News from Cauraco

The all long the beach are these amazing abandoned houses. Right on the ocean.  They are just left to rot.  As this island is a world heritage site it's costs a lot of money to fix them.
I ave been creating art in this little book I brought and some black pens and a watercolor set.
I enjoy just doing nothing but the hubster not so much.  This is not the kind of holiday for him.

Sadness

 

well its been a busy couple of days around the old homestead

Devil Dog has not been herself for a couple of weeks,\

so we decided she needed a trip to the Doctor, for a checkup

while she has cancer, she has lung cancer, and stomach cancer,

something is also wrong with her spine, cancer, they aren't sure.

nothing can be done about this except keep her comfortable

according to the vet is 1 month - 6 months

we were so upset we almost cancelled the holiday

she like a child to us.  But my daughter assured us she

would ensure she felt loved and cared for while we were gone.

She is off her food, she sleeps all the time, but the vet

says she really isn't in any pain, yet, she is not whimpering

I think she will tell us when she's ready to go,

 

Okay enough gloom, the weather in Curacao is 31 today

and here its 4, so looking forward to that, a week

today we will be there.

 

 



Mr and Mrs Clean

 

Hey, well today was all about clean up, yep

the hubster likes to move all the furniture, vacuum, do the floors

wipe down all the windows and baseboards, dust, and fluff.

Of course he doesn't do this by himself I of course help,

he likes to do this 4 times a year.  But of course its done

every week as well when we clean up.  Yep you guessed

it he is a little clean obsessed.

So that took just about all day, he has now gone to do an errand,

I think he needs to get off retirement and go back to work.

Just so I can have a little peace and quiet around here. (lol)

I asked him what he was going to do well we were on

holidays , I suggested he rent himself out to the hotel

and be a cleaning lady while we are there (lol) he

did not think that was to funny.

I have been thinking about tanning before we go  but its so bad for you.  So

I decided on a spray tan, a day before we go on the holiday, that

way, I wont look as pasty white as I look now.

Checked the temp there 31 all this week.  We will be there

next Wednesday at 10:00 at night.  I think we are taking the

milk run, Edmonton to Toronto, Toronto to Miami, and Miami to Curacao.

We live at 12:00am and arrive there at 10:00 PM, its going to be a long

day.

 

 



Hey how's your Sunday going.?

The title happens to be one of my favourite songs.  Well lets see what's on for today. 
I have to go to the library, Costco (that always takes awhile) you go in there with thoughts
of what your going to get then walk out with something or lots of somethings you never thought about.  The hubster is having salmon tonight, fish is really not one of my go to foods, I don't know
I really don't like the taste.  I know its good for you but ew not for me.  But seafood another matter, tonight its lobster, might not be fresh from the ocean, but good enough for me.  I love lobster and
crab, mussels, shrimp etc.  So hopefully on my trip I will be able to sample some delectable seafood.
The shopper has gone to Banff for the weekend, off bonding with her friends, and getting a little
skiing in before the snow is gone.

The weather here is suppose to be really good, warm and sunny and that's what were looking for.
I have some missions from the bride to go and scout out for her.  So that's Saturday and of
course I will stop at my favourite art store because I need a new water brush to take on the holiday.

It was going to be YouTube Friday again, but I haven't got my self organized yet, but it will
be next Friday for sure.

Bad Patterns

I saw a picture of Kim Kardashian online and saw her in this dress. I had to draw it.  Not because I
loved it, because it was so ugly it screamed my name draw me.

Today at WW I lost 3.8 lbs, yeah me.  I know it is going to slow down soon, so I will take it
as it comes.  On my holiday hopefully, I wont gain any.  But I am going to be on holidays
and I am going to watch what I eat but not going to be so strict with myself.

The client wants three pictures from me, one a ballerina dancer, one a bride, those are no
problem but the third one is 4x3 and its to big for me to do.  Its going to be impossible to
paint it in the studio, so I am going to have to decline that one.  I have been dreading it,
but am going to do it tonight, phone her.

Well let you know tomorrow what happens.
