Several years ago when I  still painted  in  watercolor, I surprised my daughter, and son-in-law with a Zebra painting for Christmas. Because art is so subjective, I seldom give away my paintings, and certainly don’t want to put anyone in a position to hang my art every time  I visit.   On the other hand,  I am my daughter’s  mother, and after the long hours I spent in labor, my daughter owes me don’t you think?

This was among the last watercolor paintings I did before I switched to acrylics.   Several pictures we taken,  and they all turned out the same.  I think it’s blurry because of the non glare glass.   Or….maybe I’m just a bad photographer….  You pick!

“Bunny Tails!”

Bubbles

Bubbles

It seems that Bubbles is now about seven months old, and when a female bunny is between six, and nine months of age, it time to bred.  So off she went to be breed….

Sweet Bubbles was getting a little aggressive, and not playing well with others!  After much talking with the “bunny breeder,” it was decided that this behavior was because she was ready to be bred….and so it went….

Now Bubbles is every bit a soft, and sweet as she looks, and we are looking forward to seeing  her tiny, or not so tiny baby bunnies.  We are told they can have rather large liters, not like us, way larger than us!  At this point it’s,  wait and see.

Dusty checking up on his humans!

While Bubbles is going through all these life changes, Dusty is hanging around as men often do, eating grass, and hippity hopping around his large park-like yard.  Or in other words, Dusty is oblivious to whats going on with Bubbles.

By the way, if you remember after Dusty was neutered his ear flopped over.  Everyone thought he was sad, and the Bunny Dr. said it would stand up when he returned to normal.  Well, his ear is still flopped down, and seldom stands up.  We think Dusty is perfect even though he does have one lazy ear!

Thank you for hopping by to check on Bubbles and Dusty, there will be more excitement to come…

Finally Finished!

By Wednesday evening I was really over having my home torn up, and the three men who working on the floors were finally finished, and moving in our furniture. Even though we had almost everything in boxes, we were clean, and ready to start putting everything together….tomorrow!

We still haven’t put it all back, but the only one pushing me is me.  And I’m not killing myself dealing with it all at once.  The whole idea was to weed out some things so we wouldn’t be so crowded.

Needless to say these floors have so much more character, and are so much more beautiful than the old ones.

Now for the good stuff…..I know this blog goes all over the world, but I’m going to post the name of our Installer incase anyone close by can use him if they choose.

McQuaid Flooring, owner Connor McQuade  951-694-2630 – http://www.mcquaidflooring@hotmail.com.

Let me reestablish that the problem with the Bamboo floors was not a result of the installation.   That was a manufacturer default!  We have had very good results from our installer.  His crew is polite, doesn’t swear, smoke, or drink on the job.  That sounds funny, but it’s surprising how many workers are unprofessional.                                      These men are the best!

And finally my tiny studio.  It is small, many things are still in boxes, and haven’t been organized.  But when I’m finished, it will be all mine.

Last Friday evening we were invited to Jake’s Restaurant in Del Mar, California for an Anniversary party for Jake’s.

My son, Dennis was playing the music, the atmosphere was pure perfection as people were mingling, the hors d’oeuvres table was alive and featuring the most fabulous Hawaiian Hors d’oeuvres.

As the afternoon wore on, and the sun started to set, my husband and I both felt like we were on a relaxing Hawaiian vacation.
