I went to visit my mother recently, in Carlsbad, CA. Every time I see her I try to draw as many stories from her as possible. Her life interests me abundantly, and I simply can't get enough of the things she has to say. She tells me of the agreement she made with the local limo company; that she would locksmith for free, as long as when my father came back from sea they would take her to pick him up; his Navy buddies seething with jealousy.My mom is smart woman.. always using the resources provided to come up with the best possible solution. Talk about making something from nothing; I have countless "poor man" recipes that she used religiously to feed all her little chickadees.. and their friends.
Speaking of chickadees, I am the youngest of 5, no 6, no 7.. I grew up with four sisters, but as life would have it, I have two brothers as well, one from mom, and one from dad... both named Joshua. My sisters and I were all 'gifted' with musical names; which throughout my life has proven to cycle from gift to curse to gift again. All in all, I suppose I like having a unique name, and a themed family, though I am not sure how Harmony, Melody, Rhapsody, or Symphony feel. That's right, there is a Rhapsody.. hence the inspiration for Rhapsody's Rescue.And that is pretty much what this is all about.. making something from nothing... or at least something from just a little. I love to create, and though I realize there are far more talented beings out there, I enjoy the accomplishment of the end result. This is about the things I make, the brands I like, and the money I save in doing so. So, here goes something.
