Chugging Along

We're all moving in slow motion this week. Tony's feeling a little better every day but it sure is slow going. Faith doesn't have a kidney stone after all; she strained her intercostal muscles after trying to use a jungle gym at a park a few weeks ago. People over 6 should not try this, ha. Her new employer has kindly allowed her to start after our vacation. I just feel like I have this gross cold that doesn't want to go away and now can't smell or taste anything. I hope that doesn't last long because it's a very cruel trick to play on a chubby woman who likes to cook and loves to eat....AND who's going on vacation in 6 days! Not cool Rona, not cool.

But it has given me more time to paint. The ocean is calling to me...

This is Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz, CA. We went there in 1985 with Mom and I ran across the pics she took in her things. I can't believe she kept them after all this time. Tony wanted me to paint this on a rock.

I got these ideas from Pinterest and fell in love with them. I whipped this bunch out in just a few days because they were so easy to do. I can't wait to go rock hunting on the beach; because I only have about 3 buckets full and that will never be enough haha.

Tiny Abe will be neutered tomorrow and put up for adoption locally with a medical waiver about his condition. The sanctuary is full and couldn't take him. He is now 3 months old and has been here for 2 months so this is the only real home he's ever known. This is going to be a hard week.
