New Year's Eve

New sheets seemed like a good idea. Monty and Simon want to know when I'm going to get them on the bed please....

If you are like me you might be thinking about ongoing schemes to be healthier. I need to sit at the computer less. So I gave myself an allotment of 5 hours in a week. Is that too much? I made these little chits representing 15 minutes each so I could keep track. I probably just wanted to make little pieces of paper with stickers on them... but I'm going to try...

The Holiday Spirit...

Ginger is unwrapping chew bones for Monty and Simon. It's easy to make dogs happy...

We turned on all our Holiday lights, real and electrical.  And we had a few breaks of real sunshine today!

A delicious dinner at Winko's tonight... crab cakes, potatoes, asparagus, salad, and yummy beverages. Hanukkah candles glowing...

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. 

We may have gone off the deep end...

We are getting ready to go on vacation to sunny spots. Simon is coming too and Ginger bought him a set of swim trunks. He has a nice orange leash and a perky orange collar and we are traveling in our cute orange teardrop trailer... yep, off the deep end.

and then... the next amazing figure is...

Tom found this torso on the river/beach in Yachats. Someone thoughtfully colored in a swimsuit for her to wear. Can you find the story of figure without a head? I think so. Imagine your head on her body and go from there...

Figure

Liz gave this man to me. He came all the way from Iceland where she found him on a beach all alone. 

How can a broken plastic toy be so beautiful and have such a large story to tell?

Liz told me to draw him... I started today, but he is not going to just open up and tell me everything right away. He will take time to get to know.

Doughnut Daze

The donuts we made at my birthday were such a hit that I got up this morning and made a batch. Vegan and gluten free and yummy! Coconut/Chocolate and Coconut/Orange Glaze with Kristin's Citrus Sugar on top. 

Now, that is one cute girlfriend... no denying it!

So besides this Am's donut daze I have officially turned 59.  It mostly feels strange, and like I had better get a move on my life. 

I'm making a fun project for the holidays, the beach house has sold again although we won't really be sure til the papers are signed, we are "on" to travel to warm places in the little teardrop trailer, and that's about it. Oh... we took Oscar the cat to the vet. He is a very healthy 10 year old, but weighs almost 19 pounds! No wonder I'm having trouble picking him up. Poor boy, he's in for a few diet changes....

Have a great weekend!
