Sunday Sketches - On the Water

For Sunday Sketches, I did an angel on the water in my art journal (5"h x 7"w) in watercolour pencil. I base the wings on pictures of birds.  Have a wonderful Sunday!  We are getting so close to Christmas.

Home Baked Goodies

Some longtime friends dropped by the other night with some home-baked goodies.  Isn't that what the season is all about?  It's a great chance to catch up on each other's news too and to know that everyone is well.

This past Thursday we had about 20 cms (7.8 inches) of snow all day.  It was so pretty.  I went for a walk after we shovelled the driveway, we actually shovelled twice.  I met this friendly dog in a pathway and his owner was not far behind.  She was on cross country skis.  She was about my age, at first I perceived her to be older then I realized that is what I look like!  I told her she had a great idea with the skis as I trudged through all the snow.

Paint Party Friday - Her Orange Wings

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This piece is called 'Her Orange Wings'. It's done in my art journal (5"h x 7"w) in watercolour pencil.

Bacon Garlic Cheesebread

Daughter L made these bacon garlic cheesebread loaves recently for an office party she attended. Doesn't it look great? Unfortunately, it was an all-female party and the host is gluten-free. Many of the ladies ate mostly salads but did taste the bread. It meant we had lots of leftovers and we didn't mind!

Just like dad

Son K sent me this cute photo he found online:

I heard there is a huge storm heading for Northern California and I am worried for family and friends who live there. 

So True

Well, I've mailed all our Christmas cards out and most of the gifts are wrapped.  Mind you, I use gift bags!  The tree's been up for about a week and I'm enjoying having it lit up at night, it makes me happy.  The house is all decorated. 

Good One

This seemed like a good one to post considering this commercial time of year!

Son K has college exams this week then he is off until the winter semester starts in the New Year.  It will be nice to have a break.

One of my sisters suggested that our mom has dementia as opposed to Alzheimers.  They are different, both bad.  Lately, she doesn't seem able to get dressed by herself.  It is depressing.  She is 76.
