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!

Day 3:  back to pants, back to snow, back to Canada, back to Lee’s, back with the geese! 

Day 4 is a hang out with Lee day.  Went to Pincher Creek to take some cards to the gallery, out for lunch, an art show and tell, to Stasha’s to see her pottery studio and a nice supper.   Home tomorrow.

"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.
