Health Update

Quick health update: I saw my doctor yesterday at 7 am (yes, that’s “7:00 in the blessed a.m.” as Colonel Potter used to say on M*A*S*H!). My hearing was tested and I was examined. Apparently, my hearing is at one of its best levels. And, well, there’s nothing that they can do for the hyperacusis [...]

Of health

I’ve been working hard the past week. I’ll share photos tomorrow, since I’m not planning to take photos this evening! I prefer the daylight background with my lighting. I have been working on some drawings and I have been creating some cell phone purses for my friend’s shop that will open later this month in [...]

Catching Up!

I had my treatment this week, so much of the week was spent either preparing for the treatment by getting a lot of art out or recovering from the treatment. On Monday, I spent the day working on some canvases. I created some textural backgrounds to use in collage or to paint with. I thought [...]

Catching Up!

Well, it is already Wednesday. it is already June 5th, and I have not yet written since our anniversary celebration. We went to Eddie V’s in Scottsdale on Friday evening and it was lovely. I had, upon making the reservations, I had told them that we were celebrating both our 15th anniversary and Dave’s birthday. [...]

Art Class at Fran’s

Well, let’s see. The last time I posted was on Thursday. Thursday evening, we met our friends at Chili’s for dinner. Jeff and Kiran have three kids: Julie -11, Miranda – 8, and Cody – 4. It was great to see them! I’ve known Jeff almost as long as I’ve known Dave, since he is [...]

A decent day

I tend to go through periods where I order a group of books that have been on my Amazon Wish List. Last week was one of those times. I ordered several books, some of which are still on their way, but last night I did receive Danny Gregory’s The Creative License. I was so excited [...]

Short on Spoons, but Full of Happiness

I ran out of spoons this weekend. But I ran out before I noticed. So I paid for it yesterday. And I’m still paying for it today, too. But I had a great time on Saturday. Dave had an all-day poker tournament; Angie’s husband, Chuck, had a “guy’s weekend” away. So I invited Angie and [...]

Thursday was a fun day; Friday was recovery, tea-time and art

On Thursday, after I posted, I left to meet Angie for a day of fun. We started off our morning at Starbucks (as usual) and then went to Hancock Fabrics, which was going out of business. Bad news for them. Good news for us! We cleaned out the Sulky threads and found some cool fabric [...]

Painting, painting, painting

I was honored to have the opportunity to spend Wednesday with some arty friends. DJ Pettitt, returning from her workshop in Kauai (yes, folks, the same place I left two weeks ago!), had a long layover. Angie picked her up at the airport and they both came over and we played in the studio. I’ve [...]

A gift received

I had a lovely Passover Seder with my Mother-in-Law, Father-in-Law, husband and dear friend, Angie. This was Angie’s first time at a Seder. I was so excited that she was joining us. We sort of made it a tradition in our home to have at least one non-Jewish person at a Seder each year. It [...]
