FLIES! hahahahahah!

(First draft of new about page)

Telling the time:

Trudi’s Treasures: a combination of responses, thoughts, ramblings, conclusions and maybe an eCommerce site with my homemade goodies. In celebration of 100+ followers, I set up a brand new Facebook page to showcase their work.

Building the clock:

I was barely five and embarrassed. The joke made was about my chalk drawing of a what appeared to me to be a log cabin in the woods – Hammel woods in Shorewood : Daisies of GSA evening camp with a bunch of unknown-to-me females who COO’d and AHH’d over the piece of art the prior evening.

I would say about 75% of them have struggled with some form of mental illness at one time or another.
