"Daily Chalk" - ChalkShirts In The Inlander

I know this is a little late but I just came across this yesterday.  Apparently last December ChalkShirts was written about in an article on what to buy a "Spoiled Brat" for Christmas.  Ha!  At least we know that ChalkShirts are good for something.  The shirt in this photo was one of our first models.  We now have the new "Splattered Paint" chalkboard.  It is much more stylish and is now available in our ChalkShirts Store or at Figpickels Toy Emporium on Sherman Ave. in CDA.

"Daily Chalk" - Memorial Day

Memorial Day

It's memorial day.  I am so thankful for all of those were willing to sacrifice their lives for our freedom.  I had a grandpa who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-day.  Fortunately he was not one of the incredible number of casualties during World War II.  There were however, thousands of soldiers who did die in that battle and so many other battles.  I am thankful for the sacrifices they made and also the sacrifices their families made.  Freedom has not been cheap.  Thank you so much.

The "Daily Chalk"

Hello, in Russian.

I have noticed quite a bit of web-traffic from Russia, so I wanted to at least say, "hello."

Soon I will be revamping our store to make available more styles and sizes.  Also, I will be making international shipping available.

The "Daily Chalk" - OLD?

Old?

I had a very interesting conversation with two of my sons the other day.  They were listening to a tape of me "talking" with my dad back in 1979. (I was a year old.)  The date was mentioned at the beginning of the tape, "1979."   

Son #1, very surprised, asks, "you were alive back then?"  

I answer in the affirmative, "Yes I was,"  

Son #1 in shock exclaims, "Wow, you were alive way back in the old days."  

Son #2 chimes in with, "that was way back when Jesus was on earth."  

Son #1 replies, "no, that was back in Bible times."  "Wow dad, you are old!" 

Son #2 finishes up in agreement, "yeah!"

6 & 8 Year-old's perspective: "I am old."  

My perspective: I am still the same person I was when I was 6 or 8.  "Old"

                           is ever changing and always beyond reach.  A form of 

                          "Kick-the-Can" I suppose.

:-) I guess it happens to all of us some time or another. :-)  

Consider me a member.

Happy Mother's Day - A day late. :-)

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there.  You are a wonderful blessing to all of us.   I can truthfully say that none of us would be where we are without you.  :-)   I hope that you had a good day and that all of your little or big blessings(children) blessed you.  

By the way, I did remember to call my mom yesterday.  

Have a great week everybody.  We are preparing to enjoy the sun that has finally arrived up here in the Northwest.  It looks like we may have spring after all.

The "Daily Chalk"

And the answer is, the Rhine River in Germany.

ChalkShirts is traveling the Globe.  If you have any pictures of ChalkShirts around anywhere please send them to  info@chalkshirts.com.  I would love to post them. 

Can anybody guess where this picture was taken?

Here is clue #1, "the shoreline in the background is not American."
Clue # 2:  It is a river that does not flow directly into the Atlantic ocean or the Pacific ocean.
Clue # 3:  What do Yodeling, Sauerkraut, and the Netherlands have in common?
Clue #4:  Julias Caesar bridged and crossed this river in 53 and 55 BC.

If you know - post your answer.

The "Daily Chalk"

What is on your mind?

The "Daily Chalk"

Ever been in a situation where you had an opinion but nobody asked for it? You were left voiceless. 

How about this.  I was in Leavenworth listening to a Bavarian band yodel up a storm.  They were great!  I wasn't able to wait around till they were done to let them know how I felt, so I wrote it to them. 

"Yodeling Rocks!"  Big smiles and a chuckle from the Base player.  Fun was had by all.

Enjoy your day!  Go make somebody smile.
