Departure April 1…And That Ain’t No Joke

And so, with a grateful heart and a car full or art projects (carefully wrapped in dirty clothes), I packed up, took Pete the laundry, clickers and keys, got my last Peet’s and I was away!   Checked into my nice Air B and B in Vegas and then headed for The Sphere, only about 15 minutes away.   What a crazy place.   Loved it.   Great movie, creepy AI robots but a very cool, futuristic building.   Loved the changing outside of it.   Glad I went.   Then some In-N-Out for supper and Day 1 of the return trip home can be called a success!  















Day 2 ends after finding a Peet’s in Vegas for breakfast (woohoo), a great audiobook (Famous Last Words by Gillian McAllister) for the 9 hour drive, a nice Airbnb with a soaker tub and some Chick-fil-A.   All good!

"I think I'll miss you most of all.”

Sigh.  

Until we meet again, “You stay classy, San Diego!” ❤️😍🥰😘

March Musings

What a month it’s been.  So, so much to be grateful for!  The condo is terrific, Paint Out in Mission Trails Park, spent a day with Ward and Annie in La Jolla at the market and seal, sea lion and baby cormorant watching, painting class, pottery class, yoga, walks, teaching ecoprinting class, entered 2 paintings into the “Art Of The Avocado” competition in Fallbrook, dog/cats/housesitting, “3 Summers Of Lincoln” at La Jolla Playhouse, fond farewells-especially bittersweet as a return looks less certain than usual for next year at this point.  So, remaining days for final experiences with hopes that returning stays possible for the future.
