Rain, rain… stay away!

Friday, January 29th, 2010

enc_monkey_textThe rain has finally stopped, I think. The rain started last week and it really rained. It wasn’t a San Diego rain, which is mist, that puts all the drivers around here in an absolute twitter. It was a real mid-western rain.

I would walk around my house and look at the ceilings, thinking that for sure, water must be dripping in. Luckily, we didn’t have any water damage inside or out. My flowers and trees are lush and green and things are smiling a little bit more now that the sun is shining.

When I walked on the beach yesterday, there was a pelican sitting on the beach looking at me. He was obviously sick or hurt and when I asked the lifeguard he told me that you’ll see a lot on the beach right now because, get this… they are tired. This guy was tired from the rains. I really think that he might have been sick (and I know the wildlife protection agency had been called for him) but I’d rather think of him as tired.http://sites.google.com/site/whalewatchingsandiego/_/rsrc/1221607042837/Home/Sunset%20Pelican.jpg

Anyway, we are all ringing ourselves out and returning to normal paradise living.

Our monkey is staying sheltered from the rain under his little red umbrella. One of my personal favorite designs, enjoy the monkey with the umbrella or see the many new monkeys we now offer!

On the Move

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

stkr_monkeybananas_textThis is the time of year to move.  People all over the country are packing up their things to relocate.  There are kids getting ready to start the second session of camp, others have almost completed their summer and are off to start sports at boarding school or college. Families are packing up their homes to move and get settled before the fall school year begins.

The Public Utilities Commission in Ohio (my old stomping grounds for college and the next sixteen years) puts out a really nice check list of things to do when preparing to move. Of course notifying your family and friends is on the ‘official’ list. This is a great place for me to remind you that this monkey would make a really adorable moving announcement. So if you are moving and want the list, here’s the link.

Whatever the reason for your move, get moving on announcements with our monkey with bananas design. I actually use this design for my own stationery because we are all moving in some way each day… hopefully forward with our projects.

This  monkey is just one of our family of monkeys. To see the others, go to Letters from Lilly.
