A Tale of Hobbies...

RABlog Week Day 4 Thursday - Hobbies: Hobbies are healthy or maybe they are not? What is your hobby and how does it help with your autoimmune conditions? If you do not have a hobby, imagine a great hobby for a person dealing with RA. 
Trevor, The Tell Tale Dog

My biggest hobby is ultimately being creative, while spreading awareness. I like to use pictures to describe, what I am trying to convey.

My blog got a big face lift in 2011, when Brenda's Brainstorm added a storyteller, named Trevor, The Tell Tale Dog. I thought having tales with a golden retriever's point of view, would be fun and creative.

It turned out to be much more, than I ever dreamed possible. He became not only a big part of my blogs posts, but also inspirational messages. I am going to share the life of Trevor in pictures, that I have taken and also worked with graphics. I really enjoy bringing him to life, not only with blog posts, but with pictures as well.

As I write this, today has not been a stellar day, RA wise. I am in massive pain. RA is just a part of my life, but it will never have me. Becoming creative started after my brain tumor experience, as my blog was originally titled: Brenda's Brainstorm.

I hope you enjoy these photos. They are spreading awareness for both arthritis and brain tumors.

What are your hobbies?

~Brenda~

Hello, it's Trevor here with our February tale. Did you realize that today 10 years ago, Brenda's Brainstorm added a new addition? I became storyteller for this blog. It was first; Featuring Trevor's Tales, then it was changed to Trevor the Tell Tale Dog and now it's Brenda's Brainstorm & Trevor. I'm now known as T Man, with my own production company. BOL  Seriously folks, Brenda has allowed me to enjoy quite a plush lifestyle. Get it? BOL Not only am I her storyteller for our monthly blog posts, I was featured twice in her first published blog posts with CreakyJoints back in 2012. I became a mascot for some special JA kids. I've been mentioned over the airwaves by our good friend; Rick Franzo. He thought I was real. Even called me a trickster. BOL Can you imagine that? I was even mentioned in the first book that Brenda coauthored in 2016. We are not going to get into details here, as most of our readers know the background.  We are spending a quiet day

A Tale of Education...

Hello my fellow readers! It's Trevor here, with our October tale. By now, most of you are back to school or at least performing with distance learning, which is a new concept, during this time of navigating during a pandemic. For that reason, we ask that you consider this blog post, our back to school addition. BOL It's going to be covering education.  This all started when Brenda read an article that considered rheumatoid arthritis, a lesser known type. Are you kidding me, was her response. Brenda is quite passionate, when it comes to terminology, because as an advocate, she feels it is her responsibility to get the word out there, if it is not correct in any way, shape or form. That is who Brenda is. Allow her to be your teacher for this post, with my help of course. BOL First of all regarding rheumatoid arthritis. You have to know first, that there are at least 100 different types. Osteoarthritis is #1 and Rheumatoid Arthritis is #2. I hardly would consider that a lesser kno

Tale of Crafts and a Mother's Love...

This is going to be about my mom....and just how special she is to me. She has not only been a great mom....but she is extremely talented! While I was growing up.....she sewed many of our clothes....made many... very delicious meals.....as she is a great cook. One of my old time favorites....and still is to this day....is her chicken and dumplings. Cheese buttons....another favorite....and at Christmas.....her famous sparrows....which are deep fried donuts with raisins in them. NO we don't eat little birds. lol. In addition to sewing many clothes, she also did a lot of crafts. She has made close to 30 pieced quilts on her sewing machine. The special thing about these quilts...is that they were usually made with different materials left over from clothes....she had made us or that my sister had. She also has made doilies consisting of....dresser scarfs, different shapes and sizes for tables, etc. These were crocheted....as well as pot holders. She once made tea cups....which
