Welcome

Here at CloudCover Cottage, life reminds me of the 1938 Frank Capra movie, "You Can't Take it With You." We don't have a Lionel Barrymore character, exactly, but FarmBoy goes off to work every day to support all the rest of us, who are not as many as we once were, but still plenty. The Artist likes to spend a lot of time in her room, drawing, drawing, drawing Japanese-influenced art on her computer. Once in a while she emerges and bounces into the kitchen and cooks something fabulous. No "Love Dreams" to sell door to door yet (see the movie), but she makes us lots of gooooood stuff. Stan The Musician goes off to college every day to sing and play his trombone. He is our portal into the world of jazz. And me, I'm kinda like those guys in the basement (see the movie), except no explosions, just creations and messes. And I'm kinda like that ditzy lady with the kitten for a paperweight (see the movie), except I write with a pencil into a journal of unlined paper, instead of on a typewriter, and it's poems instead of plays. The FarmBoy is like the Jean Arthur character, the sane one in the bunch, who, nevertheless, just might be caught sliding down a banister when you least expect it. We are lilies, and, so far, taken care of very, very well. Glad you could drop by.--Dallan
