graphic.  I think I ought to take a class.  And practice, practice, practice. (But hey, I’m learning about coding so I guess maybe that makes up for my lack of artistic skill.  Maybe.)

However, I still have to conquer the issue with calendars (as is evidenced here . . .)  But, right now, I have a headache.  And it’s bedtime.

Au revior.

As you might have noticed (those of you who read this blog on a regular or even semi-regular basis), I change themes often. I love looking for new themes! Why have the same one all the time? Boring, right? After all, we don’t wear the same clothes every day now do we? (At least I hope not. . . .)

But, this theme is a wee bit different. I have made it my very own self! Without any help! Without consulting a PHP for Dummies book.

It is based on a picture that I took while we were in Costa Rica. Because the picture is of a waterfall and of the lush surrounding vegetation, the theme has green in it. Now, green is not my favorite color. But this picture is one of my favorite pictures. So, I’m enduring a green-based theme.

Creating this theme was so much fun that I think I’ll create some more. I might even make them available for others to download and enjoy. Imagine that . . . me . . . a WordPress theme designer. Who would have ever thought!

My youngest born told me he did not find the ’socumentary’ that I recently posted to be funny.  I did.  There must be something wrong with his sense of humor.

I find the following movie funny.  I fear the afore mentioned son probably won’t.  If he doesn’t, he ought to give his funny bone a tune up. (Source: http://www.theonion.com_
