Friday Blah Blah

Its Friday already, where do the days go.  When I worked the days dragged by till the weekend.  Once your retired everyday is like a weekend.  Today I am meeting my friends for Lunch to talk about our upcoming trip to Phoenix, and just catch up.  

Going on a little vacation soon to Vancouver.  My parents were born and raised there, and I lived there all thru high school.  I love Vancouver its a lot like San Francisco, only not so hilly.  The weather might even be better in San Francisco. Vancouver does rain a lot, but at least it never gets to 40 below.  Now you could never afford to live there, the prices have sky rocketed.

The Dancing Queens

I have quite a few old master painters  whose work I love.  One
of them happens to Bernard Buffet.  Now Bernie had a thing for the
ladies with or with out clothes, the old dog. I have used as a guide one of his pictures, and put my spin on it.  These ladies look like
they might need help to get a dance partners.

The Cleaning Bug

Sunday is usually the day I do nothing, just laze around, shop

or whatever.  Today I got the cleaning bug, you gotta act on

it when you get it, doesn't come my way very often (lol).  So I cleaned out my winter closet, I have two closets where I keep

my clothes , summer and winter.  So I took everything out , tried

on things, piled up the clothes I wanted to give to the Goodwill 

the things I wanted refreshed by washing, etc.  Just about took

all afternoon, but its done, and now I am ready for winter.  I don't

want it to come at all, but when it does I am ready.

Hey Saturday

I thought I would do the blog before I went out to enjoy my Saturday.  What , am I going to do today, I am going shopping
with the daughter.  I am looking at the sales, there are a million of them on right now.  Going to the Michaels to spend my 50 percent off.  Home to sit on the deck and enjoy the nice weather, and a
bbq of Salmon for dinner tonight.  Okay I am not having the Salmon, because I don't like it, I am having shrimp on the BBQ.  Ok I am off to enjoy this beautiful Saturday....

Danger Curves Ahead

Have you dreamed of being a size 0.  I have not ever had that dream but a 10 would be nice.  I know no matter how hard I try
I will never be a 10.  I am okay with that, because you take what you can get.  Also my 64 year old self  needs to keep a few pounds
on her just in case.  That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Not Just another pretty face

Well I have been busy, preparing some canvases and painting backgrounds.  So I thought I would
show you these.  I did these on blocks of wood, and thought abut making a wall of my ladies .  So far
4 are done.  We will see how many blocks of wood I can find the same size.

I haven't been doing much, except painting, I have been lax over the summer, sometimes you just
need to step back and refresh yourself mentally.  We are going on a little trip to Vancouver in
about a week, just kinda spur of the moment, don't know how long we are going to stay.  Hope
we have good weather.  In Vancouver they have been having great weather, hot and no rain, which
is unusual for Vancouver.

So talk to you soon

Not just visiting

I don't know if the art of the blog is dying a slow death.  I have been away and I have been using

blogloving, which in all truth I do not like.  So I am back and not just visiting, I am going to

give myself 6 months and see if I can build up some readership on my blog..  I think my art has

improved over the past 8 years that I have been blogging and I want to share with you , my tips and

tricks, my new finds, and some great videos.  So onto towards new and better things from me.  This

is the first page in a book that I made.  Not the ragged edges, I wont tell you how to make those, they

weren't in the plan.  So I look forward to sharing my life with you, in all its boring glory.
