Okay, so up top is a picture of my humble room. It's simple but I find solace there.This is where Marianne and Felix stayed for the few days they were in Rhode Island.
Every guest should be greeted by a welcome note and a box of sweet treats ;)
Brian took Felix to his first ever American baseball game!
Felix isn't smiling for the stranger that took this photo, but I can tell you that he said the game was the highlight of his trip!
ooops, kind of a small photo but here you can see the boys "in the home stretch" watching a Red Sox game. Felix even called a homerun before the guy hit the ball!!

There's whimsy in the skies on Commercial Street in Provincetown.
Always look up my friends, there's so much to see!

There's a restaurant (Fanizzi's) in Ptown where we had a super brunch with a spectacular view of the beach. Ouside they had wonderful pots of Mums and ornamental cabbages. I used my creative license to add cactus and put the arrangement on the table! Happy Cactus Monday!!
Quick sketch while having coffee in my new studio. Wooo-hooo!
I had to photograph this wonderful metal sculpture for my Cactus Monday pals!
This man and his 84 year old dad make the most unusual and awesome things out of scrap metal. What a trip!!
Happy Cactus Monday!
(Oh, I don't remember his name. I even tried Googling him.)
Ever have one of those days? Weeks? Years?
I'm just leaving a quick note to tell everyone that I'll be busy this next week with the latest (and hopefully final) move for a long time.
I'm looking forward to setting up house and studio in the new place and to hopefully creating new work soon.
My journal and ATC commitments will be met as soon as I can clear the deck. After all, you don't want me to create crappy doo-doo, do you? So I'm giving myself permission to take some of the pressure off and get my life settled.
Give me a week or two (tops!) to be back in the saddle.
Thanks for all the snail mail, emails and love you've been sending my way.
See you soon!!

Okay, so here we are in PTown without Mim, Soulbrush, Marianne, Lynn or Suki. It's just me, Debra Kay and KJ making the most of it. We knew that Marianne, Soulbrush and Lynn couldn't make the long trip on short notice and we knew Suki was weary from making so many sojourns this summer. But Mim actually made reservations intending full well she'd be here. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs though, so Mim had to cancel her reservation at Captain Cooks. As you all know Mim had a way of showing up anyway. Kismet! Just look at what she was up to on KJ's post! I actually witnessed Mim carrying on and was fortunate enough to be able to take pictures myself.
First we spotted her sitting in front of this red building that had something to do with happiness (who knows.) She really did look great in her black and white 40's ensemble waiting for us to show up.She does look a bit miffed though.
Here she is with 'Big Chief Standing' at the art co-op. Mim made herself comfy resting in his hand while the rest of us carried her around the town. He was so protective of her!
Mim trusted 'Big Chief Standing' so much that she let him convince her to go horseback riding. That was way beyond her comfort zone, but Mim is a trooper!
The one thing I was surprised about was how much Mim loves vodka! We went to Ross' Bar because they're known for their selection of vodkas and their martinis and cosmopolitans. Mim insisted on being photographed in front of all the vodka bottles. (She fell over at least 3 times, I swear.)
Who knew she was such a lightweight!
Poor Mim spent most of the next day in one coffee shop after the other. Good thing Debra Kay and KJ went along with it because they're both addicted to coffee breaks ;) Chocolate shops and bakeries were a close second.
(I, of course have NO addictions.)
Finally, Mim was ready to go to bed and call it a night. Thank goodness Debra Kay made a special birdhouse for Lolo that was just the right size for Mim. (And she didn't need a reservation!)
Oh my goodness, is that Ms. Emily Rabbit herself who showed up in her purple polka-dot bikini? I think they stayed up all night talking and sharing jelly beans which I hear is the best cure for a vodka hangover!
