Going south.
Down to Gascon country,south-west France for three weeks.
Nothing else to do there but look after a house for an absent friend and feed her cat.
Taking my paints, etc - three weeks alone to paint - wow, bliss!!!

Watch out, Marlene. Somethings virtual things can cost you actual money...
I'll have a double Drambuie, on the rocks. Yum!
Tomorrow my wife and I are taking our grandson to "Snow Mountain", a winterized section of Stone Mountain (Near Atlanta, GA). They have an artificial hill for tubing, and a snow play area, as well as most of the "usual" entertainments. If it doesn't rain, it should be great. It'll be warm enough, hopefully not too warm.

Hubby will be graduating tomorrow from a Cafe Training Program that has helped him secure employment in a new profession. I will be attending his party at The Starfish Cafe (http://www.starfishcafebsl.com/).

The Los Angeles Art Deco Society is having a cocktail party at the historic Biltmore Hotel in downtown LA, so I may go to that.
"The Art Deco Society of Los Angeles celebrates and preserves the architecture, design, arts, music, dance, fashion and elegance of Art Deco."
Or not...

packing for a move. Hot chocolate please, thanks.
Hey, how's your ankle (?) I seem to remember you were going to be out of commission for a while after a fall...all better?

Hahah TGIF!
Well, not really, I always have my mind on working on my art, so its usually sort of a metaphorical weekend...
Just spending time with the family! Hot chai please :)

Tomorrow I'll be attending a painting demo by Shanna Kunz in the afternoon then in the evening attending an awards ceremony for a local art show. Sunday I'll try to get in some time at the easel, unless the weather turns out to be better than forecast then I'll try to get some painting time in outdoors.

Too Damn Cold here to think about much else than keeping warm. It was somewhere around -20 something below here today I believe. I did get out today to retrieve a piece of art work that was in a show that ended and dropped off two more for a juried show that is beginning. The rest of the weekend I'll stay put and probably drink hot chocolate and some bourbon to keep warm. I also probably will be reading a book for a book club that I belong to.

Fran, Thanks for asking...still struggling...I measure every step with an ache. I swear, it didn't hurt at all when I broke it!
We've been doing spring cleaning all week and will continue throughout the weekend.
I need a glass of whine

So I take it you're going to be resting, Marlene? That sounds pretty rough. Hope you get well soon.

Bummer, Marlene. Hope you have something to keep the pressure off of it and the cold out. Winter breaks have got to be the worst.
Mike...New profile pic in the future?

4 degrees here right now. Storm headed in for the weekend, again.
Texas Roadhouse & Hobby lobby for a few supplies tonight.
I'll be home painting ( watercolor - 24 x 36 , why did I say I could do it ? ) , with a chocolate cupcake for reinforcement.
Marlene, when I injured my foot ( snapped tendon) it took one full year to heal. No more pretty shoes for me.

Well we are also preparing for another major snowfall - the last couple days were around -35, so will probably not do much and I'll have a glass or two of Chardonnay please and thank you!

Pat: there are two boat-tour operations in Arransas, TX. Take the smaller boat, not the big catamaran. They get closer to the whooping cranes, generally, because they have less draft. That's my understanding. I took the tour on the smaller boat, after asking surveying locals and customers which was better. As I recall, the tour was in the $50 to $75 range, per person. About the same price on both. Call me at x0x-xx5-0y8y, if you wish.

Well, I just got a cup of dandelion tea, but if my soul mate ever makes it home, I'll have that glass of wine. I'm sure I'll hike and paint all weekend long. Thanks for asking Marlene and have a wonderful weekend!!

We are having an early spring here on Vancouver Island, on Canada's west coast. Everything is blooming early, the sun is supposed to be shining tomorrow with temps in the 50's, so I am hoping to wander outside with my camera.
Don't hate me... ;-)

Yay! Hurrah for warm pockets. No no, Marlene, but thank you. You probably need it to heal. Not suffering too badly here. It's more like a refrigerator, so can't complain.
What about a march hare, Mike? You did say the ushanka's made of rabbit. Awww. Please?
P.S. Not hating your fortune at all, Marilyn. Have fun.

Janine,
I had just bought 2 pair of killer stilettos. Never worn when I snapped my ankle. I can only look at them now.
Maybe I'll plant herbs in them this weekend! Lol
Marilyn,
Our Orange blossoms are budding, Waaaay to early. But, oh man, that fragrance is heavenly!

Eating the best pizza ever, having glass of wine, watching "John Wick" and celebrating a completed commissioned painting!

Yum, orange blossoms are one of my favorite scents.
This weekend I'm going to continue searching for two lost dogs. One has been missing for 10 days, the other for five months. It means hiking and/or driving a vast network of logging roads that cover acres and acres of land. Also along the powerlines. I've become obsessed. If people are to be believed, both dogs have been spotted recently.
I'll just have lots of water please!
Still hobbling around? Any idea when you'll be strolling/jogging/pacing without a limp?
9 Years Ago
Good luck in finding the dogs, Peggy! Bring a pocketful of smelly treats. Wishing you the best!

Teaching tai chi, pruning roses and tidying up in the garden, making a fun sign I have been planning for a while that will be used for our bed and breakfast now that Barnet Boy has cut the wood to the right size and shape, starting at a blank canvas... I don't drink so make mine a cappuccino.
