RENOVATION DODD STYLE

Hi, and welcome to the show. Today's episode features handyman and renovation expert Shawn Dodd diligently at work. What's that noise you say? It's the sound of a table saw screeching through the delicate afternoon breeze, for today we're tiling until the cows come home..

Look. Subway tile. Dal Tile. These are things you need to know, because it is obviously kick ass tile. Oops I cussed.

And this, well this is the shower that I have been dreaming of for two weeks..still in the box but surrounded by gorgeous blue funkadelic tile that Shawn carefully cut over and over and over.. Ha! Take that peeps with the barking dogs. You KNOW who you are.

AND LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!! THIS NEW SHOWER LINER with NO MOLD. Jesus take the wheel this makes me happy.

And what a lovely faucet and that stunning bead board ceiling.....Shawn is obviously ready for his own TV show, because think about it.. HOW ANNOYING is that chick from Property Virgins?

So excited for this piece to find it's happy home on the other side of the wall, but right now I'm just going with the flow...

Everyone is Creative

What is your deeply buried gift? Don’t think it’s not down there. It is. Something is going to help it rise to the surface. When I was a child, I dreamt of going to Hollywood and making movies. I remember specifically knowing what it must feel like to do that very thing, although I was in the middle of a rural ranchette in Texas. I carried around a video recorder the size of carry on luggage, which attached to a giant news station style camera, and I made movies. I can think of three or four different films that were lost forever in the 80’s. I remember shooting portraits of my cats sitting alongside cowboy hats, with a little 110 camera, and writing story after story and reading book after book. Talking into an old recorder with an English accent, singing at the top of my lungs as I played the piano. These are the snapshots of my childhood forty years ago. When I graduated from the theatre department at Baylor University, I was not ready emotionally and did...

The Kingdom of Girls

Once upon a time there lived three girls. All were beautiful and all possessed different gifts. The Kingdom was all aglow with laughter and giggles for many years until one day the King stepped into the cavernous hall and heard nothing. "Wife!" he yelled."What has happened? Did everyone go into the village?" "Oh Honey" said the Queen stepping outside of her chamber wearing a bathrobe and her hair on top of her head. "They're not gone. They're teenagers." "What in God's name is a teenager?" shouted the King. "Oh dear." The queen remarked turning up her chalice of wine. "What isn't a teenager?"

Journey to Here

Today I was looking through some photos and came across some of the first pictures I ever saw of the girls in Ghana. I love this picture of Grace. She's got the"weird mouth" face. When she first came home and was over-stimulated, or didn't understand something, she would make this face. This is face I see today! The "mom, are you crazy?" face. It just amazes me how far the girls have come in almost nine months. I remember at the beginning Grace probably understood half of what we said and Mariama would translate for her. After you receive your referral you get to send welcome bags to your kids letting them know about their future family and these pics were taken by another mom who was there when our girls received theirs! I just love their faces.. especially Mariama!! This is me with a friend of the girls, she and her family are amazing and really added to my experience there. It's funny because I really miss the SMELL of Ghana.. the burning trash smel...
