Monday.... (Backdated)
May. 16th, 2005 07:46 pmTom won an honorable mention award for some clay masks that he made. They are Comedy and Tragedy. The bonus is that he made them for Kevin for Father's Day. I think it's cool that he won the award for something he made for dear old dad.
He made me some candle holders for Mother's Day. They are late, but he did tell me they would be. I like them. He also made me something to burn incense cones. I don't burn cones a lot anymore, but I might burn them more often with the new holder.
Sending my entries in for the HEB and Jelly Belly contest.
I took a page from Scrooge McDuck's book and decided to work smarter not harder with regard to my cataloging and scanning projects. Using OCR software didn't work as I originally hoped it would for this project, but... running the contents pages via OCR and then plugging the info into the database has speeded up things a lot! I am able to catalog several books at a time then run and edit scans.
I have The Silver Chair by C. S. Lewis running and finished Wisdom of the 90s by George Burns. I have several others including The Black Opal by Victoria Holt, but I can't seem to get into that one. I guess I was in a mood for humor on my last library trip because I picked up George Burns, Erma Bombeck, and Jonathan Winters.
