CreativeTherapy and Trip Preparations

Yesterday the latest of the CreativeTherpy Catalysts was published. I participated, so stop over there to take a look at my response to this week’s catalyst, if you haven’t already! It felt so good to draw again and to pick up the watercolor pencils! I’m trying to work ahead on some other catalysts so I [...]

Chicago Report and Passover Preparations

This week, I joined my husband, Dave, on a trip to Chicago, IL. While Dave was at the annual American Academy of Neurology meeting, I met Joanne in Chicago for a few days of fun. We had a fantastic time time! First, we met for a great dinner at Lockwood, the restaurant in Joanne’s hotel, [...]

Chicago, Chicago….

Friday I got up very early. DH decided not to exercise, but was still up at 5:00-ish. So he jumped in the shower and turned on all the lights, ran the hair dryer, etc… So, I got up and showered, dressed for a day of volunteering for Cochlear at the Devonshire Senior Center. They were [...]

posting from my mobile phone

as we are going to Chicago this weekend and then to France in July, I wanted to try a post that does not require me to schlep the macbook.

Weekend roundup

Friday was my treatment. I went to the infusion center to get my medication this time. If you’re a blog reader, you know I usually do my treatments at home; however, as I mentioned yesterday, I needed to have a bit more control over the date of the infusion to prepare for my trip to [...]

Quick Post

It’s Thursday and tomorrow I have my treatment. Since we have plans to travel to Chicago for Dave’s annual neurology convention, we’re doing it five days early. It’s been 20 years since I’ve been to Chicago (I’ve been to Rosemont for meetings, but that’s just not the same!). I was in college the last time [...]

Back from Santa Barbara, More Watercolor Pencils, and more

Dave and I had a lovely time in Santa Barbara. We flew directly to the Santa Barbara Airport from Phoenix. It’s a tiny quaint airport with very little in the way of amenities, but it has that lovely Spanish architecture that we loved. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t need to [...]

It’s raining mail!

I’m so blessed to have won several things at the One World One Heart blog event. I’ve started getting my prizes in the mail. Thanks to Katie, who sent me this cute notebook that’s the perfect size to keep in my purse! Thanks to Beverly, who sent a teabag folding card kit that I’m looking [...]

Two more watercolor pencil drawings

The assignment today was to use dark paper and opaque watercolor pencils or crayons to depict a sunrise or sunset scene. I have many sunset scenes to depict, as we have spent quite a bit of time in Hawaii in the past year. And there is nothing I love more than watching the sun set [...]

Prescott, AZ Girls’ Weekend

Late yesterday I returned from a lovely trip with Angie. We went away for our first (of what we expect to be many!) girls’ weekend. Prescott is about 90 miles north of Phoenix. It’s a fairly easy drive and there’s some great views. Before we got on the road, I pulled a bag out of [...]
