10 November, 2025 Omg Jodie, this installment had an original start date of 12 April, 2017. I was looking at current Chronicle documents and opened this page and discovered that apparently, I never wrote more than the opening sentence of this installment!! (smile) So-o-o-o for eight years, I’ve been under the impression that I wrote…
“….Justice for All”….Really??
9 November, 2025 Hey JoJo….it’s time to return to writing my chronicles!! (smile) Yeah, my procrastinating finally reached its max point just a few days ago. The origin of the primary display I wanted to show started a very long time ago. I found two globes, one White and one Black, and placed them equally…
The Ride’s Not Ending and the Sun’s Not Ready to Set!
07 May, 2022 Wow Jodie, this is definitely a momentous day for sure!! (smile) We had a great phone conversation as you were cruising to Portsmouth, VA this morning. It was one of the “7- Guaranteed Phone Calls” we make each year….today is Birthday #49. Goodness, where do the years go?? I thought it would…
The Baccarat Butterfly…
09 May, 2022 I was again the very surprised recipient of a second wonderful gift from Anne. This time it was a parting gift as I was leaving Nestle and moving here to Vegas in 2001. I’m given another gift box and a card by her, and I’m really curious as to what could possibly…
The Happiness Dragons…
09 May, 2022 I was at Nestle, USA in 1999, when I met one of the nicest, most gracious individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of having as an external resource vendor, Anne Moore of RGS Printing. I had done a number of printing projects with her company and while it’s quite common for client…
The Howl of the Lone Wolf…
09 May, 2022 I have to admit that the Howling Wolf piece may have one of two origins….I initially felt that I discovered it on one of my Antique Mall exercises, but then I started thinking that it might’ve been a Princess House piece that I either purchased or it was given to me as…
Ain’t nothin’ but a Stag Party…
09 May, 2022 The first deer sculpture I found was this “Sentinel Stag” and I think it was a Princess House piece. Now I’ll admit Jodie, that I had thoughts of calling it “Bambi” something or other, but inasmuch as I do refer to my pieces as “glass sculptures” rather than “figurines”, I had to…
The Three Blind Mice….
09 May, 2022 This is really one of my favorite little dioramas!! I had acquired my Palm Desert Jaguar, and for a number of months originally displayed him with my Big Cats (of course). Because of his pose he was pretty much a stand-alone entity even among the other Cats. When I saw these tiny…
A Boy’s Best Friends….
08 May, 2022 Hi Jodie….man, this is truly unique. It was only 24 hours ago that I wrote your birthday installment, marking the re-energizing of my enthusiasm to write more Chronicles!! (smile) All of a sudden, I’m feeling like there’s another quick installment I should knock out, but I don’t have an idea which collection…
“4 Beautiful Butterflies….4 Beautiful Friendships!”
19 September, 2019 “4 Beautiful Butterflies….4 Beautiful Friendships!” Hi Jodie….so-o-o-o, only 8 days ago you headed back home after spending a week with me. It’d been 2 ½ years since we’d seen each other, and I simply couldn’t have asked for a more phenomenal way to celebrate reaching my 70th Birthday than to have been…
“A Snowy Morning in Vegas….and an Arctic Playground!”
21 February, 2019 Hi JoJo….it’s been a quite a while since I knocked out an installment, and today is an amazing day to do that, as it is actually snowing here in Vegas for the first time in 10 years!! Yes…those are real photos of the view I have from my upper terrace this morning. …
“The Fruits of my Labors!”
07 September, 2017 “The Fruits of my Labors!” Hey JoJo….What an incredible way to start my day!! (ha,ha,ha,ha,ha) I certainly didn’t expect, and was very surprised to receive the early morning (stroke of midnight to be exact) phone call from you making you the very first to wish me a Happy Birthday!!…
