Sweet Adeleine

The blog post today will be a little different than my others. This is because this post is the last one I am writing before I go to college. It will probably also be my only post before Christmas, because I don't think I will have time to write posts while I am at college. I do not think this will be my last post on this blog; however, there is a certainty that I will be writing fewer posts over longer periods of time. All that being said, I hope you enjoy this post fully and won't mind a little bit of a wait for the next one! Original, inspired by another water dragon shown below. Today, I have for you a variety of drawings I have made over the last few weeks, such as the one above. I recently got inspired to draw more (maybe because I am heading to college soon for a design major), so I have been trying to enhance what little bit I do know about drawings skills such as shading and color matching. I drew anything and everything that came to mind, which meant quite a ...

One of my favorite pasta recipes is actually a very simple one. I've actually made this recipe by my self at least once or twice because it is so simple. 😉 Click the image to enlarge. The ingredients for this recipe are very few; in fact, there are only five! 40 oz chicken bouillon (TIP: make your own!  Combine 5 cups water with 2 tablespoons bouillon powder.) 16 oz package linguine pasta (2) 14.5 oz cans Italian style tomatoes   (2) 16 oz jars of Alfredo pasta sauce 2 tablespoons of basil (or Italian seasoning) Click the image to enlarge.

We have discovered this recipe can be greatly enhanced by adding some sauteed mushrooms to the top, but they are not a necessity for this to be a delicious dish. I hope you take some time to try this recipe out, and fe...

Recently, my family and I had a chance to take a four-day vacation to the nearby city of San Antonio. We had a multitude of activities and I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Some of them, we drove to because they were simply too far to walk to; however, if the distance wasn't too far, we walked per my request. I love walking in the city and it gave us good exercise during the trip. I have many pictures I took during the trip just so I could share the activities with you, so feel free to enjoy them! (And don't forget you can click the image to make it easier to see!) The first day, we had to make the trip to San Antonio. Since this is a four-hour drive, we didn't start our first activity until about noon. After the long journey, our dogs were fully ready for the hike up Comanche Lookout we had planned. They soon exhausted their excess energy when we became slightly lost in the many trails that crossed back and forth; however, we did make it to the top of the Lookout eventual...
