What's Up With The Name? You may ask as many people do, "What's up with the name Thankful For Orange?" Admittedly it is an odd name for a website or anything for that matter. Why orange? After all my personal favorite color is blue and this site is about my work and creative life so what's up with orange?
Introducing... While Tuten is odd sounding when correctly pronounced as "Toot in" or "2-10" it is my name and though I may have wanted to change it when younger to be free of all the kidding, I have come to appreciate and embrace my name. It's different. Different is good, especially in my life which is best summed up with the word CREATIVE.
Latest Project We purchased a home this year on almost 2 acres and we couldn't be happier. The house is as old as I am and was in need of repair. We have done a lot to the house so far. The pic above is of the fireplace rework, just one of many projects we have undertaken since we moved in. Click the photo to view the progress.

SPOTLIGHT

Manhattan Declaration

A Call of Christian Conscience
"It is ironic that those who today assert a right to kill the unborn, aged and disabled and also a right to engage in immoral sexual practices, and even a right to have relationships integrated around these practices be recognized and blessed by law—such persons claiming these "rights" are very often in the vanguard of those who would trample upon the freedom of others to express their religious and moral commitments to the sanctity of life and to the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife." -manhattan declaration


I make no apologies for my beliefs and I love my country. If you are of the same mindset I encourage you to read more and to join with me in signing what hundreds of thousands of others have also signed as a testament to what we believe.
