Well hello there everyone, and a special welcome to 3516Planter...Planter are your cacti in the house or outdoors...I guess many of them flower? I've only ever had 2 which came from a grouping of plants I was given and it did not take me more than a few weeks to kill them off...guess the closest to cacti I have is Christmas Cactus..they don't look healthy but they are still living...

Murmur..how did DH make out at tournament..win anything special..will he be going on tour shortly??? How was the visit to your mom and dad's..must be a terrible thing for a man to watch his wife fade away..and visa/versa..they are lucky to have you and DH..

Tangie-Meeks is adorable..my Aunt had one ions ago, had no voice..cutest little thing..you could see him just a yapping but nothing came out...during my homework period last night I believe I watched some of 'live earth' from Australia...you poem cuts to the truth doesn't it...what we pass on is what our grandchildren will inherit..

Liz..what wonderful treasures did you find today..I had to be in Barrie for 8:45am so couldn't do my Sat. hunt for things I really don't need lol

Shar I loved the photo's of your painting..so vibrant..my batique I'm doing next Sunday has similar colors..looking forward to it..the chair today is a little tooo cutesy for me...but on a chair it will be okay...I enjoy more realism..love trompe l'oeil..how did you day go? Sorry I haven't been around much these past few days but haven't had an hour to myself...Kyle (grandson #1) just called to say he was coming over to keep me company..I'll probably be sleeping by 8pm..then he'll have to babysit me...
Made it through the day, tired though..we did not end up painting outside because of the heat but did have our 'pot luck' luncheon outside..was nice, but we all took far too much time and came home with unfinished projects..hopefully tomorrow I'll finish the back, put chair together and place it on front lawn with it's table...

Didn't especially enjoy this type of painting..it's flick the brush here, flick the brush there..no structure so it will be okay when put into the chair..when I took photo to show you all the house looks off kilter but that's because the chair is concave...

Dayna we've had rain and by no means are we anywhere as dry as you are in CA but we are on minimal ration..because my house # is 18 I'm even numbers so I get to water tomorrow and then every 2nd day and only before 7 am or after 7 pm...looks like we may get rain tonight..that would help..fire bans are on as well...how close would the fires be to you..would you be affected by the smoke???

Show you the painting class...girl on left closest to you is one of my best girlfriends..her name is Diane...she's a beautiful artist but she wasn't overly fond of this project either...


Picture on the left side wall is the batique I'm doing next Sunday...glutten for punishment...
